For many manufacturers, emptying Big Bags is a difficult and time-consuming process. The Big Bag Conditioner makes this a thing of the past. The system first loosens highly compacted products in the Big Bags, after which the Big Bags can be emptied smoothly and quickly.
Process:
Intake & EmptyingDue to agglomerated product, emptying Big Bags can be a time-consuming occupation. Clumping can be a product characteristic but can also be caused by dampness or compression during transport. By combining the conditioning and discharge of Big Bags in one solution, Dinnissen's Big Bag Conditioner ensures that Big Bags can be emptied effortlessly and quickly. The Big Bag Conditioner is designed, built, and tested in-house, guaranteeing you the highest quality.
The best way to loosen clumped product from a Big Bag depends on the material. For materials such as hard sugar, a mangle helps with breaking the product loose. For material where clumping is caused by fat, an unloading tower is used to slowly move the product. Dinnissen has several solutions available to condition Big Bags and to get the product out of the Big Bags easily.
An operator ensures that the full Big Bags are attached to a hoist, and does not need to exert a great deal of physical effort to lift and condition the Big Bags. The Big Bags are put through a wide mangle or are massaged, causing the product to loosen from the sides of the Big Bags. This way the Big Bags can be emptied without leaving behind unnecessarily much product. This does not only result in reduced product loss, but also a quicker production process.
The main feature of the Big Bag Conditioner is that the conditioning, emptying, and discharge of Big Bags are done in only one station. Each Big Bag Conditioner has a hoist that raises the Big Bag and guides it through the conditioner. The Big Bag can then be secured at the bottom with a cuff so that the product can flow out of the Big Bag dust-free. Depending on the product and the desired production process, different designs are possible. Options are available for processing toxic substances, a product discharge system can be connected to the Big Bag Conditioner, and the system can also be integrated into existing lines.
The Big Bag is lifted with a hoisting system and hung above the conditioner. This is a large mangle that loosens the product from the sides of the Big Bag. Once the Big Bag has been conditioned, the bottom of the Big Bag can be connected to the product discharge using a cuff. When properly attached, the bottom of the Big Bag is opened and the product flows out of the Big Bag easily and quickly.

When working with powders, grains, and granulates, one often uses Big Bags, drums, or containers to transport the substances. The way these are subsequently emptied is important for a hygienic, safe, and fast production process. In addition to the Big Bag Conditioner, we have DIMA® Bag Emptying Systems, Modular Big Bag Unloading Systems, Drum and Container Handling Systems, and corrosion-resistant silos.
System integrator Dinnissen optimizes and innovates your production process with tailored solutions: developed, manufactured and tested in-house. From product intake, transport, dosing and weighing, mixing, grinding, sieving and packaging to full automation and control. We maximize the performance and efficiency of your entire process.
