Combined Loading Station | Flexible Loading of Bagged Goods and Big Bags
The combined feeding station for bagged goods and big bags enables flexible feeding of raw materials into closed, automated feeding systems. Bags and big bags can be fed at the same station. This allows the type of container to be adapted to the raw material, throughput, and process requirements. Big bags can be used as transport and storage containers, particularly for smaller throughput rates.
Low-dust product feeding from bags
When the hopper lid is opened, the suction process starts automatically. The bag is then emptied into the hopper; a specially designed filter cleans the extracted air. This ensures that the bulk material enters the closed production system with minimal dust, while reducing exposure to escaping product dust.
Emptying Big Bags Safely and Without Leaving Any Residue
To empty a big bag, the discharge spout is guided over the station’s inlet spout and securely fastened by a pressure disc that can be lowered manually or pneumatically. The big bag can then be emptied in a controlled manner. This design ensures that the bulk material is transferred to the subsequent process without leaving any residue.
Reliably Discharging Poorly Flowing Bulk Materials
For bulk materials with poor flow properties, the big-bag discharge table can be equipped with a vibration system or a kneading device. This facilitates discharge even when dealing with challenging bulk material properties. An optional empty-bag detection system provides timely notification when a big bag needs to be replaced, thereby facilitating a continuous supply of material.
Adapt the input station to the process
The combined feeding station can be customized to fit the downstream systems. An inlet wrapping device is available as an option. This allows product feeding to be carried out in accordance with the existing system configuration and the requirements of bulk material handling.
