Bulk-bag discharge unit has low headroom requirements
Material Transfer
This patented system (photo) is custom designed for the safe discharge of product into the user’s process. It features several stainless=steel features, including the Flo-Lock discharge spout-closure system, which is said to quickly halt material flow and allow for partial-bag discharge. The Seal-Master bag-spout access chamber is designed for easy operator access, and the Sure-Seal bag spout-clamping system is designed to minimize dust escape. The system also includes the Flo-Master bag-massaging system to enhance powder flow, and pneumatic piping with rigid 304 stainless-steel air lines. — Material Transfer, Allegan, Mich.
