Bulk Bag Unloaders for Dust-Free Discharging
Bulk Bag Unloader with Massage-It Agitation Paddles
Dust-Free Bulk Bag Unloading Technology
This Super Sack Unloading system boasts the Contain-It™ Chamber. This is a large, User-Friendly Access Chamber that allows the operator to easily tie, retie, and handle FIBC Bulk Bags and Super Sacks in an enclosed, dust-tight chamber. No more spilling excess material on your plant floor when shaking or handling the bag. 3Sigma offers three Main Models (Hoist and Trolley Model, Short Frame Model, and Fork-Truck Loaded Model) with two types of bulk bag agitation: Paddle Agitation (Massage-It™) and Vertical Vibration (Shape-It™). Each 3Sigma Bulk Bag Discharge Station is truly Industrial Grade. Each unit is designed based upon your products, your process, and your needs. We offer two styles of bulk bag agitation – Paddle Agitation (Massage-It™) and Vertical Vibration (Shape-It™). With your product we have recommended our Massage-It™ agitation system to properly discharge your product. If you prefer our Shape-It™ system, please advise and we can requote. In addition, please keep in mind that we offer six levels of dust control – choose the level that is right for you.

Overview
Bulk bag dischargers are typically implemented when capacity requirements dictate a change from 50 lb. bulk bags to save labor costs and to minimize dust. The most crucial aspect in providing you with a successful bulk bag unloader is understanding the bulk bag(s) to be used, your goals and concerns. Many suppliers overlook the actual bulk bag and dive into offering you their standard bulk bag unloader – the “one size fits all” mentality. Bulk Bag items of concern include: Dimensions; Lined or Unlined; Loose Liner, Tabbed Liner or Glued Liner Flat Bottom or Cone Bottom; Single Trip or Multi-Trip; Bulk Bag Outlet Spout Dimensions; Bulk Bag coatings, etc. We can also provide supplementary equipment such as screw conveyors, dust collectors, rotary valves, aeromechanical conveyors, and more.

A Shape-It™ Bulk Bag Unloader was provided to properly discharge PVA powder. Material is unloaded into a GeoMate™ Vibratory Feeder, then discharges into a bag dump hopper, which feeds directly into an Aeromechanical Conveyor.
Proper Bag Discharging
Proper bag agitation is crucial in discharging your product. 3Sigma offers three methods of agitation, recommending the proper bag agitation system for your products, all with a guarantee of product discharge.
MASSAGE-IT™ AGITATION SYSTEM
Dual agitators are used with the most difficult to discharge products. Heavy duty pipe agitators are used to ensure product discharge, with Massage-It agitators pivoting a full 90 degrees. The pneumatically operated agitators provide plenty of force to loosen the material in the super sacks.

SHAPE-IT™ DISCHARGING SYSTEM
The compacted bulk bag is set into the bag shaping platform. Vertical Vibration is then used to shape the bulk bag to the steep sloped platform prior to opening the bag. Once set the bag spout is easily accessed and the vertical vibration is used periodically, if needed, to discharge product. All with no moving parts.

MASSAGE-IT™ DUAL AGITATORS
The pneumatically operated agitators push material from the edge of the bag to the outlet flow channel while breaking compacted material.
Total Containment
CMT’s Bulk Bag Unloading System offers a completely dust-tight access chamber that contains dust within a large, easy to access chamber. Our pneumatically actuated bulk bag spout clamping system completely seals the bulk bag outlet spout thereby eliminating the most poignant dust leakage potential. Contact us for a complete project analysis.
CONTAIN-IT™ BAG ACCESS CHAMBER
- Extra Large Chamber
- Sealed Bag access
- Contain all leaks and spill
Our bulk bag unloaders minimize dusting, as the bag spout is connected to an internal cylinder, located within the isolation chamber. The bulk bag is clamped via air cylinders thereby providing a positive seal between the bag and downstream equipment within the access chamber.
Please notice how LARGE this access chamber is. Compare this to “gull wing” doors and small square enclosures that make it very difficult to access the bag.
Dust Extraction Port – This port is connected to the access chamber, pulling any dust that may be present due to leakage at the bag seams or stitching, which is especially prevalent with unlined bulk bags. This is located far above the material contact area, allowing for positive dust evacuation, as it will never be plugged by material. We can also provide supplementart bulk bag unloading dust collection systems for the entire plant.
