Volkmann bag dump stations are line of bag dump stations that automatically capture bulk materials discharged from bags and stages the powders, granules, tablets and/or pellets for transfer into storage or directly into a production process. Installed with a companion pneumatic vacuum conveying system, the bag dumping stations help control dust, stop product loss, and prevent product contamination while reducing labor-intensive, manual bag hauling and emptying into mixers, vessels, and other equipment. Dangerous, ambient dust is virtually eliminated. Featuring the RNT-180 standard model bag station and the RNT-CON Rip-and-Tip dump station for dust-free, high containment, the line of modular sack tipping stations may be configured to meet FDA requirements for sanitary processing.
