Young Industries was asked to develop a system that would solve the problems with handling multiple powders for loading mixers. To complicate matters, the system must be portable and be able to handle 24 different powders from bulk bags weighing up to 2000 lbs.
Bulk Bag Unloading Systems
Bulk bags of various powders are loaded into an existing process vessel. The bulk bags were lifted by hoist and the operator reaches under the bag to untie the discharge spout. The powder flows freely from the bulk bag into the hopper below.
Bulk Bag Lifting Bracket Load Test
A Young Industries Bulk Bag Lifting Bracket.
Young Industries manufactures a variety of bulk bag unloading systems that utilize a hoist to lift and position the bag. Lifting brackets for strap type bulk bags are designed, manufactured, and tested to meet the 4000 lb. rating of the system. We manufacture several types of bulk bag lifting brackets. All our lifting brackets are tested as required by OSHA Rigging and Material Handling standards.
Bulk Bag Unloading with Direct-From-Bag Unloading Equipment
It all started when pigment manufacturers could offer titanium dioxide at a lower price per pound when they supplied the material in bulk bags.
The major buyers of their TIO2 product are paint manufacturers. These paint manufacturers would mix the pigments in their disperser mixers. The normal method of loading these mixers is by dumping 50-pound sacks of material into the mixer.
