A combination bulk bag and manual dump batching system (photo) weighs bulk materials that are discharged from bulk bags or manually dumped from sacks, boxes and other containers, and empties the batch into mobile storage bins. The sanitary system consists of a bulk bag unloading frame, two hoppers and two flexible screw conveyors that feed a center gain-in-weight hopper under automated control. The unloader features a Spout-Lock clamp ring that forms a high-integrity seal between the clean side of the bag and the clean side of the equipment. Material contact surfaces are of stainless steel finished to sanitary standards, with the exception of removable, polymer conveyor tubes. — Flexicon Corp., Bethlehem, Pa.
