Confined big bag emptying stations

This equipment enables big bags to be emptied in complete safety, without releasing powders into the environment. They are designed to guarantee maximum tightness when connecting, emptying and disconnecting big bags, and can be fitted with filtration systems for additional protection.

Pneumatic transfer systems

These systems enable powders to be transferred from one point to another safely and efficiently, using compressed air to move the products through leak-proof hoses. They reduce the risk of powder dispersion and cross-contamination, and minimize manual handling.

Confined mixers

These systems mix powders homogeneously and precisely, while ensuring total product containment. They are designed to reduce material losses and dust emissions, and can be adapted to the specific needs of each application.

Dosing and weighing units

These systems enable precise dosing and weighing of powders. These modules complete lines that can be integrated with other equipment in the Palamatic Process range to create appropriate solutions for powder processing.

Automated filling systems

This equipment enables containers (bags, drums, big bags, etc.) to be filled automatically and safely. They reduce the risk of human error, cross-contamination and the dispersion of powders in the environment.

Palamatic Process' confined systems offer comprehensive solutions tailored to the specific needs of industries handling hazardous or sensitive substances. These systems help to improve the safety, quality and efficiency of manufacturing processes.

The Sacktip® SE contained sack manual discharging station from Palamatic Process is an innovative solution designed for the safe handling of toxic or hazardous products.

Key features of the Sacktip® SE confined manual bag emptying station

Total containment

The sealed door with glove box protects operators when opening and emptying bags. Bags are introduced from the side through a sealed door. Once the bag has been emptied, it is evacuated from inside the glove box to a bag compactor or waste garbage can. In this way, the bag never leaves the system.

Integrated dust removal

All cabins are equipped with integrated dust collection outlets or filters to maintain a healthy working atmosphere.

Optimized ergonomics

The design allows easy bag handling with minimum operator effort.
