T6 Bulk Bag Unloader with Hoist
System OVerview
Our T6 bulk bag unloader is a fully self-contained unloading station with bulk bag lifter for dust-free and controllable bulk bag emptying.
The T6 has an integral “I” beam and hoist for lifting and loading bags into the unloader and is directly connected to an enclosed conveyor for direct transfer of product to process machinery. Bulk bags may be brought to the unloader by pallet truck and stored ready for lifting without the need for forklift assistance. Full dust control features are incorporated.
Like all of our bulk bag unloaders, the T6 with integral bag lifter can be provided with a multitude of options such as loss-in-weight batch controls, extended gantry frame & hoist for multi-bag processing, bag dump door, hygienic liner clamp, liner remover, bag massagers to aid material flow, and more. Of course, custom designs are always available.
Features
- Space-saving integral bag hoist with a runway beam
- Dispenses contents by volume or weight
- Integral conveyor or feeder
- Quiet operation
- No forklift truck required
- Full dust control
HOW IT WORKS & BENEFITS
The T6 Integral Hoist Bulk Bag Unloader is used when bulk bags must be loaded and unloaded into the frame without the use of a forklift.
This bulk bag unloader is made of heavy-duty square tubing framework with cross members, an upper frame and an “I” beam for the 2-ton electric hoist with trolley for lifting the bulk bag into the support dish. The bulk bag provides the seal against the support dish for a dust free seal. The heavy-duty 4 in./ 100 mm square steel tube frame is welded directly to the support dish. The T6 Bulk Bag Unloader can incorporate a number of design options in order to provide maximum versatility & ease of use. The discharge of the chute is custom made to fit the application.
Process Steps
STEP 1: A bulk bag of product is fitted with the Bag Lifting Frame.
STEP 2: The operator lifts the bulk bag into place with the integral hoist & trolley.
STEP 3: With the weight of the bag safely supported by the Support Dish, the operator can now freely & safely access the bottom spout of the bag.
STEP 4: The operator opens the access door & unties the bag spout.
