BULK BAG DISCHARGERS for every application Bulk Bags have been around for over 25 years and Spiroflow has been there since the beginning. Whether you have been using Bulk Bags for years or are thinking about converting from sacks, rigid containers or silos, then safe, efficient and dust free handling methods are essential to gain maximum benefit. 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...

DISCHARGING BY VOLUME Universal Model (T2) Our Universal T2 provides controllable discharge by volume. Flow from the Bulk Bag is easily controlled by means of an integral Spiroflow conveyor directly coupled to the base of the discharger. 1. The loops of the bag are attached to a bag lifting frame and the liner clamped. This type of conveyor can be used to accurately meter Bulk Bag contents to your process vessel in an enclosed and controlled manner. Our powder handling expertise ensures a transfer method best suited to your product, whether it is by aero mechanical conveyor, flexible or rigid...

DISCHARGING BY WEIGHT Loss-in-Weight Model (T3) Our Loss-in-Weight Bulk Bag Discharger allows 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...

DISCHARGING WITH HEIGHT RESTRICTION Low Loader Model (T5) Spiroflow’s T5 Low Loading Discharger empties Bulk Bags and sacks in process areas where restricted headroom causes problems in handling bags or where only a low lift forklift truck is available. The discharger is coupled directly to a flexible spiral or other suitable conveyor which meters ingredients from the bag either volumetrically or by weight. Ingredients may then be fed direct to either mixing or other process equipment to provide a fully automatic ingredients unloading, proportioning and transfer system. The height of the access...

DISCHARGING IF NO FORKLIFT TRUCK IS AVAILABLE Integral Hoist Model (T6) Our T6 Bulk Bag Discharger is a fully selfcontained unloading station for dust-free and controllable Bulk Bag emptying. It has an integral “I” beam and hoist for loading bags into the discharger and is directly connected to an enclosed conveyor for direct transfer of product to process machinery. Bulk Bags may be brought to the discharger by pallet truck and stored ready for lifting without the need for forklift truck assistance. Full dust control features are incorporated. Features • Space saving integral bag hoist with...

SIMPLE SUPPORT FRAME Model (T1) We offer T1 Simple Support Frame Bulk Bag Dischargers for those applications where: 1. The product to be discharged is completely free flowing, thus requiring no flow aids. 2. The product is dust free and thus requires no containment. 3. Uncontrolled 'choke feeding' from bulk bags is acceptable, thus no other regulation of the flow is required once the neck ties are released. 4. There is the continuous presence of an operator. Customised Model T1 mounted on a wheeled frame that can also be moved by a forklift truck. Our Simple Bulk Bag Discharger Support Frames...

DISCHARGING RIGID IBC’s, OCTABINS, SACKS & BULK BAGS Multi-discharger Model (T7) Our T7 is a versatile emptying system which allows processors to discharge materials from bulk bags, rigid bins, octabins or sacks. The Multi-discharger employs a controllable discharger and a subframe. A Bulk Bag or rigid container is placed on the subframe which has fork channels to allow loading onto the discharger. The discharger has an integral hopper and flexible spiral conveyor, which feeds the contents from the bag either volumetrically or by weight to process or packaging machinery. The discharger also has...

FOR THE MOST HYGIENIC OF APPLICATIONS Pharmaceutical Dischargers (T10/T11) At Spiroflow, we specialise in 'high containment' bulk bag filling and bulk bag discharge systems, and offer a range of Bulk Bag (FIBC) Dischargers specifically for use in dairy and pharmaceutical applications. The worldwide acceptance of bulk bags has brought big changes to bulk materials handling - not least in the pharmaceutical industry where they are replacing the use of rigid IBC's. Bulk bags, and equally important, their filling and discharge systems have made strident advances in hygiene and containment - in fact...

2. Metering Feeders Bag massagers are used to aid the 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. 3. Spout Stretcher (patented) Using our own flexible screw conveyor technology, or proprietary equipment, we are able...

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT 6. Mobile Trolley 7. Lifting Frame & Liner Clamp This useful device, often used with 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. 9. Static Protection A bag folding table provides a practical solution to bag disposal problems and allows extraction of residual product from the bulk bag. 10. No Tools Support Arm Adjustment...
