We believe in providing complete and integrated solutions for specific powder handling applications. Many years of co-operation with large volume users of Bulk Bags have resulted in the development of a comprehensive and ever expanding range of dischargers and transfer equipment to suit your product and bag type. The advantages of handling solids and ingredients in Bulk Bags are obvious:The advantages of working with Spiroflow are just as clear: ?reduced labour ?better dust control ?increased safety?cleaner working environment?increased productivity ?no packaging waste?25 years of experience?dedicated...

1. The loops of the bagare attached to a bag lifting frame and the linerclamped. > 3. Integral chute has anaccess door for easy bag untying. Pinch bars ensure the bag remains tightly closed until the emptying process starts. 2. The bag is lifted by forklift truck on to the robust Bulk Bag support frame. Spring loaded arms on the Bulk Bag supportframe gradually raise andtension the bag during emptying. This ensures total emptying of the bag and prevents the bag spout or liner sagging or fouling the take-off conveyor. 5. Integral conveyortransfers bag contentsdirect to your process. 4. Pneumaticallyoperated...

Our Loss-in-Weight Bulk Bag Dischargerallows you total control over the amount of product you wish to dispense from the bag. This can be varied for individually selected batch amounts, or fully interfaced with your plant process control for continuous batch production. > The Loss-in-Weight Bulk Bag Discharger T3 incorporates all the proven features of the Universal model, but with the bag support dish mounted on load cells. This enables highly accurate weighing of product as it is discharged from the bag. If necessary, the integral transfer conveyor can also be suspended from the weigh frame...

Stainless steel Model T1with optional bag spout clamp. Customised Model T1 mounted on a wheeled framethat can also be moved by a forklift truck. > 1. The T4 consists of arobust frame and discharge dish with a knife to pierce the base of the bag. Adouble membrane withdust extraction facility ensures total containment of dust emitted during bag piercing operation. 2. The double membraneensures that the bag sits deep within the dish and no dust escapes during discharge. > 3. The bag is ruptured bythe knife and product flows from the discharge dish into the integral transfer conveyor. >

1. No bag in place. 2. Loading bag into top frame. > 3. Lifting top section from floor. 4. Returning top section. > 5. Bag loadedready todischarge. The discharger base unithas a dust-tight docking seal on to which the top frame and bag is placed.A spout clamp allows the bag to be untied withoutdust emission or spillage, via an access door. >

3. Traversing bag into position. 4. Bag loaded ready to discharge. An optional low height hoist is available where headroom is restricted. The above low height unit has an overall height of under 3.5m, discharging a 900mm bulk bag. >

1. Bag is placed on discharger byhoist or forklift truck. 2. Spout pulled through thedischarge dish (pinch bars open). > 4. Bag Massagers at each cornerassist flow and ensure total emptying. 3. Pneumatic stretching deviceactuated to provide smooth path for product through spout and into downstream vessel, valve or conveyor. >

1. Bag Massagers > Bag massagers are used to aidthe consistent flow of difficult materials from a Bulk Bag and are located either in the base of the support dish, at the corners or on the side frame. They are actuated by pneumatic cylinders and their position and frequency of actuation is fully adjustable. They are particularly effective where storage of bags has created a compaction problem, when traditional (and noisy!) vibration may cause further compaction and hinder discharge. Side massagers.Corner massagers.Base massagers. 2. Yoke Type Spout Closure Bars (patented) 3. Hygienic Liner Clamp...

This useful device, often usedwith a Type 5 Low Loader, can also be supplied as a storage frame for Bulk Bags. If located on a mezzanine, it can provide direct loading into packaging or process machine hoppers. Bulk Bags are often supplied with long inner liners which require clamping at the top to prevent fouling the take-off conveyor. > Liners can be removed from the bag after discharge and contained without emission of dust with use of this powered retraction device and compaction facility. A bag folding table provides a practical solution to bag disposal problems and allows extraction of...
