Conveying & Process Interface
A wide variety of options are available to
integrate the bulk bag discharger with material
conveying systems and downstream process
equipment. The material characteristics and
the specifics of the customer’s application
dictate the type of interface utilized.

Agitator Hopper Interface: The U-shaped hopper includes a mechanical
agitator that eliminates the potential for material to bridge or rat hole above
the inlet to material conveying equipment. The agitator design draws the
material away from the sides and directs it through the center discharge on a
consistent and reliable basis.
