OverviewThe M348 Big Bag Unloading Station is a universal workstation designed to unload different types of big bags, with or without spout. It enables dust-free, safe operation through integrated cartridge filters and an extraction fan that protect operators from product exposure. Reverse-jet filter cleaning recovers material from the filter into the storage/discharge hopper.
Alternative models and configurations- M358: modular and expandable unloading system for spouted big bags, equipped with a clamp valve to avoid direct operator contact before bag opening.
- M506, M506-Combo and M506-automatic: stations for manual or automated unloading of 25/40 kg bags.
- M506-Combo: allows unloading via a top tensioning valve.
- M506-automatic: belt, automated bag-breaker and screen; unloading capacity up to 400 bags/h.
- Versions with extended legs for installation of rotary valves, mobile containers or pneumatic conveyors; mobile/wheeled versions available.
Filtration, cleaning and suction options- Integrated cartridge filters with local extraction or separate suction systems.
- Possible connection to a centralised suction system.
- Reverse-jet cleaning to recover product from the filter into the hopper.
Applications- Chemical industry
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Food industry
Customization and certificationsStations can be customised in AISI (stainless) or carbon steel. Available options include ATEX versions, food-grade versions (GMP & FDA) and high-containment pharmaceutical versions (OEB).
