Discharger Info Request Form

A steep sided hopper, among other features, ensures safety while promoting complete bulk bag discharge. We offer a variety of models which accommodate different bag styles. Control and Metering has refined methods of handling lined super sacks, including a completely sealed system suitable for the food and pharmaceutical industries.

FLO 60 SERIES  
The FLO 60 Series of Bulk Bag Dischargers feature a 60° steep sloped hopper to contain dust, safely support the bag and to empty difficult flowing ingredients. The FLO 60 has a vibrator mounted to the hopper. The bulk bag (super sack) sits down inside the hopper. The combination of a steep sloped hopper and pulsed vibration is effective in discharging any ingredient from a bulk bag. For example, various metal oxides, cocoa / chocolate mixes and TiO2 are discharged from FLO 60 Series dischargers with consistently excellent results.

The FLO 60 Series bulk bag unloaders feature a gum rubber membrane and two 4" diameter dust extraction vents. When the bag is lowered into the hopper it forms a seal with the dust membrane enclosing the bottom of the super sack. The dust vents (150 cfm each port) keep the enclosed hopper area under negative pressure to extract dust-laden air. The hopper outlet is designed to seal against the bag outlet spout preventing blowback into the hopper during discharge.

Feature Function Benefit
60° sloped hopper with pulsed vibration The bulk bag is held safely and is forced to take a conical shape. The vibrator is pulsed on and off during discharge. The sloped hopper and pulsed vibration are very effective in discharging poor flowing ingredients.
Dust membrane, dust extraction vents, outlet sized to the bag outlet spout The dust membrane seals the hopper around the bulk bag. The dust vents create a negative pressure in the hopper. The outlet spout of the super sack seals with the discharger outlet (growing piece). The combination of features provides high level of dust containment.
Large hopper access door located at chest level The bottom of the bag is accessed through the large hopper door. The bag is safely supported when untying and retying the bulk bag outlet spout. The FLO 60 Series Dischargers are very easy to use.

LINER TENSIONERS

We offer two main styles of liner tensioners depending on your requirements. The Hand Crank Tensioner is the least expensive and simplest to use. It holds the liner preventing it from discharging with the ingredient.

The Rack and Pinion Tensioner (pictured) retracts the liner 24-inch and ensures that ingredient is 100% discharged by pulling up on the liner at the end of the discharge cycle. Pneumatic operation ensures safety. The majority of liner tensioners on the market do not retract, but only hold the liner in place.

The unique passive "Double C" loop attachment ensures that the bulk bags loops will stay in place and not slip off of the bulk bag rigging frame. This design avoids hooks or spring returns to hold the super sack loops. Spring hook arrangements and cable type loop holders pose a safety hazard in the event that the cable separates from the winding device or the spring hook catches some fingers.

   
       
OTHER PRODUCT OPTIONS


Bulk Bag Squeezer

The hydraulic bulk bag squeezer is designed to break up ingredient that has formed a solid block in a bulk bag. Ingredients such as cocoa and adipic acid can become so compacted that they cannot be discharged. The bag squeezer provides a quick, easy and sage means of preconditioning these hard to discharge ingredients.

Flo Choke
The Flo Choke is designed to close off the outlet spout of a bulk bag thereby allowing the partially emptied bag to be easily removed from the discharger. Two types of Flo choke are available. The Sanitary Flo Choke is typically used in the food and pharmaceutical industries or with very dusty ingredients. The cable operated Flo Choke is used where sanitary handling requirements are less stringent and dusting is not excessive.

Bulk Bag Folder
The Bulk Bag Folder allows an operator to easily fold an empty bag in a dust free manner. Simple to use, the Bag Folder produces neatly folded bulk bags after the dust-laden air trapped in the empty bag is extracted via a dust collection system (by others).

Flexible Screw Conveyor
The flexible conveyor easily and inexpensively conveys powders, flakes, granules and crystals. 3”, 4”, 5” and 6” diameter conveyors are available. This range of conveyors coupled with an extensive list of options can handle virtually any conveying requirement. Portable units are available as are configurations designed to integrate with bulk bag dischargers and fillers. The flexible conveyor is an economical method of transferring dry ingredients. It requires little maintenance and is easy to use.
