Control and Metering’s mission is to

optimize every bulk bag handling

system on earth.

That’s a lofty goal to be sure, but it

proves that we’re passionate about

solving bulk bag handling problems

and maximizing production profitability

while we're at it.

Founded in Toronto in 1937, Control

and Metering has provided its

customers with bulk solid handling

systems for over seven decades.

Beginning some 20 years ago, Control

and Metering was one of the first

companies in North America to

manufacture bulk bag handling

equipment.

Right from the start our equipment

was unique and offered remarkable

performance and value – attributes

that still hold true today.

Control and Metering has the

experience and expertise to transform

your bulk bag operation into an

optimized system – that maximizes

profitability and makes your life easier.

Preliminary Optimization Analysis

Improvement Opportunities

Based on the discovery session conducted on

September 25, 2009, the following areas were analyzed

to determine if improvements could be made:

Productivity: Increase bagging rate to 30 bph,

reduce one operator at filler.

Packaging cost: Decrease bulk bag height by 10%,

eliminate wood pallets.

Shipping cost: Increase payload by 10% to 1,850 lb.

Recovered revenue: Reduce overfill from 10 lb per

bulk bag to 2 lb.

Safety: New equipment will not require operators to

walk into filler to rig bag.

SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainable plant operations are an

increasingly important imperative.

We’ll minimize your dust emissions

and determine how reusing,

recycling and reducing bulk bag

related packaging can help achieve

your sustainability goals.

RECOVERED REVENUE

Do you sell your product by the

weight in each bulk bag? If so, you

are likely overfilling each package to

avoid short-shipping your customer.

You’re also giving away free product.

The solution?

We’ll apply our systems expertise to

cut overfill and recover lost revenue.

INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY

Increased throughput, fewer

operators, automated systems, less

clean up. All of these factors and

more reduce the per pound labor cost

of your product and boost productivity.
