A new weigh batching system from FLEXICON®, discharges material from bulk bags, de-lumps the product, and feeds it gravimetrically into rigid bins.
The bulk-bag-to-hopper interface consists of a manual Spout-Lock® clamp ring at the top of a pneumatically-actuated Tele-Tube® telescoping tube, allowing an operator to make a high-integrity, sealed connection between the clean side of the bag spout and the clean side of the hopper. The Tele-Tube® also enables automatic elongation of the bag as it empties to promote flow and evacuation. Above the connection point is the Power-Cincher® - a pneumatically-actuated flow control valve that cinches the bag spout concentrically, allowing retying of partially empty bags with no product loss or fine dusting.
The unloader is also equipped with Flow-Flexer™ bag activators that raise and lower opposite bottom edges of the bag at timed intervals, loosening compacted materials and promoting material flow into the bag discharge spout.
The surge hopper discharges into a low-profile, de-lumping device with dual rotors and three-point heads that break-up agglomerates that have formed in the bag. On-size material is then discharged into a gravimetric feeder that is connected via PLC to a scale on the factory floor, enabling accurate batch weights to be loaded into rigid totes placed on the scale.
All material contact surfaces of the unloader, de-lumping device and gravimetric feeder are of stainless steel finished to sanitary standards.
