Description
BIG BAGS SILO
Big bag emptying systems (bulk bags or FIBC bags) are used to discharge powdered or granular materials in order to directly feed dosing and mixing systems directly or to transfer material into vertical silos and horizontal silos via bag filling. A SILO SBB big bag emptying station allows (a) to easily empty the contents of several 25 kg bags and big bags (bulk bag or FIBC bag) safely and without waste, (b) to store the extracted material inside the silo, protecting it from humidity, and (c) to use the stored product at any time, without interruption, and with a constant flow of material. This allows the separation and optimization of the “unloading of big bags” and “material utilization” phases, resulting in considerable savings in working time.
BIG BAG EMPTYING PHASE
Using a forklift, hoist, or other lifting equipment, the big bag (bulk bag or FIBC bag) is positioned on the telescopic support frame, which can be adjusted in height to fit different bag sizes.
A circular sealing gasket on the roof facilitates bag insertion and prevents dust dispersion into the atmosphere.
In the case of harmful products or very fine powders, an optional filter and suction system can be installed.
For “valve” or “neck-tied” big bags, manual opening is quick and easy, while for disposable bags, an internal blade system inside the silo allows the bag to be opened by gravity, eliminating any operator risk.
ELECTRONIC AND TIMED DOSING
The SBB emptying silo is available with storage capacities of 2, 3, 4, 5, or 7 m³, and all models are mobile machines that can be moved using a forklift. Furthermore, like the EUROSILO horizontal silos and the SILMATIC vertical silos, the SILO SBB big bag emptying system is also available in two versions: “electronic dosing“, with a gravimetric electronic weighing system using load cells with decreasing weight, and “timed dosing“, equipped with an adjustable timer extraction system. However, the biggest advantage of the SILO SBB big bag unloader remains the possibility of unloading and storing from 3 to 7 big bags at the same time and then being able to work for a long time, without interruptions and with a constant flow of material.
