Big bag unloading station for solid materials
Streamline your production line by efficiently handling and dosing bulk solid materials, ensuring precise dosage and seamless integration with downstream processing.

Efficiently Unloads and Doses Bulk Solids
The Big Bag Unloading Station from INOXPAGO is meticulously engineered to streamline the handling and dosing of bulk solids like sugar, flour, and salt. This equipment stands out due to its robust design featuring a ATEX-compliant hoist for safe lifting and a sophisticated system of rotary and gate valves for precise dosing.
Operating on a principle of vertical support and controlled material transfer, it is tailored for applications across the food, dairy, bakery, and pharmaceutical industries. Capable of managing materials with granular consistency, the station supports processing capacities from 180 kg/h to 2.5 t/h, enabling seamless integration into your production line.
With an option for pneumatic vibration and a solids level detector, it ensures efficient unloading, tackling industry-specific challenges such as anti-caking and flow consistency. Constructed with corrosion-resistant AISI 316 stainless steel for product-contact parts, it meets FDA standards and offers optional configurations for enhanced customization and compliance with stringent industry regulations.
