Flexicon: Bulk-Out bulk Bag Discharging Station

Preventing cross-contamination during material changeovers, the new Bulk-Out bulk bag discharging station includes a shuttle system that allows a used hopper to be exchanged for a clean, dry one in less than a minute—eliminating downtime associated with cleaning. Ideal for applications involving food allergens, pigments, flavorings and other contamination-sensitive materials, each hopper is equipped with a stainless steel rotary valve that meters material into process equipment positioned below the mezzanine. Once empty, a hopper can be rolled within two C-channels to either side of the central filling position for offline sanitizing. Integral support rails on the rotary valve allow the rotor assembly to separate from the valve body for cleaning of all material contact surfaces, and to close securely in seconds without tools.
