Bulk bag weigh batch unloading system with manual dumping station, flexible screw conveyor
Flexicon, Bethlehem, Pa., revamped its BULK-OUTbulk bag weigh batch unloading system to include a manual dumping station and flexible screw conveyor that automatically conveys weighed batches of contamination-sensitive materials to downstream processes for rapid sanitizing.
The BFC model discharger frame is equipped with a cantilevered I-beam with electric hoist and trolley for positioning of bulk bags without the use of a forklift. A SPOUT-LOCK clamp ring atop a TELE-TUBE telescoping tube securely connects the clean side of the bag spout to the clean side of the equipment intake, and maintains constant downward tension on the bag as it empties and elongates, promoting complete discharge from the bag.
