Ton Bag Feeding Station

What is Ton Bag Feeding Station?

Ton Bag Feeding Station is a professional equipment for automatic unpacking and feeding of ton bag materials. It mainly handles 200kg to 2000kg of ton bag packaging materials. The equipment lifts ton bags through electric hoists, uses bag breaking mechanism to automatically cut the bottom of the bag, and cooperates with negative pressure dust suction system to achieve dust-free unloading, which can shorten the 20 minutes/bag of manual unpacking to 3 minutes/bag. At the same time, it has a variety of customized designs such as explosion-proof and anti-static.

Features of Ton Bag Feeding Station

The ton bag feeding station integrates mechanical automation and intelligent control technology. Compared with traditional manual feeding, it has significant advantages in efficiency, safety, cost and other aspects.

Dust-free operation: It adopts closed system design and can be equipped with dust collection device to keep the workspace clean and meet 0SHA/EPA standards.

Continuous operation: It can be connected to conveyors, screening machines or mixing equipment to achieve assembly line production and reduce intermediate links.

Ergonomic and adjustable: height-adjustable platform or hydraulic lift for handling bulk bags from 500 kg to 2,500 kg.

Customized options: add screens, magnetic separators, weighing scales or heating/cooling functions as needed.

Adapt to a variety of ton bags: compatible with ton bags of different sizes (such as slings, trays), and adjustable hanging height.

Ton Bag Feeding Station structure

The ton bag feeding station completes the whole process of ton bag material from unpacking to feeding through the precise coordination of various functional modules. Its core structure is as follows.

Lifting device: mainly includes electric hoist, sling and hook. The electric hoist usually has a load capacity of ≤2 tons, which can flexibly lift and lower ton bags, making it convenient to accurately lift and transport ton bags to the bag breaking station.

Bag breaking mechanism: Common ones include serrated bag breaking knives, which can cut the bottom of the ton bag through mechanical transmission and complete bag breaking within 15 seconds. They are suitable for ton bags of common materials such as PP and PE. In addition, there are scissor-type bag breaking, rotary blade bag breaking and other forms, which can be selected according to the characteristics of the material. ​

Bag shaping device: Some feeding stations are equipped with this device, which can squeeze and shape the ton bag, so that the material can slide smoothly, improve the unloading rate, and increase the unloading rate from 85% to 99%.

Working principle of Ton Bag Feeding Station

The ton bag unpacking machine uses an electric hoist or forklift to lift the ton bag to the feeding port, press the bag, open the ton bag unloading port, and use a beating device or a vibration device to make the material fall into the hopper below. Then the material is sorted by a vibrating screen in a sealed environment or directly transported to the downstream equipment; finally, the pulse dust removal system captures the dust generated during the operation in real time to ensure a clean working environment.

Ton Bag Feeding Station application scenarios

Due to its high efficiency, safety and environmental protection, ton bag feeding stations are widely used in industries that need to handle large-volume bulk materials.

Chemical industry: In the chemical industry, ton bag feeding stations can handle powder/granular raw materials and toxic and hazardous chemicals. Chemical plants unload titanium dioxide through closed feeding stations to avoid the risk of dust explosion and ensure production safety.

Food and agricultural product processing: The food industry uses ton bag feeding stations to achieve efficient feeding of bulk raw materials such as grain, sugar and salt, as well as pollution-free transfer of food additives. Flour mills use them to unload imported wheat flour and screen out impurities to meet strict food hygiene requirements.

Pharmaceuticals and health products: For the pharmaceutical industry, ton bag feeding stations achieve dust-free feeding of raw materials and excipients and closed processing of highly active ingredients. Negative pressure feeding stations in pharmaceutical workshops prevent cross contamination and ensure the quality of drugs.

Building materials and metallurgy: In the building materials and metallurgy industries, ton bag feeding stations are used to handle heavy materials such as cement and mineral powder and metal powder. Concrete mixing stations can quickly unload cement and use screw conveyors to improve efficiency.

New energy and electronic materials: In the field of new energy and electronic materials, ton bag feeding stations help lithium battery materials to be accurately fed and photovoltaic materials to be unloaded with anti-static electricity. Lithium battery factories use nitrogen to protect feeding stations to prevent electrode material oxidation, and electronic-grade silicon powder is connected to the air flow conveying system through it to meet the industry's high-precision production needs.

What are the functions of the Ton Bag Feeding Station?

The ton bag feeding station can automatically lift and unload bags, and achieve dust-free operation through negative pressure dust suction. It has functions such as high degree of automation, good dust control, and adaptability to different ton bags and materials.

Ton bag lifting and fixing: The ton bag is lifted to the feeding station by an electric hoist or crane, and the ton bag is fixed with a clamp or hook.

Automatic bag removal: The bottom of the ton bag is automatically opened and the material is released through a cutting device or a bag unpacking device.

Dust-free feeding: Equipped with a dust removal system to prevent dust from being generated during the feeding process and ensure a clean working environment.

Vibration-assisted unloading: through vibration devices or slapping devices, ensure that the materials in the ton bag are completely unloaded to avoid residue.

What equipment can be connected to the unloading port of the ton bag feeding station?

The unloading port of the ton bag unpacking machine can be connected to the material bin, screw conveyor, rotary unloading valve, crusher, electromagnetic iron remover, vacuum feeder and other equipment.

Receiving silo: suitable for scenes such as temporary storage of chemical raw materials and transfer of food raw materials. The standard material level meter monitors the inventory in real time and links the start and stop of the unpacking machine. The unloading angle of the conical silo bottom is ≥60° to prevent material bridging.
