These bag-discharge stations are versatile
Developed to promote the safe discharge and complete emptying of flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs), super sacks and other bulk bags, these bulk-bag unloaders (photo) are custom-engineered with a wide range of design options and accessories to accommodate any powder processing application, including in hazardous, non-hazardous and sanitary environments. The line of bulk-bag unloaders can be configured for use with a forklift or with an automated chain hoist to ensure the filled bags are safely raised and held in place while a dust-tight iris valve assembly prevents any material from escaping into the workplace. Suitable for unloading bulk bags with up to 4,000 lb of powders, granules pellets and other dry, bulk materials, the rugged unloading stations are manufactured in stainless steel or mild steel with industrial or sanitary finish and continuous precision welds. Integrated bag breaking, bag conditioning, weighing and other equipment are also available as options.— Automated Flexible Conveyor, Inc., Clifton, N.J.
