Bulk Bag Discharge Stations Carolina Conveying’s Bulk Bag Discharge Stations are designed and built with four things in mind: Operator Safety, Dust Control, Product Discharge and Rugged Construction. All of these design features add up to the best bulk bag discharge station available on the market. Numerous options are available: Hoist & Trolley, Integral Dust Collection, Integral Bag Dump Station, Product Declumper, Batch Loss-in-Weight, Bag Tensioners and discharge feed devices such as Rotary Valves, Screw Feeders, Flexible Screw Conveyors, Aero-mechanical Conveyors, etc. Operator Safety
Rugged Construction The main support frame is constructed of 4 tubular, structural steel. This heavy duty design insures that the station will not sway when loaded with even the heaviest bags. All lifting frames are load tested, stamped and certified for the required load. For units with integral hoist and trolley, the entire station is load tested and certified, all to OSHA requirements. Dust Control Dust control is accomplished in several ways with the Carolina Conveying Bulk Bag Product Discharge Product discharge is often difficult from bulk bags due to compaction during storage and Bag Closure Carolina Conveying’s pinch bars allow dust control and flow control. After the bag is loaded into the discharge station, the spout is pulled down into the access module. The pinch bars are then closed. The operator then unties the bag spout and closes the access door. The pinch bars are then opened, allowing product to flow. This allows the bag to be untied without exposing the operator to product. Product flow can be stopped at any time by closing the pinch bars. Partial empty bags can be retied shut and removed from the station.
Bag Outlet Spout Feed Tube & Clamp Ring Option Carolina Conveying offers an optional bag outlet spout clamp for their bulk bag discharge stations. The outlet spout clamp is useful for applications where minimal operator dust exposure is required, or in sanitary applications where product cannot come into contact with the outer bag. The outlet spout clamp consists of a feed tube and clamp ring, which is either pneumatic or manually operated. The bag outlet spout is pulled down through the clamp ring and then over the OD of the feed tube. If the bag has a liner, then it is stuffed down inside the feed tube. With the bag spout in place, the clamp ring is pulled down tight to the feed tube. A gasket on the underside of the clamp insures a good seal. Note that unlike some of our competitors, the clamp ring is still totally enclosed in our access module insuring that any accidental spills are contained. An optional bag deflator pulls out all dust-laden air from the bag once it is empty, deflating the bag at the same time for easier disposal.
