Flexicon launch new mobile Bag Dump Station

A new mobile Bag Dump Station with flexible screw conveyor and bag compactor allows bulk material transfer from handheld sacks, pails and boxes into elevated process equipment and storage vessels throughout the plant.

Mounted on a mobile frame with locking castors and fold-down step, the dust-free system features a bag disposal chute through the sidewall of the hopper hood, allowing the operator to pass empty bags directly into the bag compactor. Dust generated is drawn away from the operator onto the system’s two cartridge filters.

Automatic reverse-pulse air nozzles release short blasts of compressed air inside the filters at timed intervals causing dust build-up on the outer surfaces to fall into the hopper, conserving usable product. Filters are readily accessed by removing the interior baffle, and replaced using quick-disconnect fittings.

The hopper discharges into an enclosed flexible screw conveyor, capable of moving free- and non-free-flowing bulk materials from large pellets to sub-micron powders, including products that pack, smear, break apart or separate, with no separation of blended products.

Ready to plug-in-and-run, the mobile system is equipped with a IP-66 control panel and user-friendly HMI interface, allowing the operator to vary operation of the dust collection system and conveyor to serve varied processes, and then roll the system to a cleaning station or storage area between uses.
