Bulk bag discharging system

By Wayne Labs, Senior Contributing Technical Editor

Material Transfer’s sanitary bulk bag discharging system fits within a specified footprint for integration with existing equipment. The unit is loaded via an existing hoist system using the proprietary Spider-Lift bag lifting frame. The discharge spout is connected to the discharge transition with the supplier’s Sure-Seal spout-clamping system for dust-tight operation. The bag is massaged with Power-Flo and Flo-Master systems to promote material flow.
