Bag Break Stations

Bag break stations offer a convenient place to introduce bags, sacks, or drums into bulk handling or processing systems. They consists of a dump hopper, a frame to support the hopper, and a discharge chute to direct the material into the process equipment or conveyance line.

• Standard Bag Break Station: Some manufacturers have standard models that are made with some economies of scale and are thus more cost-effective. These usually have a port that you connect to an external dust collection system.
• Self-Contained Bag Dump Station: As seen pictured, this type of station includes an integrated filter to capture and contain the dust generated during the dumping process. The dust control system can be a simple filter or a more advanced cyclonic separator that removes dust particles from the air stream. This type of bag break station is used for all types of products when production wants to reduce waste or keep the air clean when there isn’t an external system they can port the equipment to. But they are necessary, for extra-fine or hazardous materials —like chemicals and pharmaceuticals—where stray particles are particularly dangerous.
• Mobile Bag Break Station: Bag breaks can be put on casters and be made detachable, but are most commonly connected to conveyance via a swivel arm. They’re most useful when a processor has limited space or wants to be able to have multiple fixed inputs without connecting them directly to the line.
• Custom Bag Break Stations: Bag break stations are relatively simple and can be customized to include specific features, such as special materials of construction, custom dimensions, or integrated dust control systems, like our Auto-Pulse Bag Dump.
