Bulk bag unloader with modular components

Tailoring the level of dust containment to the application, the Volkmann BBU2 contained bulk bag unloader offers dust-free material flow from the bag to the vacuum conveyor and downstream processes. It includes a 2-ton capacity, a low-profile pick-up and a dust-tight connector to the feed hopper. Available in forklift and hoist versions, the unloader can be customized with frame extension sets and electric hoists with passive or active traverse mechanisms. Other options include massaging paddles with pneumatic actuators, material agitators and delumpers, a manual or pneumatic covering for the material discharge module, a filter-based dust collector on the discharge hopper and an interface for Volkmann conveying systems.
