Bag emptying at 27.5 tonnes an hour for bulk handling

Project

A bulk goods company receives its product in bags and supplies end users from silo parks and silo wagons. A Depaq C1100 empties up to 1,100 bags (27.5 tonnes) an hour to fill them.

Bag emptying machine

The challenge

At these volumes, the machine needs to run continuously without waiting for the next pallet. Feeding pallets in by hand would slow it down, making automatic pallet infeed essential.

How it works

1. Pallets in automatically
Full pallets are placed on the infeed conveyor and moved through the machine on roller conveyors. The operator selects how many pallets to empty.

2. Bags emptied
The machine empties the bags and sends the product to the silos, communicating with the level sensors in each silo to detect when it is full.

3. Empty pallets stacked
Empty pallets are stacked automatically, ready for removal.

What it delivers

  • Up to 27.5 tonnes an hour, with no waiting for the next pallet
  • Connected to the silos via their level sensors
  • Less handling for operators, because empty pallets are stacked automatically
