Dustless sack emptier designed for small batches
A dustless sack emptier is designed for users who manually empty a relatively small amount of sacks as part of a production process.
Systems for automatic batch emptying of bulk bags comprise a bag support dish mounted on load cells and attached to a batch controller, which allows both 'bulk' and 'trickle' feed.
A pause and resume feature retains in memory the amount dispensed when one bag is empty.
As a new bag is positioned, the controller recalls the remaining weight needed and resumes discharging.
Circular 'yoke' closure bars facilitate batch recipe operations requiring partly filled bags to be retied and removed from the discharger.
Centralised computer inventory control is also possible as the amount of material remaining in a bulk bag can quickly be seen on the control panel of the discharger.
A bag dump door is also provided to cater for installations where dischargers continue to accept minor quantities of materials in 50lb or 25kg bags.
An integral transfer conveyor can also be suspended from the weigh frame to provide a totally self-contained discharge and loss-in-weight dispensing unit. Request a free brochure from Spiroflow ...
