Big Bag unloading

The application is typically to transfer material from a big bag into a suction pipeline. We use a feed adaptor with a universal interface to connect to the big bag unloading system. The feed adaptor is designed to optimize the flow of the material in the pipeline with multiple valves for adjusting the airflow. This feature is essential to control the flow of material in order to avoid damage to the product and to reach the requested conveying capacity. Piab also offer different solutions and techniques to facilitate an easier material flow out of the Big Bag. This is however very dependent on the conditions of the material and has to be evaluated case by case.
