Dump Stations Reduce Manual Handling, Promote Worker Safety

Volkmann bag dump stations automatically capture bulk materials discharged from bags and stage the powders, granules, tablets, and/or pellets for transfer into storage or directly into a production process. Installed with a companion pneumatic vacuum conveying system, the stations empty into mixers, vessels, and other equipment. Featuring a standard model bag station and dump station, the modular stations can be configured to meet FDA requirements for sanitary processing or to ATEX requirements for explosive atmospheres, as well as for non-regulated environments. They include stainless-steel construction and can be fitted with HEPA filtration, an integrated glove box, dust hood, empty bag compactor, and a range of other equipment.
