25kg Bag Handling Station with Dense Phase Conveyor for Food Powders
Filquip delivered and commissioned a new 25kg Bag Break Station paired with a Dense Phase Conveyor for a client, streamlining the transfer of milk powder, cocoa powder, sugar, coconut powder, and various other food ingredients into their site mixer.
Previously, the process required three staff members operating from a mobile ladder platform to manually load 25kg bags into the mixer. The new system enhances efficiency by enabling a single operator to handle the loading process while eliminating the need for a ladder, improving workplace safety.
The innovative Filquip system design integrates the bag break station’s dust extractor to also serve the bag packing head through a pipework and valve system, offering a cost-effective solution by eliminating the need for a separate dust extraction unit within the room for the packing process.
Key equipment supplied includes:
- WAMGroup SS304 RSM Manual Bag Break Station, ATEX-compliant with IECEX pulsing coils, 1.1kW IECEX fanset for integrated dust control, and a Zone 20 internal rating.
- Air-Tec Systems BARTOne 50 Dense Phase Conveyor in SS304, upgraded with IECEX Zone 20 internal instrumentation.
- OLI Vibrators OT16 Pneumatic Vibrator and VBSMI Mini Blue Food-Grade, Metal-Detectable Aerators to enhance flow in the RSM hopper.
- Stainless steel long-radius tube bends for durability and performance.
This solution showcases Filquip’s commitment to efficiency, safety, and cost-saving innovation!
