Bulk bag discharger reduces health risks
The recently launched Bulk Bag Discharger, from Flexicon (Europe), has been designed to eliminate dust during processing while achieving greater efficiency.
A bulk bag/hopper interface enables an operator to make a quick, dust-tight connection.
The telescoping tube raises the clamp ring assembly that seals the clean side of the bag spout to the clean side of the telescoping tube, then lowers until the bag spout is pulled taut. Once the spout is untied, the telescoping assembly exerts continual downward tension on the spout, elongating the bag as it empties.
Another new feature on the discharger is an integral Bag-Vac dust collector that creates negative pressure within the dust-tight system to collapse empty bags prior to retying and disconnection. The discharger is also equipped with FLOW-FLEXER bag activators that raise and lower opposite bottom edges of the bag at timed intervals, loosening compacted materials and promoting material flow into the bag discharge spout. As the bag lightens, the stroke of the bag activators increases, raising the bag into a steep 'V' shape, eliminating dead spots for total evacuation of material with no manual intervention.
