Contained big bag conditioner - SmashR® Enclosed
Developed for big bags containing granular or hazardous powders, the SmashR® Enclosed big bag massager cage provides crushing while maintaining a fully sealed, dust-free enclosure. The hydraulic equipment and rotating lift table are integrated into the containment enclosure, while an extraction system captures any dust emissions.
This solution facilitates big bag emptying during production, while also ensuring operator safety. It is particularly well suited to the chemical industry.
"Standard" cycle:
- Operator loads big bag
- Operator closes doors
- Operator starts massage cycle
- The paddles exert 4 upward pressures on the big bag.
- Table rotates 90°
- The paddles exert 4 upward pressures on the big bag.
- Table rotates 90°
- The cycle is complete, and a signal message indicates that the operator can open the doors and retrieve the big bag.
The number of presses and table turns is adjustable.
Duration of a "standard" cycle: 5 min.
Output: approx. 12 big bags/hr
Hydraulic force: > 15T / > 150 kN
Objectives: Condition big bags
Equipment advantages
- Safely decompacts fine-grained or hazardous powders
- Breaks up powder blocks, facilitating complete big bag emptying.
- Clean process: powder is decompacted directly inside the big bag
- Uses pivoting gates to reach the core of the product without damaging the big bag.
- Adapts to big bag volumes and powder hardness.

Operating mode:
1. The operator inserts the big bag or forklift through the access door and places it on the turntable. Once the big bag is installed, the access door is closed.
2. The operator selects the desired operating mode from several pre-set modes.
These modes are configurable and take into account:
- Big bag height
- Number of massage cycles
- Number of times the table is raised/lowered
- Number of rotations of the lift table plate
- Once the operating mode has been selected, the operator launches the cycle from the control panel.
3. The massage cycle starts
4. An alert message informs the operator that the cycle is complete, and that he can open the door and remove the big bag.
Options
Available options
-
Radio remote control
Benefits:
- Station control from forklift truck
- Rugged
Description:
The remote control cable is a device enabling SmashR® cycles to be triggered remotely by pulling on a cable. This feature provides a method of control, ensuring safe and efficient use of the SmashR. What's more, the operator doesn't have to get out of the truck, making his work easier and increasing throughput.
-
Radio remote control
Benefits:
- Station control from forklift truck
- Enhanced ergonomics
Description:
This option enables the operator to control the SmashR remotely by starting the SmashR® without being beside the machine. Like the control cable, the operator doesn't need to get off the forklift, making his work easier and increasing throughput.
-
High-speed pump
Advantages:
- Increased output
Description:
This option consists of equipping the SmashR® with a high-speed hydraulic pump, which speeds up big bag breaking cycles.
During the start up phase, the cylinders are moved at high speed and low pressure.
For the massaging cycle, a slower and high-pressure pump breaks up the deep seated lumps.
With a high-speed pump, the SmashR can process big bags more quickly. - Increased output
-
Integrated traceability system
Benefits:
- Complete cycle traceability
- Option: printing on big bag or label printer
Description:
The integrated traceability system enables the SmashR® to generate detailed reports on the history of operation. This includes data such as cycle times, force applied, downtime, etc. These reports offer complete traceability of the big bag unpacking process, which can be essential for quality monitoring, regulatory compliance and continuous process improvement. Data is stored on a server or USB stick.
Complementary option: add a printer to label your big bags.
-
3D scan of the Big Bag
Advantages:
- Allows great variability in big bag sizes
- Increased safety to prevent damage to big bags
Description:The integrated rangefinder system automatically analyzes the size and shape of the big bag before starting the conditioning cycle. Using this data, the SmashR® automatically adjusts its parameters to ensure optimum decompaction. This system is particularly useful for :
- High-value big bags
- Big bags with unusual shapes
- Fragile products
- Toxic products
- Big bags that regularly vary in size
When you start a cycle with the classic station, positioning and settings depend on the operator. In this case, the system takes care of the various settings.
-
ATEX
Advantages:
- Work in hazardous areas
- Increased safety
Description:
The SmashR® ATEX is a solution specially designed for environments where safety is paramount, particularly in hazardous areas.
It offers a number of features to ensure compliance with ATEX standards, such as:
- Isolated environment: every element at risk is isolated. This prevents hazards inside the SmashR®.
- ATEX lifting table: The SmashR's lifting table is also designed to ATEX standards, guaranteeing its safety when crushing big bags containing flammable powders.
- Big bag grounding during activation: An innovative system enables the SmashR® to ground the big bag, reducing the risk of static electricity in sensitive environments.
-
Core-breaking cylinder on top of the big bag
Advantages:
Breaks lumps at the center of the big bag.
Description:
- This option adds additional cylinders to the top of the SmashR®, providing extra pressure for more efficient big bag conditioning
- The cycle is started with the big bag on the table
- The 4 paddles exert upward motion pressures on the big bag
- The lifting table descends
- Core-breaking cylinder extends
- The lift table rises and presses the big bag against the core-breaker cylinder.
- The table rotates 90° and the cycle is repeated.
This feature is particularly useful for very compact or difficult-to-crumble materials, improving the productivity and efficiency of the big bag unloading process.
Table force: 2T / 20 kN
-
Portes automatiques
Advantages:
- Time-saving
- Simplified handling
Description:
Adding automatic doors to your SmashR® offers a practical and secure solution for loading and unloading big bags. These automated doors open and close quickly and reliably.
This system can be coupled with the radio remote control or the remote control cable.
-
Protective housing
Advantages:
- Prevents operators from accessing the hydraulic system
- Protects the hydraulic power unit
Description:This housing provides additional protection for the hydraulic power unit.
It prevents access by operators and prevents damage to the hydraulic power unit: hazardous or dusty environment, impact with forklift truck, etc.
