One of the global leaders in material handling is Spiroflow. Over the past 40 years, Spiroflow has worked closely with both small and large volume users - resulting in the development of a comprehensive and expanding range of bulk bag unloaders and transfer equipment. There are nine different models of bulk bag unloaders available to provide discharge by volume or by weight. A wide range of modular emptiers is also available, providing the complete solution to bag emptying and materials conveying.

What Is A Bulk Bag Unloader?

A bulk bag unloader is also referred to as a bulk bag discharger, bulk bag emptiers & unloaders. Many different companies rely on bulk bag unloaders to handle all types of materials due to their speed, safety & cost effectiveness. Where small 50 pound bags were used almost exclusively, bulk bags (also called big bags) are a viable and effective alternative for containment and distribution.

The worldwide acceptance of bulk bags has brought big changes to bulk material handling - not least in the pharmaceutical industry where they are replacing the use of rigid IBC's. Manufacturers of bulk bags, and associated filling and unloading systems have made strident advances in hygiene and containment – now offering containment levels as good as 25µg/m3. Lined bulk bags avoid cross contamination between batches and eliminate the need for and cost of cleaning/re-validation associated with traditional rigid bins.
