Bags get educated

A new Bulk Bag Weigh Batch Eductor System from Flexicon (Europe) loosens bulk solid material that has solidified during storage and shipment, discharges the material by weight and blends it into a liquid stream.

The skid-mounted system incorporates two Bulk Bag Unloading Frames, each with an integral Bulk Bag Conditioner comprised of a hydraulic pump and two rams with contoured end plates that press opposing sides of bulk bags. The unloaders' cantilevered hoists and motorised trolleys allow conditioning of bulk bags at various heights, as well as loading and unloading of bags without the need for a forklift. Safety interlocks prevent operation of the conditioner when the unloaders' doors are open.
