Safe Handling & Automated Discharge of “Big Bags” With Dust Control
The use of FIBC “Big Bags” for handling granules
and powders is commonplace in many process
industries. The Gericke standard range of
discharge stations are ergonomically designed to
provide safe and efficient handling whilst reducing
dust emissions.
There are many different types of “Big Bag”
available on the market and Gericke’s modular
system can be adapted to cater for most bag sizes,
loops and discharge chutes.
Safe Handling is a major concern for plant
operators and the Gericke system includes
techniques which allow the bags to be loaded
directly from Fork Trucks or from pallets using
integral certified gantrys with electrically powered
hoists.

Bag tensioning devices can be fitted to retain and
retract loose internal liners to avoid blockages at
the outlet. The further option of a pneumatically
actuated outlet spout closing device can be added
to allow a part emptied bag to be removed from
the discharger or to allow the contents of a bag
to be closed off from the atmosphere.
Dust control is equally important and Gericke can
offer a range of solutions using integral or remote
extraction to meet the requirements of most
installations.
Gericke offer a comprehensive service, which
integrates “Big Bag” dischargers into a complete
working system, including other processes and
equipment from their range such as sieves, sifters,
nibblers, cone mills, feeders, mixers, vacuum and
dense phase pneumatic conveyors.
