Hoist Loaded FIBC Discharging

Loading FIBCs 'big bags' into dischargers using a hoist, mounted in a freestanding gantry, is the preferred option for many applications, particularly where forklifts are not permitted, and where the product is being fed into a mixer, buffer hopper, or dense phase conveying system.

The Hoist loaded option allows flexibility in how and when the new FIBC is delivered to the discharge station, without being dependent on forklift availability. The maximum discharge height is determined by building height, not the reach and safety constraints of a forklift truck.

Gantries are based on a standard design, with options of tubular or square hollow section stainless steel or powder coated mild steel, with galvanised lifting beams.

Beams fitted with stainless steel running strips for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Twin and triple gantries are designed to reduce floor space and minimise supports to the floor. Integral electric or pneumatic hoists come supplied with pendant controls, suitable for safe and Atex rated environments.

Twin mechanically interlocked hoists are provided where rapid changeover of emptied FIBCs is necessary.

The FIBC lifting frames with anti-rotation guides ensure the bulk bags are presented squarely to the discharger.

Our unique retaining Latches eliminate the risk of FIBC loops being accidentally released during lifting and discharge.
