Loosens solidified materials
04 March 2013

Enabling bulk bag unloaders to
discharge more easily and fully
through bag spouts, Flexicon's Block-
Buster Bulk Bag Conditioner is
designed to loosen material that has
solidified during storage or ship -
ment. The new conditioner is suitable
for use with bulk bags containing
hygroscopic chemicals, certain spice
blends, heat-sensitive products, and
other materials prone to solidifying to
the point at which pneumaticallyactuated
flow promotion accessories
integral to bulk bag dischargers may
become inefficient.
The unit incorporates a canti - levered I-beam with motorised hoist and trolley, allowing the loading and unloading of bulk bags without the use of a forklift. After lowering a bag into the conditioner frame, two hydraulic rams fitted with contoured plates press opposing sides of the bulk bag to loosen the material.
