Weighing

Portable bulk-bag discarge unit discharges dust-free

The customized Flo-Master portable bulk-bag discharge sysem (photo) includes a loss-in-weight scale system and a digital weigh indicator with a bulk-bag conditioning system, to promote material flow. The company’s Flow-Lock gate halts material flow as needed for partial bag discharge. The company’s Seal-Master bag spout access chamber with “gull wing” doors and a discharge spout-sealing system that ensures dust-tight material discharge. Discharge is managed using a vacuum takeoff adaptor with air-actuated ball valve and inlet air filter. This design allows for eay connection to a pneumatic conveying system. — Material Transfer, Allegan, Mich.
