Description
IBC Container emptying - IBCFLOW® 01 - Manual or automatic deconditioning
The IBC Container unloader ensures containment and optimization of the flow. The IBC container discharge station is designed to efficiently and hygienically discharge and convey your pulverulent materials to your industrial production line.

From manual to fully automatic container discharing, the results are many: increased throughput and productivity, improved integration controls, reduced operating costs in terms of manpower and product losses, or complete unloading of containers without contamination of your bulk materials.
Automatic IBC container emptying
A pneumatic actuator (cylinder) ensures the opening and closing of the industrial containers.
The opening and closing speed is easily managed thanks to the installation, in the pneumatic control cabinet, and a flow regulator
The cylinder is available with an option of electromagnetic sensors to ensure proper positioning of the valve axis and connection to the mixer.
Once in position, the action on the pneumatic cylinder ensures the opening of the valve by a mechanical cam system.
At the outlet of the butterfly valve, a seal attached to the structure ensures a tight connection.
A vibrating structure (optional) will allow you to ensure good flow of bulk materials and powders.
Manual IBC container emptying
The presence of a centring device allows to gain in productivity during the installation of the manual emptying station. A socket joint ensures a tight connection to the container to ensure optimal containment of the bulk material without contamination.
The container is loaded using a forklift or electric hoist. The operator then opens the drain valve manually.
Note: if the product does not generate dust, the unloading station is not necessary. The container is emptied in "open sky" (example of product: plastic granulate).
Our IBC container emptying stations are also available custom-made to best meet your needs.

Industrial container unloader
For a controlled discharge of your raw ingredients and bulk materials.

Steel - stainless steel container
Stainless steel container for the storage of all types of powders and bulk materials: sulphate, titanium dioxide, soya, starch, activated carbon, carbon black...

Inflatable seal
Product containment during emptying.

Container discharging
Containment and optimization of flow during container emptying.

Industrial container unloader food application
The container is automatically fed below the bulk material feeder. The bulk container is then automatically emptied above the industrial mixer.

Container connection
Deconditioning of chromium powder in a vibrating screen.

Container discharging
This station is designed to unload and convey your bulk materials to your production line in an efficient and hygienic way.

Contained emptying container
Stainless steel container discharging station. Containment is provided by a socket or inflatable seal.

IBCFLOW container discharging
Deconditioning of the container of powdered paint into a big bag.

IBCFLOW Contained container emptying
The industrial container is loaded manually onto the emptying hopper using a forklift truck. The operator then opens the discharge valve to start the downflow of the bulk materials.

Container discharging system
Pneumatic clamping system for connecting a pneumatic conveying system.

Container discharging with pneumatic conveying
Integrated equipment:
- Dense phase vacuum pneumatic conveying cyclone detached filter
- Dense phase vacuum pneumatic conveying cyclone VF05
- Steel/stainless steel container
- Container discharging - IbcFlow®01

stainless steel container discharging
Reconditioning of spices from storage containers.

Container discharging bulk materials
The connection of the stainless steel storage container to the docking base is provided via a flexible connection sleeve.

Container discharging system
The industrial storage container is positioned on a vibrating weighed support, the metering is ensured with a butterfly valve.
This butterfly valve ensures the completion of loading (this valve is installed on the weighing station).
At the end of the process, the operator closes the valve of the container to "release" the container and remove it.
Sodium methoxide flows directly into the reactor below by gravity.

Stainless steel container discharging station
Stainless steel IBC container for packing food powders.
