In bulk solids handling, compacted materials within Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs) can significantly disrupt production lines. Jansen&Heuning’s Fully Automatic Bigbag Crusher provides a robust and intelligent solution, conditioning hardened contents swiftly, safely, and hands-free at the touch of a button.
Automated Crushing for Maximum Efficiency
Engineered for demanding industrial applications, this bigbag crusher employs hydraulic force and programmable motion to compress FIBCs from multiple sides and heights. A rotating scissor lift table and two hydraulic pressing arms work in unison to break down compacted materials into a flowable form.
Operators position the bigbag on the lifting table using a forklift. After selecting a pre-set or custom program via the integrated HMI touchscreen, the crushing cycle commences. The bigbag undergoes compression in up to 12 programmable steps, with the table rotating 90° to ensure thorough conditioning from all sides.
Programmable Precision
Each crushing program can be customized to accommodate specific material characteristics. Users can adjust:
- Pressing force
- Height between compression steps
- Rotation behavior of the turntable
This flexibility ensures optimal performance across a diverse range of materials, from hygroscopic powders to recycled feedstock.
Safety and Integration
Delivered fully assembled and tested, the machine features built-in operator protection via a light curtain. For enhanced safety, optional fencing is available to restrict access during operation.
The fully automatic crusher can be seamlessly integrated into existing unloading lines, particularly when combined with Jansen&Heuning’s bigbag filling and unloading stations. An elevated version is also available for larger FIBCs (up to 2.2 meters high), alongside semi-automatic and mobile models for more flexible setups.
Whether for food, chemicals, recycling, or bulk materials processing, the Fully Automatic Bigbag Crusher delivers unparalleled automation, safety, and adaptability. By minimizing manual handling and effectively conditioning bigbags, it ensures consistent material flow and increased productivity — all with a single push of a button.
