Bulk bag conditioner with laser guard
Flexicon introduce new bulk-bag conditioner with laser curtain for improved operator safety
A NEW BLOCK-BUSTER bulk-bag conditioner from Flexicon Corporation features a laser safety curtain that automatically stops the system’s hydraulic rams, scissor lift and turntable if the laser beam is obstructed, eliminating the need for safety-hinged doors and interlock switches for operator safety.
The conditioner loosens densely packed bulk solid materials in bulk bags by means of hydraulic rams with specially contoured end plates that press and release opposing sides of the bag. A hydraulically actuated, variable-height scissor lift with accordion style dust skirt and turntable allows conditioning of the bag on all sides at all heights.
The number and pressure of hydraulic ram actuations, the height of the turntable, and the number of 90° rotations are user adjustable. The system controller and hydraulic pump can be mounted on the exterior of the frame or remotely.
The new conditioner is intended for bulk bags containing hygroscopic chemicals, heat-sensitive products, and other materials prone to solidifying to the point at which pneumatically actuated flow promotion accessories integral to bulk-bag dischargers are inefficient or completely ineffective.
Available as a stand-alone unit or integral component of a bulk-bag discharger, the unit measures 2,210mm in height, 3,378mm in width and 1,981mm in depth; accommodates bulk bags of all popular sizes; and requires only an electrical power connection for operation.
