Bag dump stations are used to safely and hygienically transfer product from bags, pails or sacks into the process system. They can be integrated to fit up to most downstream equipment such as flexible or rigid screw conveyors, pneumatic transfer systems and blenders to name just a few.
A bag rest platform allows the operator to position a bag lifted either manually, using a bag lifter or from an infeed conveyor in front of the hinged access door. The hinged access door once opened is held in place by a gas stay support.
The bag is then slit manually and the product tipped into the easy clean hopper or the bag dump which is provided with a quick removable safety mesh to prevent bags falling in. The design of the bag dump hopper depends on the product and can include flow control devices like agitators, vibrators and air pads.
