HOW IT WORKS & BENEFITS
The T2 universal bulk bag unloader specializes in volume-based unloading. This unloader features a support dish constructed to fit most bottom-spout bulk bags. The spout of the bag extends through the center of the dish, allowing easy access. A dust-free seal is created by the bulk bag against the support dish.
The Type 2 universal unloader offers a variety of design choices for enhanced flexibility and user convenience. Its discharge chute is designed to suit the requirements of each application.
The T2 bulk bag unloaders are designed for simplicity and ease of use. Here’s the basic operation process:
- Attach the bulk bag to the lifting frame.
- Use a forklift to elevate the bag and position it onto the side tensioning frame.
- The bag’s weight compresses the springs, positioning the bottom of the bag on the support dish.
- The bag spout needs to be pulled into the untie chamber.
- Then the door closed and spout closure bars engaged to prevent material from falling on an operators arms when untying.
- Then the operator goes in and unties the bag spout. Closes the door and disengages the spout closure bars to allow product to begin flowing.
- The springs on the tensioning frame push the bag upwards and the material exits and the weight of the bag decreases. Allowing the bag to completely empty of material
- Material falls into the chute, moving via the integrated conveyor to the next process step.
- After emptying, retie the bottom spout and remove both the lifting frame and the bag.
The loops of the bag are attached to a bag lifting frame and the liner clamped.
The spring tension would be relieved as the bag loses weight
Integral chute has an access door for easy bag untying. Patented spout closure bars ensure the bag remains tightly closed until the discharging process starts.
Pneumatically operated massage system, adjustable in position for optimum effectiveness, ensures a consistent flow of difficult products.
An integral conveyor transfers bag contents directly to your process or, in this case, a tanker.
