This system empties bagged powders safely
The AFC Dump Clean EX bag break station (photo) permits powders to be automatically transferred from bags, sacks, drums and other containers into storage or into the process without allowing fine particles to escape into the workplace. The station continuously draws dust inside the unit before it can become airborne, virtually eliminating the fuel source from the explosive environment along with the potential for an explosive incident. The AFC Dump Clean EX features an upgraded hazardous-location motor with companion electrical components that meet National Electrical Code standards for transferring Class I, Division II hazardous materials, plus an explosion-proof NEMA 7/9 control panel enclosure, and anti-static filter media to prevent electrostatic discharge. — Automated Flexible Conveyor, Clifton, N.J.
