product overview starting FAKUMA 2014

characteristicsApplicable to all bulk containers with plastic inner liner (octoboxes, mesh boxes, super sacks, big bags and FIBCs) and to all bulk containers with loops (for example super sacks, big bags and FIBCs).

The vibrating suction head is able to evacuate all flo-wable bulk materials, plunging into the bulk material and assisted by vibration loosening clumped materi-al. The loosened bulk material is flowing then without

difficulty and continuously into the suction through the centrally arranged suction pipe. Even ragged and powdered bulk materials can be discharged.

discharging

When discharging octoboxes, su-per sacks, big bags and FIBCs containing granular products or ground stock by means of suction lances, the conveying operation is frequently prone to interruption, re-sulting in operating down time. The conveying operation can only be resumed by manually repositioning the suction lance. The problem occurs in particular when the bulk container is getting empty. Over a long period, the operator must manually guide the suction lance over the material to ensure that the plastic inner liner is completely emptied.

While discharging by suction, the flexible bulk bag walls are pulled upwards and inwards by means of the automatic bag lifting operation. This causes the bag to become closer and the bulk material around flows towards the evacuation point in center. That followed, the bulk bag is lifted up from the floor thus

enabling the bag to get completely empty. The bag bottom type is essential for the degree of complete emptying (almost a hundred percent result is possib-le by using round bottom bags of PE).

advantages at a glanceOKTOMAT® functional principlemountingThe Oktomat® discharging stations are delivered pre-assembled packed in a chip tray box with an integrated assembling aid. The final assemb- ling can be easily done with just a few turns.only a handlift is required Basing on the discharging from the top, only a handlift is required to move the the bulk bag and to place it under the place of suction.automaticallyOktomat® discharging stations are autarkic and matching for every suc-tion conveying system for bulk materials. As soon as there is vacuum in conveying pipe line, the Oktomat® starts discharging. When using Oktomat® double units, the discharging will be automatically switched on to the next full bulk container at empty signal. continuous emptying processSince 1996 there are thousands of Oktomat® discharging stations in use under hardest operating conditions, mainly in a three shift operation.low-maintenanceOktomat® discharging stations are low-maintenance in operation and easy to maintain.

grade application

working principle of Helios digital pneumaticsOnce the refrigerated dried compressed air is decompressed to atmospheric pressure, the dew point would drop down to -20°C up to -28°C. This dry air quality level is sophisticated for more than 95% of drying tasks in drying of thermoplastic materials. By means of auxiliary equipments, the dew point can be dropped down up to -60°C. The system is capable to use the quantity of dry air only as required to meet exactly the drying task by means of patented HELIOS high pressure digital pneumatics, up to 32 different dry air volume flows are possible by combining 2-5 air supply valves with different nozzle diameters in binary code. This enables defined drying programs, with absolute repeat accurancy, combined with material-specific system adjustments by means of editable data base. Additional drying period control can be done by means of HELIOcontrol® software.
