Bulk Bag Weigh Batching System feeds ingredients to a central weigh hopper at mezzanine level using four flexible screw conveyors and transports pre-weighed batches to a downstream blender using a pneumatic conveying system. BFC Series bulk bag dischargers feature a cantilevered I-beam with electric hoist and trolley to raise and position bulk bags without the use of a forklift. The units are equipped with bag activators that raise and lower opposite bottom edges of the bag at timed intervals, loosening compacted materials and promoting material flow into the discharge spout. Each discharger is equipped with a surge hopper discharging into an enclosed flexible screw conveyor. A system controller starts and stops each conveyor to weight ingredients in sequence. Controller activates a rotary airlock valve to discharge the pre-weighed batch into a pneumatic conveyor line terminating at a filter receiver positioned above a ribbon blender. System components are available constructed of carbon steel with durable industrial finish or stainless steel finished to industrial food, dairy or pharmaceutical standards.
