Breather Bag Dust Socks
Filquip is a supplier of breather bag dust socks for hoppers and silos. Filquip can also provide a base ring upstand with cage to mount the breather sock onto your hopper or silo with a threaded, Tri-Clover, Flanged or Clamped connection type.
25kg Bag Handling Station with Dense Phase Conveyor
Filquip recently 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!
Magbase Magnetic Vibrator
The MagBase Heavy Duty magnetic vibrator mounting bracket is available from Filquip. The MagBase HD is made from Stainless Steel 304 and uses strong rare earth magnets to hold the vibrator against the steel formwork, hopper walls, silos or bins requiring vibrating.
The MagBase handle allows easy movement of vibrators around the steel structure being vibrated and also provides protection for the air fittings on the vibrator from being accidentally damaged.
The Oli range of Pneumatic vibrators are available for direct mounting to the MagBase includes the OR100, OT36S, OT36, OT30, S36 or S30.
Filquip has produced the following video to show the ease of attaching the magbase vibrator to a silo or hopper and its operation.

Advantages of Dense Phase Conveying over Lean Phase Conveying
Filquip Pty Ltd Australia : March 2025
Advantages of Dense Phase Conveying over Lean Phase Conveying
It’s been just over five years since Filquip supplied and commissioned a Stainless Steel 304 Air-Tec Systems 1500L 12TPA500 Dense Phase Conveyor for transporting Animal Feed Minerals, complete with a Dense Phase Diverter Valve and WAM Dust Collectors. During a recent site visit, we checked the Control Panel PLC to see how the system has performed over the past half-decade.
In five years, the unit has completed 44,630 cycles, moving approximately 1,150 kg per cycle. That’s an impressive 51.3 million kg of product conveyed—with only one inlet valve, one diverter valve seal, and two sets of dust collector filters replaced as part of routine maintenance.
When comparing lean phase and dense phase conveying, the higher upfront cost of a dense phase system often stands out. However, the long-term benefits such as minimal maintenance, reduced downtime, and lower energy costs per kg of product conveyed almost always deliver substantial savings over time. In terms of operational lifecycle cost, dense phase conveying consistently proves to be the smarter investment.
