A key part of the processing of powders, granules, and pellets is packaging these products. To maintain the hygiene and product quality of bulk goods, the method of packaging is crucial. Packaging also plays an essential role in the safe and efficient transportation of food, pet food, and feed. Depending on product characteristics, the amount of product, and transport requirements, options can include filling big bags, sacks, containers, bulk trucks, or silos. Dinnissen’s packaging and filling solutions are designed to ensure the highest quality and reliability in processing and transport.

The packaging and filling process
Each product has unique properties, and Dinnissen's diverse solutions are tailored to these specific needs. For filling big bags alone, the possibilities are endless. From a pneumatic system that allows bags to be placed quickly, safely, and ergonomically, to an inflatable cuff that seals the big bag airtight to the filling pipe, preventing product loss and dust emission. Other options include adding a weighing system, a palletizing system, or even a frame for stabilizing and compacting the big bags. The precise configuration of the filling system for bags, boxes, containers, bulk trucks, and silos depends on the product and the desired results.
Our packaging and filling solutions
BIG BAG Filling Station
A Dinnissen Big Bag Filling Station can process between 1 and 45 big bags per hour. Big bags are ideal for packaging food products such as sugar, coffee powder, and baby powder, as well as products from the feed or chemical industries. If required, an air venting system can be added, allowing big bags to be vented under vacuum after the filling process. Additionally, big bags can be vacuumed or sealed. For an ergonomic work environment, a height-adjustable system can be provided.
HIGH-CARE BIG BAG Filling Station
When strict hygiene standards must be met, big bags can be filled and sealed in a High-Care Big Bag Filling Station. In such zones, air quality is monitored to minimize the risk of product contamination. A feature of this modular system is nitrogen gas flushing, which can achieve oxygen levels of less than 0.5%. Sealing the big bags can also be added as a process step.
Bag Filling System and Bag-in-Box Filling system
For smaller product quantities, a Bag Filling System can be used, optionally in combination with a Bag-in-Box Filling System. Bags are filled, sealed, and flattened using vibration. The bags are then automatically placed in boxes. Filling containers, drums, bulk trucks, and silos can also be improved with a Dinnissen system. All these solutions are robustly built and suitable for years of intensive use. More information is available on the IBC/Drum Filling System page.
Curious which solution best fits your production process? Dinnissen is happy to work with you and provide tailor-made systems based on your specific product and process needs.
Applications of packaging and filling
Dinnissen’s filling solutions are widely used in the food industry. Both big bags, sacks, and containers are filled with products such as sugar, coffee powder, coffee beans, and cocoa beans. For products where hygiene plays a critical role, such as baby powder, our high-care solutions are often used. For transporting and temporarily storing products in the feed industry, bulk trucks or silos can be filled. If needed, a weighing system combined with a feeder valve can ensure the precise amount of product is added.
Ensuring quality
Dinnissen stands for reliability. The world’s leading producers place their trust in Dinnissen’s solutions. Our ISO 9001 certification demonstrates that our processes meet international standards for systematically delivering products and services that comply with relevant laws and regulations. Additionally, the entire organization is ISO 14001, 27001, and 45001 certified, showcasing that our environmental management system, cybersecurity, and labor conditions meet internationally accepted standards.
Upon request, we provide solutions that meet the EHEDG guidelines. Hygienically designed machines prevent contamination in the products being produced or processed, allowing food producers to use our solutions with confidence. The machines are built with stainless steel that is treated in such a way that nearly no product residue remains. The easy accessibility for cleaning also ensures long-term quality assurance of the machines. Many of Dinnissen’s machines are available in ATEX versions, making them safe to use even in environments with explosion risks.
Process as part of the total solution
Looking for more than just a single machine? As a system integrator, Dinnissen delivers complete production lines from A to Z. Taking a holistic approach, we evaluate the entire production facility and optimize layout, setup, and system architecture. The goal: maximum output, efficiency, and minimal downtime in the smallest possible space. Dinnissen integrates all machines and systems for every step of the process into one complete production line, in a highly automated system wherever possible. From specification to service. From product intake to packaging. And from machines and systems to full control and automation. To ensure a well-functioning and robust production line, Dinnissen keeps as much as possible—from engineering to production and from control to commissioning—in-house.
