Whether transferring to intermediate containers or to process equipment on the floor below, the gravity chute is a simple method for connecting a vertically oriented process.
The Bulk Bag Unloading Station: SoliValve® with Gravity Chute configuration offers the following benefits:
• Cost effective means of transferring materials.
• Fast change-out between bulk bags.
• Contained discharge from bulk bag.
• Bulk Powder Transfer Rate : 300 kg/min
• Integrated Weighing and Dosing accuracy: +/-500 g
The SoliValve® 250 overcomes the traditional issues encountered with the 30 years old traditional cone valve. It allows fully automatic and contained handling of big bags, containers, and drums. The SoliValve® 250 doses the material vertically from the storage container, allowing re-closing of partially empty vessels and changing to another ingredient without residual material in the dosing hopper. The SoliValve® 250 can achieve containment levels of less than 100µg/m³ and can reach a dosing accuracy of +/- 20g.
Gravity Chute
The gravity chute is the simplest method for transferring powders to receiving vessels directly below the system.
