Dump system collects dust

A new Bag Dump System from
Flexicon (Europe) collects dust
generated during manual dumping
and compaction of bags and
conveys bulk material downstream.

The unit is intended to reduce
material waste and eliminate the
need to clean a remote dust
collection site, while protecting
workers and preventing plant
contamination.

Pre-engineered, pre-wired and
ready to plug in and run, the
compact system integrates a
receiving hopper, dust collector,
bag compactor and flexible screw
conveyor on a frame, which
streamlines installation and allows
for easy relocation if required.

The bag-dump-station portion
of the system collects dust
generated during manual dumping
and compaction of bags by means
of a high velocity vacuum fan that
draws dust away from the operator
on to two cartridge filters.
