Manual dump to Rigid Bin weigh-batch system
A new Manual Dump to Rigid Bin weigh-batching system eliminates dust during manual dumping from bags, boxes, drums and other containers, de-lumps the material, and feeds it gravimetrically
A patented, UDSA-accepted Power-Cincher flow control valve cinches the bag spout concentrically, allowing dust-free retying of partially empty bags.
Promoting complete discharge of free and non-free-flowing material from the bulk bag are Flow-Flexer bag activators that raise and lower opposite bottom sides of the bag into a steep "V" shape, and a patented Tele-Tube telescoping tube that maintains constant downward tension on the bag as it empties and elongates.
All stainless steel construction with continuous ground and polished welds meets food, dairy and pharmaceutical standards, and allows rapid, thorough wash down.
A cantilevered I-beam with electric hoist and trolley allows raising and positioning of bulk bags without the aid of a forklift.
Also offered is a BFF-F-X model equipped with top-mounted receiving cups and a removable bag-lifting frame for forklift loading of bulk bags.
The unit is available with a hopper and flexible screw conveyor that meet 3-A sanitary standards, or a rotary airlock valve to feed material into a pneumatic conveyor line.
It is also offered with an integral bulk bag conditioner to loosen materials that have solidified in the bag, and integrated scale systems for loss-of-weight batching directly from bulk bags.
