Headroom no problem for discharger
Spiroflow provided the solution for a major manufacturer needing a bulk bag discharger that could overcome a distinct lack of headroom and batch silicon carbide into a mixing tank.
The whole system is 'wheeled' into place beside the tanker and the bulk bags are lifted into place as needed by forklift.
The system is dust-tight and can be used for sugar, flour and cement or any powder, granule or pellet transported by rail.
A variety of bulk bag dischargers is offered to handle a variety of poor-flowing products.
Aero-mechanical conveyors comprise a rope loop travelling through a tube with spaced discs secured to it, creating a moving air current and virtually eliminating material degradation, with no cyclone or filter needed to separate the product from the air. Request a free brochure from Spiroflow ...
