Hoist-type bulk bag discharger





Spiroflow Systems’ Type 6 hoist bulk bag discharger allows unloading of bulk bags without the need of a forklift truck. The unit can be used for unloading powder or granular product material into various processing equipment such as mixers, sifters and mills as well as packing equipment. Transfer from the discharger to process or packing can be direct or by one or more conveyors including flexible screw, vacuum, pneumatic and aero-mechanical conveyors. Each unit is tailored to suit individual customer specifications and is available in carbon steel and 304 stainless steel (SS) options. The discharger allows one operator to control a standard 1-ton hoist that positions the bulk bag into the discharger.
