This bag discharger has a mobile conveyor and hopper

A new mobile bulk-bag discharger with mobile flexible screw conveyor allows dust-free discharging of bulk solid materials and conveying to downstream process equipment or storage vessels throughout the plant. Mounted on locking casters, the Bulk-Out BFF Series discharger (photo) has four adjustable extension posts to accommodate bulk bags 36- to 84-in. tall. The removable bag-lifting frame with Z-Clip strap holders allows bulk bags to be attached at ground level, then forklifted into receiving cups on the discharger frame. A Spout-Lock clamp ring atop a pneumatically actuated Tele-Tube telescoping tube secures the clean side of bag spout to the clean side of the equipment, and exerts continuous downward tension on the bag as it empties and elongates, promoting flow and evacuation. A vent port with a filter sock contains dust. — Flexicon Corp., Bethlehem, Pa.
