Hydraulic bulk bag conditioner adjusts for height

Hydraulic bulk bag conditioner adjusts for height
A new hydraulic bulk bag conditioner from Flexicon Europe handles bags ranging from short to extra tall using hydraulically-actuated rams that automatically adjust in height during conditioning cycles.

The Block-Buster is designed for use with bulk materials that cannot be loosened by pneumatically-actuated flow promotion devices integral to bulk bag dischargers.

The rams of the new design provide approximately 2m of vertical travel, roughly double the range of most conditioners employing scissor lifts to raise bags. At the same time, the fixed-height turntable used reduces the loading deck height by about half.

Users can programme single or multiple heights at which the rams condition the bag, the amount of pressure applied by the rams​ contoured end plates, the frequency of ram actuations and the number of 90° rotations of the turntable, loosening solidified materials throughout the bag for discharge through the bag spout.

The system controller can be mounted remotely or on the exterior of the safety cage, which incorporates full-height, safety-interlocked doors.

The unit measures 221cm high x 338cm wide x 198cm deep, requires only an electrical power connection for operation and is available constructed in stainless or carbon steel with durable industrial coatings.
