Tekfa has delivered big bag discharge stations for all situations. If you are considering acquiring a big bag discharger for your production, you should consider the following:

  • Should the big bag be lifted into the station using an integrated electric hoist or a forklift?
  • What are the dimensions of the big bag (HxWxD)?
  • What is the length of the lifting straps?
  • What are the length and diameter of the discharge spout?
  • How much does a filled big bag weigh?
  • Does the product tend to form lumps, and/or is there a need to "massage" the big bag during unloading?
  • Does the product require special handling (ATEX, food-grade, toxic, acid/base, etc.)?
  • Does the product generate dust, and is this an issue?
    • Do you have a central dust extraction system in place?
  • How should the product proceed in the production process (e.g., screw conveyor, rotary valve, lump breaker, magnetic detector, pneumatic transport, etc.)?
  • Which signals might be relevant for your factory control system (usually load cells and level sensors)?

Yes, big bag unloaders are similar to cars: there are many types and many needs. Tekfa has experience with it all.
