Big bag emptying station with unlacing cabinet - Standard big bag unloading equipment
Rate: 10 to 30 big bags/h.
Capacity: 2 tons/big bag
The EF0 big bag unloading station is a standard model that has been designed to ergonomically empty big bags and facilitate their safe handling. The structure is adjustable to easily adapt to different bulk bag sizes and loading methods.
The EF0 big bag emptying equipment offers 3 types of loading models: hoist, forklift, and low structure.
Palamatic Process has developed big bag unloading stations to meet the needs of various industries feeding their bulk material into their production process via FIBC packages.
As standard, Palamatic Process offers two sizes to accommodate common width dimensions of big bags: 1,250 mm and 1,500 mm. This station also allows the unloading of big bags and the use of an electric hoist, forklift or low structure design for spaces with restrictive clearances.
![Description big bag discharge docking system](https://www.palamaticprocess.com/sites/default/files/description-big-bag-discharge-docking-system_5.png)
A big bag handling cross is provided by Palamatic Process to allow for the safe handling and loading of the big bags.
Equipment advantages
- Anti-overflow tube for containment of the material flow during unloading.
- Safety screen to prevent foreign objects entering downstream process.
- Vibration tray to facilitate material flow.
- Safety baffle to secure the loops of the bulk bag for safe handling.
