Overview

Dec Group specializes in powder handling solutions, focusing on big bag discharging systems designed for optimal handling of bridging and sticky powders. Their modular stations are adaptable to various product characteristics and containment requirements.

Modular Design and Components

• Modular Stations: Allow customization with different discharge devices and lump breakers based on product flow and characteristics.
• Load Cells: Enable precise dosing into receptacles.
• Massage Units: Pneumatically operated bottom and/or side units to improve flow and break up product bridges, especially for poor flowing materials.
• Weighing Units: Provide accurate product weighing during discharge.
• Suction Hoppers: Available in various sizes, adaptable to product properties, with optional fluidization cones and lump breakers.
• Discharge Stretching Device: Lowers the connection system to ensure a tight big bag sleeve for free product discharge.

Docking and Containment Systems

• DCS Docking System: Provides primary and secondary containment for high containment requirements.
• UniDock System: Patent-pending system that simplifies big bag discharging while ensuring high containment (OEB 4), operational efficiency, and reliability.
• Connection System: Features a double ring and lever mechanism for dust-free connection and emptying (OEB 1-2). Interchangeable inner tubes offer flexibility for different big bags.

Structural and Handling Features

• Lifting Frame: Enables quick and safe loading of big bags using hoists or forklifts. Optional clamping device for loose liners and special versions for low height requirements.
• Module Frame: Suitable for forklift or chain hoist loading, equipped with discharge supports tailored to product characteristics. Compact design allows use as a mobile unit.
• Material Options: Standard and module frames are available in mild steel and stainless steel.

Global Presence

Dec Group operates internationally with offices and subsidiaries in Switzerland, Germany, Ireland, UK, India, Poland, USA, and China, providing local support and sales.

Critical Information and Best Practices

• Selection of discharge devices and docking systems should be based on product flow properties and containment needs.
• Use of massage units and lump breakers is recommended for poor flowing or bridging powders to ensure continuous discharge.
• Load cells and weighing units are essential for accurate dosing and process control.
• Containment systems like DCS and UniDock are critical for handling potent or hazardous powders, ensuring operator safety and environmental protection.
• Modular and flexible connection systems facilitate dust-free operation and adaptability to different bag types.
• Structural frames must be chosen considering loading methods and space constraints, with options for mobility and material compatibility.
