Bulk Bag Unloaders

portable bulk bag unloader

Bulk bag unloaders (also called super sack unloaders or bulk bag dispensers) are used for material transfer from large bulk bags to industrial processing equipment or downstream bagging machines. These bulk bag unloaders are capable of supporting many different bag weights, usually in the range of 2,000 to 4,000 pounds, using heavy duty unloading frames with bag hoists. Some types of unloaders also include bulk bag conditioners (or bulk bag massagers) that promote material flow from the bulk bag.

Once the bulk bag has been lifted into place, an operator opens the access door to untie the spout and feed it into a bulk bag dispenser valve for dust-free unloading. Then the operator can unload, dispense, and discharge material to valve bag fillers, open mouth bag fillers, mixers, blenders, feeders, and more. The entire process can range from manual to fully automatic systems with multiple dump stations or portable bulk bag unloaders.

Discharge Product from Bulk Bags into Batching Mixing System

This big bag unloader discharges material from a bulk bag into an industrial mixer. An operator lifts a bulk bag using a fork truck and hangs it on the frame.  Material is drawn out of the bag using an enclosed vibrating feeder and transfers it into a paddle mixer for blending with other dry ingredients. The feeder is controlled by a loss-in-weight system comprised of load cells and a controller to dispense a specific weight of material per batch.
