Packaging — sack intake
Bag dumping stations
with dust extraction.
Sacks will always be part of powder handling. The station makes the difference between contained intake and a dusty room.
In brief
A bag dumping station is a contained workstation for emptying sacks into a process: a screened opening with extraction drawing dust away from the operator, a hopper below, and often an integral compactor for empty bags. TLG builds stations in stainless with the take-away feeder integrated.
In detail
How it works.
The extraction face velocity across the opening is the real specification — enough draw to capture the dust plume a tipped sack releases, without lifting product out of the hopper. Screens stop stitching and foreign objects; compactors keep the empty-bag pile from becoming its own dust source.
- Containment
- Extraction hood sized to opening face velocity
- Screening
- Grate screening at the tip point
- Options
- Empty-bag compactor chute, glove access
- Take-away
- Flexible screw, vacuum or rotary valve integration
