Safe dedusting during bag emptying and bag filling

Filtration solutions for dust-free emptying of bags with powders, granulates and bulk materials

The manual or semi-automatic emptying of bags is one of the most dust-intensive process steps in bulk goods processing. Particularly in the case of fine powders or dry granulates, opening, emptying or re-cleaning generates a high particle load, which can jeopardise the health of employees as well as product purity and the process environment.

Our filtration solutions are specially designed for use at bag emptying stations. They capture dust directly at the source - with minimal disruption to the work process - and enable safe, clean and ergonomic working. Our systems are designed for different container shapes, product types and hygiene requirements.

Whether as an integrated filter unit in bag chutes or as an external extraction unit, also in combination with ATEX or food-safe design: our solutions reduce dust emissions sustainably, improve working conditions and ensure compliance with legal limits - even with sensitive or reactive bulk materials.
