Sterling Systems & Controls bulk bag unloading system

Sterling Systems & Controls, Inc. has released a line of bulk bag unloading systems designed for food industry applications such as the baking and snack industries. The unloading systems include bulk bag discharging, material weighing and batch dispensing, along with the controls required for automatic operation.

A typical system incorporates the mechanical structure which houses and supports the bag discharge, alongside material weighing, dispensing (flexible screw conveyor) and control panel components.

The mechanical components are provided to unload the bulk bag, weigh the desired amount of material as set for a batch by the operator and then dispense the batch of material into a container for production use. Dust containment around the bag tie is available (as a ‘glove box’). Process controls can also be provided.
