Big Bag Discharge with (Dilute Phase) Pneumatic Conveying
The combination of big bag emptying and pneumatic conveying system is one of the best combinations for handling bulk materials, used in various industries.
Big Bag Discharge Station
Elit Process’s big bag discharge stations are designed for dust-free unloading of bulk materials from various types of big bags. The devices enable various fine and granular materials to be discharge from big bags without product loss and contamination. Big Bag discharge stations are one of the bulk material handling solutions offered by Elit Process for efficient and dust-free discharge of powders from big bags.
Working Principle:
The BigBag sack is hung on the frame of the discharge station. The sacks are usually placed into the station using a crane or forklift. During discharge, the materials inside the sacks are discharged by gravity or mechanical vibrations. Dust control systems prevent dust from spreading into the environment during this process. The station is cleaned after the unloading process is completed. EP’s big bag discharge systems are designed to be accessible for easy cleaning and maintenance.
Dilute Phase Conveying System:
In dilute phase conveying, a low-pressure compressor is used to force the material through the pipe as if it were floating in air, without the particles collecting at the bottom of the pipe. Dilute phase conveying is ideal for conveying large amounts of material in a short time because the material can be conveyed at high speeds.
Working Principle:
While the pneumatic conveying line is pressurized with air produced by the blower, the raw material is poured into the conveying line in a controlled manner using air locks, also known as rotary feeders. Since the conveying air is much denser than the raw material, the raw material is transported at high speed from the filling point to the target point. The raw material is transported at low density so that it floats in the air in the conveying line.
