Bulk Bag Unloader features 4-stage material conditioning.
Press Release Summary:
Using 4-stage material conditioning sequence, Automated Bulk Bag Unloader prepares extremely agglomerated material for supply to downstream liquification process. First conditioning stage uses 2 hydraulic de-blocking rams that deliver 28,000 lb of direct material force each. Next, dual hydraulic massage paddles reduce material to chunk sizes. Bag spout valve, with 1,000 lb of material break-up force, reduces material for supply to final stage where crumbler breaks material into ¼ in. pieces.

Bulk Bag Unloader with 4-stage, Integrated Material Conditioning Prepares Rock-like, Agglomerated Bulk Material for Downstream Liquification Process
HOLLAND, Michigan - National Bulk Equipment, Inc. (NBE). This automated bulk bag unloader system uses a fully integrated, 4-stage material conditioning sequence to prepare an extremely agglomerated, rock-like material for supply to a downstream liquification process. The dual, opposing bag hoist design enables high-volume input of material to the first conditioning stage where two, hydraulic de-blocking rams each deliver 28,000 pounds of direct material force. Next, dual hydraulic massage paddles, each with 2,200 pounds of paddle pressure, further reduce material to chunk sizes. A bag spout valve, with 1,000 pounds of material break-up force, and capable of breaking up a static column of material, then reduces the material for supply to the final stage where a high-capacity, size reduction crumbler breaks material into ¼-inch pieces for conveying downstream.
NBE integrated automation engineering centralized communication with legacy downstream blending operations to signal upstream material input sequences when supply requirements dictated. The heavy-duty, NBE performance proven construction eliminated the previous, potentially dangerous manual material conditioning measures, improving operator safety and increasing total process throughput.
