Bulk material bag opener

General information
The bag opening silo is a compact, industrial solution for efficient emptying of small and big bags into a controlled material handling stream. Big bags can be unloaded safely using a forklift or similar lifting equipment, enabling clean, dust-controlled transfer to downstream equipment.

Application and operation
This system is an effective alternative where bulk delivery by tanker is not feasible. It allows continuous use of bagged materials (cement, lime and similar powders) for dosing and intermediate storage while protecting the product from moisture and contamination. The silo connects easily to mobile or stationary mixers and can be used as a temporary or permanent installation. Optional load cells are available for precise weighing. Discharge capacity: 15 m3/h.

Advantages

• Ergonomic handling: working height and access points are designed for safe manual bag handling and reduced operator strain.
• Consistent material flow: internal geometry prevents bridging and material build-up for uninterrupted discharge.
• Low maintenance: robust structural design minimizes service intervals and downtime.
• Easy integration: compatible with batching plants and mobile mixing units as an effective buffer and feed device.
• Durable construction: built from structural steel for long-term, continuous operation.

FAQ (key points)

• Suitable materials: cement, lime, fly ash, mineral fillers, pigments and similar dry powdered materials.
• Weighing system: optional integrated load cells available for weight-based dosing.
• Bag emptying: manual; big bags handled with forklift or equivalent lifting gear.
• Discharge control: can be automated and integrated with plant control systems.
• Foundation: typically no special foundation required; install on a flat, stable surface.
