Big Bag Discharge Systems

Modular, Flexible and Engineered for Your Process

VOLDE Big Bag Unloading Systems are engineered as fully integrated solutions for applications requiring multiple big bag unloading points, configured according to specific process requirements, material characteristics and plant layouts. Beyond standalone unloading stations, these systems integrate big bag handling, discharging, conveying, feeding and process control within a single system architecture, providing a modular and scalable solution for efficient bulk material handling.

| Modularity, Flexibility & Key Advantages

VOLDE Big Bag Unloading Systems are developed with a project specific engineering approach rather than standardized, one size fits all configurations.

• Additional unloading points can be integrated as process requirements grow
• Compatible with a wide range of big bag sizes and weights
• Adaptable to different bag loading and handling concepts
• Each system is engineered around the specific application requirements
• Mechanical engineering, automation and process control from a single source

This modular system architecture provides an optimized solution for current production requirements while allowing for future capacity expansion and process modifications.

_ Engineered for Your Process
Each system is individually engineered according to bulk material characteristics, required throughput, process conditions and plant layout. Equipment configuration and system design are tailored to the specific application.

_ Designed for Future Expansion
Systems can be designed to accommodate additional big bag unloading stations, conveying lines and process equipment as production requirements evolve, providing flexibility for future plant expansion.

_ Reliable & Continuous Material Feeding
Engineered for high-capacity production environments, the system ensures consistent, controlled and uninterrupted material supply to downstream conveying, dosing and production processes.

| Big Bag Loading by Overhead Crane

Big bags are lifted, transported and positioned above the unloading stations using an overhead travelling crane. This configuration provides flexible access across multiple unloading points, enabling safe and efficient bag handling while reducing manual intervention.

• Ideal for multi-station and high-capacity installations
• Flexible big bag handling across the unloading area
• Fast and efficient positioning above discharge stations
• Reduced manual handling and improved operator ergonomics
• Suitable for integration with automated material handling systems

| Big Bag Loading by Forklift

Big bags are lifted and positioned onto the unloading station using a forklift and a dedicated lifting frame. This configuration provides a practical and cost-effective loading solution, particularly for installations with limited headroom or where an overhead crane is not available.

• Cost-effective loading concept
• Compatible with existing forklift operations
• Flexible installation with minimal infrastructure requirements
• Suitable for a wide range of big bag sizes and configurations
• Ideal for facilities with limited headroom

| Big Bag Loading by WEBB Conveyor

Big bags are automatically transported and positioned at the unloading stations using an overhead WEBB-type chain conveyor system. Designed for high-throughput and continuous production environments, this configuration enables efficient bag handling across multiple unloading points while significantly reducing operator intervention.

• Continuous and automated big bag handling
• Reduced operator intervention
• Suitable for high-throughput production lines
• Efficient distribution across multiple unloading stations
• Ideal for centralized bulk material handling systems

| Big Bag Loading by Monorail Structure

Big bags are lifted and positioned above the unloading station using a hoist integrated into the support platform. This compact configuration provides safe and controlled bag handling while accommodating different big bag sizes and installation requirements.

• Safe and controlled big bag positioning
• Compact design for space-constrained installations
• Flexible lifting height to suit different bag sizes
• Reduced manual handling for improved operator safety
• Integrated hoist and support structure for efficient operation
