Discharging with height restriction - Low Loader Model T5.
Spiroflow's T5 Low Loading Big Bag Discharger empties big bags and sacks in process areas where restricted headroom causes problems in handling bags or where only a low fork lift truck is available.
The big bag discharger is coupled directly to a flexible screw conveyor or other suitable conveyor which meters ingredients from the bag either by volume or by weight. Ingredients may then be fed direct to either mixing or other process equipment to provide a fully automatic ingredients unloading, proportioning and transfer system.
The height of the access door has been designed to receive small sacks, which is of particular benefit to processors who have switched over to big bags, but still continue to receive minor ingredients in 25kg sacks.
Processors with batching operations may choose to have several bag frames for use with one discharge station, allowing them to partially empty, re-tie and store bulk bags.
Operation:
|
1. The top section of the big bag discharger is a removable frame on to which the bulk bag is loaded at ground level. The frame is spring loaded to tension the bag during discharge. |
2. The frame has fork channels at its base and needs only to be lifted on to the big bag discharger base. |
3. The big bag discharger base unit has a dust-tight docking seal on to which the top frame and bag is placed. |
4. When the bag is untied, the access door is closed and the clamp opened to release the bag contents, either partially or fully depending on the flow rate required and the flow properties. For poor flowing or compacted materials, 'massage' plates are fitted to assist flow from the bag. |
