Bulk Bag Conditioner Loosens Solidified Materials

Feb. 13, 2012
Flexicon's bulk bag conditioner is recommended for bulk bags containing certain spice blends and heat-sensitive products.

Flexicon's new Bulk Bag Conditioner includes two hydraulic rams and specially contoured end plates which press opposing sides of bulk bags thereby loosening materials that have solidified during storage and shipment. enabling bulk bag unloaders to discharge it through bag spouts.

A cantilevered I-beam with motorized hoist and trolley allows loading and unloading of bulk bags without the use of a forklift. The bag can also be raised and lowered using the hoist, and rotated manually, for conditioning at any height on all sides.   

The system controller and hydraulic pump can be mounted on the exterior of the safety cage or remotely. The conditioner is fully enclosed on all four sides for operator safety and includes full-height doors that are interlocked to disallow operation of the system when the doors are open.
