Sanitary bag dump station with glovebox ensures safe, sanitary handling of bulk powders and granules by allowing bags or small sacks to be opened and discharged into a process while protecting operators and preventing product contamination. Compatible with vacuum conveyors, screw feeders, or discharge valves, it is ideal for hygienic and dust-sensitive applications.
Designed for safety and hygiene
Constructed from stainless steel (AISI 316L) with polished internal welds and electropolished surfaces, the station is built for easy cleaning and long-term durability. Integrated glovebox operation, FDA-approved seals, and a polycarbonate viewing window ensure operator protection and product integrity, while automatic ventilation and filtration control dust exposure during loading and discharge.
Flexible and easy to integrate
The unit connects via flanged ports to Coperion K-Tron feeders, bottom pickup ports, or DN 150 discharge valves. Optional HEPA secondary filtration, sliding PTFE hatch, and adjustable vacuum control allow seamless integration into different process lines while maintaining a closed, sanitary environment.
Simplified operation and maintenance
Automatic exhaust fan activation, reverse-jet filter cleaning, and side-flange bag disposal streamline operation. Minimal moving parts and polished surfaces reduce contamination risk and make routine cleaning fast and efficient.
