A bulk bag unloading system, containing (3) unloader stations, precisely dispenses additives into a blending and mixing system. Each station contains an over head rail with a powered hoist and trolley to lift the bag transport frame and bulk bag into each station.
Under the bulk bag is an untie hopper and delumper to remove any lumps before entering a vibratory feeder. The feeder meters the powdered material into a pneumatic conveyor. The pneumatic conveyor then transfers the material to a weigh hopper located above the blending and mixing system.
Bulk bag handling equipment including unloader stations, screw feeder, and mixer
This bulk bag handling equipment is used to dispense chlorine additives that are mixed with powdered chloride. This creates a water treatment agent for use in swimming pools and hot tubs.
This unloading system consists of (3) big bag unloading stations, (1) IBC tote bin unloading station, volumetric screw feeders, and a mixing screw conveyor with controls for operation.
As chlorine powder enters the system, three additional additives are volumetrically added to the powder in the mixing screw. The controls allow for the operator to adjust the rate that the additives are fed into the mixer.
This bulk bag emptying system unloads titanium dioxide (TiO2) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) powder into 5 pound plastic bags. The titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate are additives in a rubber compounding system.
The additives arrive in 2,000 pound bulk bags. The bags are loaded into the emptying system. Below the station is a vibratory hopper that draws the material out of the bulk bag and into a surge hopper. Material is metered out of the surge hopper into the preformed plastic bag, which is secured on a bag clamp.
Unloading Big Bags Containing Drilling Mud and Additives
This bulk bag equipment unloads big bags containing drilling mud and additives and dispenses them into an industrial mixer. The equipment is located on an offshore drilling rig.
The bulk bags take the place of traditional 50 pound bags, which required excessive manpower and time to open and feed into the educator system. They also allow for quicker unloading time and are reusable. After use, they are returned to shore for cleaning and refilling.
The bulk bag unloader is designed to support up to 7,500 pound bulk bags. Compressed air is used for all of the controls, as well as for the bag hoist and trolley. This eliminates any electrical devices on the entire system.
This pneumatic conveying system is designed specifically for conveying hot abrasive ash, such as bottom ash (or fly ash) from boiler beds, baghouses, or electrostatic precipitators. These systems can handle temperatures up to 650°F (1,800°F with assembly) and can be arranged in a single line of 1 to 10 units. The Macawber pneumatic conveying systems also use about 50% less energy than typical fly ash conveying systems.

A major aggregate producer in North Texas was experiencing damage to their vertical shaft impactor from tramp metal. This unwanted metal would reach the conveyor belt during the mining process. These metallic items were also accidentally dropped on the belt.
The Derrick Solids Separator is designed to remove solids from feedstock oil. The system operates continuously and is designed for unattended operation, low maintenance, and produces clean oil and dry stackable solids. Solids loading in the feedstock oil does not effect the efficiency of the system.
The Choice Bagging Equipment 900 Series Horizontal Impeller Valve Bagging Machine is designed to package carbon black powder into valve bags at rates up to 8 bags per minute. The patented six star impeller has a large material inlet and moves the carbon black powder to the bag with positive feed and minimum aereation of the powder. The absence of air allows for faster filling of the bags. The impeller is driven by a variable speed motor to control precise bag weight.
