A bag emptying station is the ideal solution for emptying bags containing products in powders or granules in dust free environments. The bag emptying station is composed of a grid with a front shelf installed on a collection hopper supported by four feet and a hood with a protection door.

Bag emptying stations can be manufactured in different types of material at a high finishing degree with or without filter. In the version with integrated filter, cleaning of filtering elements occurs with counterflowing compressed air cleaning.

Use function

The operator places the bag upon the shelf and pushes it ahead on the grid. After this, the bag shall be cut vertically and is lifted from the two sides and shaken. While the bag content is discharged through the collection hopper or through the rotating discharger in any type of conveyor, the integrated dedusting filter with pneumatic cleaning, complete with suctioner, filters the powder generated during opening of the bag. The empty bag is thrown in the side conduit which can be connected to a bag compactor.

Bag emptying stations are manufactured so that internal product residue can be minimised and are suitable for infinite customisations thanks to its modular components, allowing to obtain various solution to satisfy a wide range of applications.
