Determining Your Requirements

Understanding your application is the starting point for any piece of custom-designed equipment. A supplier is going to ask about your goals, product, layout, measuring techniques, rate, and more. They want to get an idea of how to make the installation a success.

  • Will you be discharging by volume or by weight?
  • Are your bulk bags used for single trips?
  • Do you have height restrictions?
  • Forklift or hoist loaded?
  • Are you emptying more than just bulk bags?
  • Do you need total containment?
