Bag Spout Interfaces
The operator interface with the
discharge spout varies depending
on the bag style and material
characteristics. The design objective
for every application is a user
friendly access to untie or re-tie the
spout while providing dust free and
complete material discharge.

E3 Bag Spout Interface: The E3 [Engage, Elongate, Evacuate] provides
a dust tight seal with the discharge spout of the bag while eliminating the
potential for contaminates to enter the process. Material flow from the bag is
greatly enhanced for semi to non-free flowing material when the E3 is located
in the sealed, lowered position. The double wall design prevents material
spillage when untying, retying, or removing an empty bag.
