Spiroflow Type 3 bulk bag discharger

The Spiroflow Type 3 bulk bag discharger accurately dispenses batches weighing from 22 lb to 3,300 lb. It uses electronic load cells directly below the top bag-holding frame, ensuring that the bag and load cells are safely off the floor and out of the way of facility hazards. An optional integral transfer conveyor, such as a flexible screw discharge conveyor, can also be suspended from the holding frame for a totally self-contained discharge and loss-in-weight dispensing system that is dust- and contamination-free. The discharger is capable of removing partially emptied bulk bags, each of which is loaded into the frame by hoist or forklift and sealed at the bottom spout within the dust cabinet of the discharge chute. Product flows from the chute into the integral flexible-screw discharge conveyor. A patented spout-closure device lets the operator untie the bag through an access door without releasing product from the bag; once the access door is closed, the spout closure device can be opened to allow product flow.
