Bulk bag discharger for explosive and corrosive environments

The Flexicon BFC series BULK-OUT bulk bag discharging system features a pneumatically powered hoist and trolley to raise and position each bag inside the discharger frame. A clamp ring forms a dust-tight seal between the clean side of the bag spout and the clean side of the equipment, while a telescoping tube maintains constant downward tension on the bag as it empties and elongates. Built for use in explosive environments, the discharger has an all-stainless steel construction that allows washdowns with caustic cleaning solutions. The unit is available with a hopper and pneumatically driven flexible screw conveyor, a tubular cable conveyor or a rotary airlock valve to feed material into a pneumatic conveyor line.
