The new BBU bulk bag unloading station design from process equipment manufacturer Automated Flexible Conveyor, Clifton, NJ, (afcspiralfeeder.com), features an optional clear window to allow operators to see the material discharging from the bag without risk of releasing any material into the workspace. Set into the access housing where the bulk bag is untied for emptying, the clear window offers instantaneous visual confirmation of the material flow and discharge rate. Dust-free monitoring of the material flow throughout the bag unloading process is safe and easy, and any bridging, blockages, or flow rate fluctuations can be noticed immediately and quickly addressed.
Suitable for emptying bagged powders, granules, pellets, and other free-flowing and non-free-flowing bulk materials, the AFC BBU with the clear window was developed to provide a safe, efficient, hands-free way to verify that the bag is properly secured inside the tie box and fully opened for emptying. The bulk bag unloading station stands in a sturdy, steel frame that safely accommodates bulk bags with up 4,000 lbs. of material in a wide range of sizes and styles.
The new AFC bulk bag unloader with the viewing window is designed and manufactured at the company's New Jersey headquarters. Testing with filled FIBCs, sacks, and other bulk bags is offered in the company’s on-site test center.
