Low-loading bag discharger solves height
problem
A solution for a major manufacturer needing a bulk bag discharger that could overcome a distinct lack of headroom uses a special low profile hoist and unloading station.
Spiroflow provided the solution for a major manufacturer needing a bulk bag discharger that could overcome a distinct lack of headroom and incorporate a number of customised features to batch silicon carbide into a mixing tank Spiroflow solved the problem by designing a machine with a special low profile hoist and unloading station with a height of only 3.2m, compared to the head room of at least 5m required by most bulk bag dischargers on the market when an integral hoist is included on the machine
The bag is untied by means of an access door in the product transfer chute directly under the discharger.
The machine also incorporates a flexible screw conveyor.
Load cells are located at the mid-section, enabling batch weights of product to be discharged from the bulk bag as required.
Massage bars aid the flow of product from the bag into the discharge chute and conveyor. Request a free brochure from Spiroflow ...
