Bulk Bag Discharger Model T10 - for the Pharmaceutical Industry.

Interlocked, power operated pinch bars are provided to clamp the bulk bag neck so that the neck ties can be released safely. Dependent upon the potency of the active ingredient, releasing the neck ties, cutting open sealed liners, feeding them through the clamp ring and over the discharge spout all takes place within a negative pressure enclosure connected to a HEPA filtration system either through an access door or through a sealed glove box arrangement.

Once the liner is clamped to the outlet spigot (and, where fitted, the access door is locked shut) the pinch bars can be released to allow product to discharge from the bulk bag into the hopper. The disconnection of the big bag neck takes place under partial vacuum and can be safely stowed within the body of the bulk bag before it is lifted off for folding or compaction.

The liner clamp has the option of pneumatic or manual operation. Where pneumatic operation is provided, for safety reasons, the operator has to remove his hands from the gloves and continuously press two operating buttons, one on either side of the cabinet or close the interlocked dust tight clamp housing access door.

As an option, our Pharmaceutical Bulk Bag Dischargers can be furnished with connections and clamps for proprietary liner clamping systems such as the'DovePac' IBC/FIBC docking system from ILC Dover which offers advanced barrier and isolation technology.
