Bulk Bag Unloader

img_product-page_bulk-bag-unloader_01

The Bulk Bag Unloader provides a safe, dust-free and convenient way to handle and discharge bulk bags. It is available in eight models to accommodate all styles of bulk bags and bulk bag discharger requirements. These range from a receiving hopper and frame for customer supported bulk bags to a complete bulk bag unloading station. Available options include an integral bulk bag hoist and trolley, manual or pneumatic flow shutoff valve, vibratory agitation to aid material flow and/or a bag massager for more difficult materials, conveyor, load cells and controls for a complete “turn-key” system.

Vibra Screw Bulk Bag Unloaders make handling of bulk bags finally practical by:

  • Providing an easy and safe method to lift, support and discharge bulk bags.
  • Eliminating dust and spillage associated with other methods of bulk bag handling.
  • Permitting controlled, regulated discharge with a variety of feed devices and weight control options.

Features Unique to the Vibra Screw Bulk Bag Unloader

  • Bulk Bag Support Hopper – Designed to seat and seal the bulk bag before it is opened. Operator is never required to reach beneath a suspended bulk bag to open the outlet.
  • Dust Control – Standard two-point dust collection. A bulk bag perimeter collection ring traps all dust escaping at bulk bag corners and seams. An outlet system collects dust during bag opening.
  • No-Spill Design – Unlike other “open frame”, paddle support designs, Vibra Screw’s collection hopper protects against catastrophic bulk bag spillage due to bulk bag failure, puncture or premature outlet opening.
  • Vibration Discharge System – Incorporating the same design principles as Vibra Screw Bin Activators, this assures complete emptying of the bulk bag contents without need for repositioning or adjusting the bulk bag.

Live Bottom Bin can be mounted integral to the Bulk Bag Unloader frame in sizes from 5 to 100 cubic ft capacity. Assures down stream equipment will not run out of material during bag change over.

Material Surge Bins

Live Bottom Bin can be mounted integral to the Bulk Bag Unloader frame in sizes from 5 to 100 cubic ft capacity. Assures down stream equipment will not run out of material during bag change over.
Paper Bag Dump station mounted under the outlet of a Bulk Bag Unloader allows minor ingredient to be added to the same flow stream as the material from the Bulk Bag.

Pneumatic Bulk Bag outlet spout closer. This option provides a means to seal the bag off and re-tie or to simply stop flow of material to the process. The valve is actuated with two pneumatic cylinders that move the v-formed plates toward each other. This bunches and pinches the bag off at the bag outlet spout. The pinch plates are made from stainless steel. This valve is operated automatically or manually as necessary for the specific application. Requires air set with lubricator, two way solenoid valve by customer.

Pneumatic Knife Gate Valve Operation

The Vibra Screw knife gate valve is available as a convenient way to stop the flow of material from a Bulk Bag. This valve provides a firm, precise and easy shut off for tying off of partial bags should the need arise to change material at any time. It is pneumatically operated and interlocked with the glove box door to assure safe and secure operation. It can be controlled manually by a locally mounted hand lever, or solenoid driven by remote controls while still maintaining the glove box door safety interlock. Material construction options include carbon or stainless steel.
