Big bag discharge units are equipment used to empty Big Bags (also called Bags, FIBCs, or bulk bags) safely, in a controlled manner, and without waste. They are very common in industries that handle powders, grains, granules, and dry raw materials.
It is a metal structure equipped with systems that allow a Big Bag to be hung, opened, and discharged in a controlled manner into a silo, tank, mixer, or production line.
Discharge stations serve to:
1. Safely discharge Big Bags: Prevents risks of falls, tears, and accidents with operators.
2. Reduce dust and dirt: The product falls directly onto the factory equipment without spreading dust.
3. Control the flow of material: Allows opening and closing of the outlet, preventing uncontrolled discharge.
4. Increase productivity: An operator can empty the big bag quickly, without physical effort.
5. Integrate the Big Bag into the industrial process: such as silos, conveyors, screw conveyors, mixers, sieves, and filling machines.
Main materials discharged from Big Bag units:
Fertilizers, animal feed, bran, seeds, grains in general (such as corn, soybeans, and sorghum), crystal or refined sugar, salt, coffee beans or ground coffee, starch, flour, cocoa, clay, limestone, cement, gypsum, hydrated lime, powdered mineral products, granulated plastic resins (PP, PE, PET), pigments, chemical additives, calcium carbonate, silica, raw materials for rubber, food powders, ingredients for supplements, dry pharmaceutical products, various granules, and powdered materials used in the chemical, food, and construction industries. |
