Traditional suction pipe methods for discharging BigBags and octabins often lead to production disruptions by suctioning film and affecting material flow. A bulk bag unloader is a streamlined system ensuring safe and efficient unloading of large bags filled with materials like salt, mixed herbs, glass fiber sticks, pellets, rubber granulate, and more. Specifically beneficial for materials in food and baking operations, these unloaders eliminate contamination risks. With Labotek’s dominance in the Australian and New Zealand plastic industry markets for vacuum conveying since 1981, Fleming offers Labotek’s bulk bag unloading system designed for standard pallet-sized octabins.
