The BFF Series dischargers (photo) have a bag-lifting frame for forklift loading and unloading of bulk bags, and the BFC Series dischargers have a cantilevered I-beam, electric hoist and trolley for loading and unloading of bulk bags without the use of a forklift. Other bulk-bag unloader configurations include split frames for forklift loading of bags in low headroom areas, half frames for suspending bags during discharge using a forklift, continuous loss-of-weight dischargers for uninterrupted feeding directly from bulk bags, and other designs satisfying highly specialized requirements.
