Integrated Dump Clean bag break station and SpiralFeeder flexible screw conveyor operates as a single, portable unit. Bag break station is mounted atop the conveyor infeed hopper, offering conveying with dust-controlled bag emptying on a compact footprint and eliminating the ductwork needed to connect the Dump Clean to the screw conveying system in a traditional configuration. System is suitable for foods, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other materials and ingredients that may generate dust when loaded into a process and features an integrated fan and filter system that continuously draws fine particles inside the unit before they can escape as nuisance dust. As bags are emptied, material passes neatly into the sealed conveyor infeed hopper for automated transfer to a mixer, reactor, bagger, or container. A dust collection hopper captures fine particles for reuse and designed-in fork pockets promote safe, easy movement from one processing line to another by forklift. System is offered in carbon steel as standard, in stainless steel for sanitary processing, and/or with explosion-proof upgrades for managing combustible dusts in hazardous locations. Product testing is offered in the company’s on-site test lab.
