Bag Discharge Systems

Clean, Safe and Efficient Bag Emptying

VOLDE Bag Dumping Systems are engineered for the safe, clean and ergonomic introduction of powders and granular materials from bags into downstream processes. Available in manual or automated configurations, each system can be tailored to specific bag formats, material characteristics and process requirements. Options include integrated dust extraction, safety screening, platform-supported configurations, hygienic design and CIP-compatible solutions, ensuring reliable operation and seamless integration with downstream conveying, feeding and dosing systems

| Bag Dump Hoppers

Bag dump hoppers provide a simple and cost-effective solution for the controlled introduction of bagged bulk materials into the process. The hinged top cover allows safe manual bag emptying while directing the material into the receiving hopper for subsequent transfer to downstream equipment. Designed without an integrated filter, these units are particularly suitable for materials with low to moderate dust generation. Where required, a dedicated extraction connection allows integration with the plant’s central dust collection system.

Key Features

• Designed for manual bag emptying
• Hinged cover for cleaner and more controlled operation
• Connection for central dust extraction system
• Carbon steel or stainless steel construction
• Configurable hopper volumes and outlet arrangements
• Interfaces for screw conveyors, rotary valves and downstream feeding equipment

| Bag Dump Hopper with Integrated Dust Filter

Designed with additional buffer capacity, the bag dump hopper provides temporary material storage between manual bag emptying and the downstream process, enabling a more consistent and continuous material supply. The integrated dust filter captures airborne dust generated during bag emptying, while the hopper can be configured to suit specific storage capacity, material flow and process requirements.

Key Features

• Configurable buffer hopper capacities
• Conical or application-specific hopper geometries
• Integrated dust filtration for clean operation
• Level sensor integration
• Optional load cell weighing system
• Flow aids including vibrators and aeration systems
