Bulk bag discharger Bulk bag dischargers in Flexicon’s Bulk-Out BFF Series have multiple features to ensure the bags empty fully. The discharger makes a secure connection with the bag’s spout for dust-free operation, and a telescoping tube exerts constant downward tension as the bag empties to promote better material flow. Another feature aiding bag evacuation without manual intervention is Flow-Flexer, which has activators on opposite sides of the bag that rise to push the bottom of the bag into a steep “V” angle at timed intervals.
What’s new? A bulk bag discharger with dual screw conveyors.
Benefits Space savings. The dual screw conveyors let a single unit feed two downstream processes, separately or simultaneously, and the secure connection to the bag reduces dust. Loading is simplified with the discharger’s removable bag-lifting frame, which lets workers use a forklift to position bags, and the bags are secured with strap holders. The system is available in carbon steel with a durable industrial coating, or stainless steel that can be finished to industrial or pharmaceutical standards.
