Mobile Bulk Bag Discharger Features Manual Dump Station

May 16, 2012
Flexicon's new Mobile Half-Frame Bulk Bag Unloader with multi-purpose hopper allows food processing material to be discharged from bulk bags, manually dumped from sacks, and conveyed to downstream processes and storage vessels dust free
For in-plant mobility, Flexicon's new Mobile Half-Frame Bulk Bag Unloader minimizes weight and achieves a low center of gravity by eliminating upper frame components, relying instead on a manufacturer's forklift or plant hoist to suspend the bag above the unit during operation.The bulk-bag-to-hopper interface consists of a spout-lock clamp ring positioned atop a pneumatically actuated tele-tube telescoping tube, allowing dust-tight connections and unrestricted flow between the bag spout and hopper, as well as automatic tensioning of the bag as it empties to promote flow and evacuation. A flexible screw conveyor transports free-flowing and non-free-flowing bulk materials including products that pack, cake, smear, seize or fluidize. The conveyor support mast cantilevers from the frame, and runs parallel to the conveyor tube, allowing the caster-mounted system to maneuver in restricted areas.
