BULK
BAG FOLDER
Following
the launch of patented automatic Bulk Bag Folder, there
has been much interest and many demonstrations. Optional
integral FIBC support tables are a direct response to the
specific needs of customers handling FIBC's that are long,
have a heavy weave or stiff liners.
The
Bulk Bag Folder system means that operators no longer have
to wrestle with unwieldy discharged FIBC's. More importantly,
the integral dust extraction connection ensures discharged
FIBC's can be folded safely.
The
ideal partner for the Bulk Bag Folder is a FLO 60 Bulk Bag
Discharger fitted with an optional FIBC Evacuation and Bag
Collapsing Arms. When emptying is complete, a vacuum is
applied to the inside of the FIBC or liner, and automatic
bag collapsing arms collapse the FIBC along its natural
creases. The FIBC can be then be removed from the discharge
station in a flat condition, free of dust laden air, for
easy transfer to the Bulk Bag Folder.
However,
not all FIBC discharging operations justify FIBC Evacuation
and Bag Collapsing Arms. The next best option is a Bulk
Bag Folder fitted with an integral FIBC support table. This
enables the operator to lay the bag out flat whilst clipping
it to the dust extraction connection. This makes it easy
for the operator to ensure that the FIBC has folded along
its natural creases ensuring problem-free, flattest possible,
aesthetically pleasing FIBC's folded ready for re-use. The
integral support table really does come into its own with
FIBC's that are long, have a heavy weave or stiff liners.
The
integral support table has been ingeniously designed to
double fold down flat against the front of the Bulk Bag
Folder - significantly reducing the floor space required
when not in use.
Residue
product, disturbed during the folding process, is removed
under vacuum and the inside of the FIBC spout is cleaned
as the folder automatically withdraws it from the extraction
connection. Folded FIBC's are easy remove from the Bulk
Bag Folder and are easy to handle whether for stacking onto
pallets for reuse or inserting into suitable containers
for disposal.
Once
emptied large bulk bags can be unwieldy. To smooth the transition
for disposal to an easily managed package, we have developed
an Automated Bag Folder.
