Bulk Bag Unloading Equipment

Superior Bulk Bag Unloader for Efficient Material Handling 

A bulk bag unloader, also known as a Super Sack unloader, FIBC unloader (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container), or Bulk Bag Discharger, is designed to safely and efficiently unload large bags containing bulk materials. These bags are typically used to store and transport dry, granular, or powdery substances in industries like food processing, chemicals, agriculture, and construction. 

Benefits of a Bulk Bag Unloader 

► Efficient Unloading: Speed up your unloading process compared to manual methods, reducing time and labor costs. 

► Enhanced Safety: Minimize risks of spills, dust exposure, and contamination with integrated dust collection and sealed discharge systems. 

► Versatility and Flexibility: Accommodates a wide range of bulk bag sizes (up to 4,000 lbs/1814 kg) with adjustable frames and lifting mechanisms. 

► Improved Material Flow: Features like vibration systems, pneumatic flow assistance, and agitators ensure smooth discharge even for clumpy or sticky materials. 

► Automation and Accuracy: Automated discharge control systems ensure consistent flow rates and precision in material handling.

Iris valve

Designed to gently control the discharge of free flowing powders, granules, and pellets while untying the bag. However, the spout cannot close when full of material.

Pneumatic Pinch Valve

If the bag spout needs to be closed while the material is still in the bag, the Pneumatic Pinch Valve is recommended.

Access Chamber

Used for untying the bag spout. Common for most application, this safety enhancement reduces dust exposure.
