Big bag discharge station for bulk material handling
Ensure low-dust and efficient discharge of bulk materials with a system designed to integrate seamlessly into automated feeding processes, enhancing overall production efficiency.

Discharges Bulk Materials from Big Bags
The Big Bag Discharge Station from AZO GmbH & Co. KG offers a comprehensive solution for efficient bulk material handling across various industries, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. Designed for reliability and low-dust operation, this station facilitates material discharge from big bags into closed automated systems.
Its working principle involves using a hoist to suspend big bags, which are then docked to the station’s discharge pipe via a pneumatic clamping system. Optional vibrators or massagers ensure smooth flow for difficult materials, while low-level indicators signal when bag change is necessary. This unit is particularly beneficial for handling powders and granules, such as detergent powders, protein powders, and cement additives.
Capable of both manual and automated operations, it integrates seamlessly into your production line, accommodating various material types. Built with corrosion-resistant materials, it ensures compatibility with a wide range of bulk substances. Custom engineering support is available to tailor the system to specific production needs, ensuring compliance with industry standards and enhancing operational efficiency.
