Bag break station provides dust-free bulk material loading

Automated Flexible Conveyor’s Dump Clean bag break station is a dust-free loading solution for bulk material handling applications. Designed to integrate seamlessly with a variety of conveying systems, the station allows operators to empty bagged materials safely and efficiently into production lines without releasing dust into the workspace.

The Dump Clean station supports direct connection to pneumatic conveyors, vacuum conveyors, enclosed vibratory conveyors, and flexible screw conveyors, including AFC’s SPIRALFEEDER system. Optional accessories such as rotary airlock valves, flexible hose, screw feeders, and lump breakers may be specified to match process requirements.

Engineered for food, nutrition, chemical, and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments, the bag dump station features an integrated fan and filter system that continuously draws dust inside the enclosure. Fine particles are captured in a dedicated hopper, allowing for reuse and minimizing material waste.

Available in carbon steel or stainless-steel construction, the Dump Clean station can also be configured with explosion-proof components for handling combustible dusts in hazardous areas. AFC offers product testing in its on-site laboratory to confirm compatibility with customer applications.

According to the company, the Dump Clean bag break station combines ergonomics, safety, and efficiency to help manufacturers improve air quality, protect workers, and streamline material transfer operations.
