Automated Handling of Activated Carbon in Bulk Bags Reduces Dust and Labor for Municipal WTPs

At both facilities, installation of an automated bulk bag unloading and feeding system eliminated dust caused by untying, discharging, collapsing and removing individual small bags while increasing operator safety and reducing manual labor.
The city of Swift Current now purchases 1100 lb (500 kg) bags and unloads 1 to 3.5 bags per week. The city of Lafayette unloads between one 900 lb (408 kg) bulk bag per week during the winter and as many as 4.5 bags per week during the peak summer months.
The Flexicon bulk bag dischargers incorporate devices that contain dust and promote complete discharge. A manual SPOUT-LOCK® clamp ring is raised pneumatically by a TELE-TUBE® telescoping tube, allowing an operator to make a high-integrity, dust-tight connection with the bag spout. The telescoping tube is then released to exert continuous downward tension on the clamp ring and, in turn the bag spout, which elongates the bag as it empties to promote complete discharge.
