Helios - Oktomat Typical Bulk Bag System Application
The Problem
When discharging a bulk bag, big bag, IBC, FIBC, Super Sack, octobox without a bulk bag discharger, e.g. using a standard suction lance to exhaust the material, the discharging process is often involuntarily interrupted and causes blatant problems, especially at the end of discharging an bulk bag.The operator has to supervise the suction lance manually over a longer period of time to ensure the bulk bag discharging is successful. This frequently involves 1hour or more in labour time for discharging a "complete" bulk bag (to go to the bulk bag/box, reset the suction lance, pull the bag inlet, restart the conveying, not counting the lost processing time). Nowadays hightech machines shouldn´t be supplied like that bulk bag discharge attempt.
The Solution
Instead of a suction lance, the OKTOMAT® bulk bag discharger system has a stainless steel suction head with a vibration device to remove bulk material and make it flow for a better vacuum discharge.
At the same time, a device lifts e.g. the Bulk bag inlet bag or big bag upwards and inwards, putting pressure on the material near the sides of the bulk bag, and causing it to flow. Depending on the lifting power, at a certain fill level the buk bag-foil will be lifted from the floor so that a completely discharge is possible.
