IEDCO, Turnersville, N.J., developed bulk bag unloaders with a bulk bag deflation system that provides containment while allowing the operator to compact empty bulk bags.
These bulk bag unloading systems create a dust-tight seal when the bulk bags are connected to the integral flange and lowered onto the inlet rim of the unloader. Once the dust-free discharging is complete, the operator may compact the empty bag with the bulk bag deflation system. This compacts an empty bulk bag while connected to an in-house dust collection system to eliminate the pluming of dust when bags are manually crushed after emptying.
