Facet Engineering bulk bag handling system: FIBC discharge station with forklift pockets, dust-tight spout, and vibratory base for complete product discharge

01 / 05

Overview

Bulk bag (FIBC) handling systems are used wherever materials are received or dispatched in large woven polypropylene bags of 500 kg to 1 500 kg. Facet Engineering designs complete bulk bag handling plants for both intake (discharge) and despatch (filling) operations. Discharge stations include a bag-lifting frame, vibrating base plate, and dust-tight spout connection to the plant conveying. Filling stations include net or gross weight scales, automatic spout connection, and bag support frame with integrated inflate/deflate for the bag liner. Between the discharge and filling stations, the material is conveyed through the process. The number of discharge and filling stations is matched to the required material flow rate and the available forklift or crane capacity.

Typical Plant Scope

Bulk bag discharge stations with vibrating base
Lifting frames sized to bag weight and bag height
Dust-tight spout connections at discharge
Conveying integration between discharge and process

Typical Applications

Raw ingredient intake from FIBCs in feed mills
Grain and seed bulk bag filling for export
Flour and meal bulk bag packaging
Fertiliser and chemical ingredient handling
