Kellogg Company: Bulk packaging of cereal: Bag opening and filling

Consisting of a corrugated bottom sheet, a pre-made flexible-film bag, and stretch film, the K-one system replaces a corrugated bulk box and flexible film liner.

Like that packaging format, the K-one bulk pack is used by Kellogg to move cereal from where it's processed to where it's packaged, whether in-house or at a contract packager. The ring is elevated from floor level to a height of about 10 feet. Following a burst of air to fully open the bag, filling of cereal begins.
