Flexicon Europe has added a
hydraulic Bulk Bag Conditioner to
the recently expanded test facility at
its production plant in Kent. The new
equipment overcomes problems that
can occur when bagged bulk materials
– such as hygroscopic chemicals,
certain types of spice blends, heatsensitive
products and many more –
have compacted and solidified during
storage and shipment.

The Bulk Bag Conditioner
incorporates two hydraulic rams
with specially-contoured end plates
which gently press opposing sides of
bulk bags, reinstating a more freeflowing
material state. The device
can also be equipped with a
hydraulically-operated, variableheight
turntable, enabling in-frame
bag rotation.
