HOW IT WORKS & BENEFITS
Sequence of Operations
Our bulk bag conditioners are very easy to operate. Here is the basic sequence of operations:
Place the bulk bag between the poles.
Use the controls to move the poles.
Condition the top section of the bulk bag.
Condition the middle section of the bulk bag.
Condition the bottom section of the bulk bag.
Turn the bag on the turntable as needed.
CONFIGURATIONS
Bulk bag conditioners are available in the following configurations:
Fixed Mast, Manual Operation
Either a forklift or hoist is required to move the bulk bag into the Conditioner. The bag is then raised or lowered between each actuation to ensure complete breakup of the solid ingredient. The hydraulic drive system is controlled with the included manual lever switches.
Moveable Mast, Manual Operation
In this configuration, the poles move up and down along the mast. The bag remains stationary within the Conditioner and the poles move to provide full coverage.
Moveable Mast, Automated
The Bulk Bag Conditioner can be automated such that a bulk bag is placed on a motorized roller conveyor, automatically feed into the Conditioner, conditioned and automatically removed from the Conditioner for pickup by a forklift or hoist. The automated sequence can be initiated by a forklift operator without having to leave the truck.
For operator safety, an appropriate safety cage should be in place around the unit.
