Read MoreFor discharging a variety of products into a production line, FIBC ‘Big Bag’ Dischargers capture dust and eliminate product spillage and contamination.
FIBC Big Bag Dischargers are machines that safely unload bulk materials from large, flexible containers called FIBC bags or super sacks.
These dischargers usually have a frame for support, a hoist, and a chute. The setup lifts a bag, puts it over the receiving area, and controls the speed at which it releases the material.
Vibrating motors can adjust the system. This ensures a smooth flow. Additionally, we use longer chutes to avoid spills. We also implement slide valves to regulate the flow rate of the product.
FIBC Big Bag Discharger systems are crucial in various industries for cost-effective and safe material handling, enhancing efficiency.
They swiftly unload fertilisers, grains, and seeds in agriculture material handling, enabling efficient distribution. In food processing, we handle powders and ingredients carefully to maintain product quality and prevent the release of fine particles.
The pharma sector relies on them in pharmaceutical discharge systems, for contaminant-free release of active ingredients, ensuring stringent quality control. For construction material handling, these dischargers streamline the handling of cement, sand, and aggregates, optimising workflows. FIBC Big Bag Dischargers help chemical manufacturers safely unload different compounds without dust, meeting their needs for secure big bag unloading and discharging.
