The Big Bag emptying station is adapted to flexible containers of various volumes and ensures an automatic and complete container discharge into the reception hopper, without product compaction. Depending on the Big Bag emptying version chosen (standard or auto-load), Big Bags are loaded either with a forklift or a crane or thanks to the integrated crane.
The Big Bag is installed onto the circular vibrating table, which is operated thanks to the product detection sensor installed on the reception hopper. The table vibrates only when there is a lack of product inside the hopper, this in order to prevent from product compaction. This way, the metering unit is always in charge as the reception hopper is constantly fed with product.
The arch breaker action ensures the product flow into the metering unit inlet and the full filling on the screw feeder. The metering conveyor can be rigid or flexible and elevate the product up to the discharge point.
