Bulk Bag Discharger and Filler

General

The use of Bulk Bags (or Big Bags / FIBC's as they are often referred to) has exploded in recent years as more and more companies with bulk material handling needs have sought to take advantage of the savings they can potentially offer.

We manufacture a number of Bulk Bag Discharger configurations, with a wide range of options for efficient Big Bag emptying using an integral conveying or elevating system - ideal for charging storage silos, feeding filling machines, mixers, dosers, reactors and for use in many other processing and bulk solids handling applications.

Guttridge Bulk Bag Discharge Systems are built around our unique Multiflo rigid screw conveyors and Easyflo rigid screw elevators, providing the ultimate in rugged, durable design with an almost zero cost spares requirement, as well as genuine easy cleandown facilities. Our steeply inclined screw elevator options also result in a small footprint - ideal for confined spaces.

Specification

The Bulk Bag Discharger can work as a stand-alone piece of equipment, or can be combined with one of our discharge applications. The most popular are the Sieveflo, Multiflo and Easyflo, but the Bulk Bag can also be combined with a Flexible Screw Conveyor and Bulkflo dependent upon customer requirements.

Bulk Bag Discharger with Multiflo

This model is based around our Multiflo tubular screw conveyor system and is available in a number of configurations - extended hopper, multiple screw, horizontal discharge, agitators etc, depending on the particular material characteristics and site requirements.

Bulk Bag Discharger with Easyflo and Sieveflo

This model is based around our Easyflo and Sieveflo screw elevators, it provides the ultimate in flexibility as the Easyflo/Sieveflo hopper loader can be used separately for discharging 25kg bags, boxes or drums. The Sieveflo option provides a useful integral check sieve to catch foreign objects before they enter the main system. A number of configurations are available, depending on the particular material characteristics and site requirements.

Bulk Bag Discharger with Flexible Screw Conveyor

This model is based around our range of Flexible screw conveyor systems and is available in a number of configurations - extended hopper, and agitators etc, depending on the particular material characteristics and site requirements.

Product Suitability

Typical applications include feeding intermediate storage silos, filling machines, mixers, dosers, reactors and for general powder processing and packaging applications. Our unique Easyflo screw elevator can also be used in a standalone mode when smaller sacks, drums or boxes need to be discharged - providing the ultimate in flexibility. Guttridge Bulk Bag Systems are in operation in many different industry sectors and countries world wide handling a huge variety of bulk materials.



Machine Range & Capacities

Typical throughput capacity is in the region of 3.5m³/hr but is very dependant on material characteristics. Discharge height is a limiting factor with an overall maximum of 5 metres.

Discharge conveyor / elevator systems are available in 75mm, 100mm, 125mm and 150mm sizes.

Hopper mounted agitators and multiple screw dischargers are available for materials with poor flow characteristics.
