Bulk Bag Dischargers
Durable, robust bulk materials handling solution.
Guttridge Bulk Bag Dischargers are available with a wide choice of integrated discharge conveyors and/or elevators from our extensive range. Integrated weighing systems can be configured with load cells and weigh controllers to provide sophisticated batch control via loss-in-weight or gravimetric techniques. Dust control options are also available.
Bulk Bag Discharging with Versatile Conveying Solutions
The Bulk Bag Discharger can work as a stand-alone piece of equipment, or can be combined with one of our discharge systems. The most popular are the Sieveflo, Multiflo and Easyflo rigid screw elevators, providing the ultimate in rugged, durable design, as well as genuine easy cleandown facilities. Flexible screw conveyors and our Bulkflo large capacity loading hopper are also popular combinations. Our steeply inclined screw elevator options also result in a small footprint – ideal for confined spaces.

Bulk Bag Discharger with Easyflo and Sieveflo
This model is based around our Easyflo and Sieveflo screw elevators, it provides the ultimate in flexibility because the Easyflo/Sieveflo hopper loader can be used separately for discharging 25kg bags, boxes or drums. The Sieveflo option provides a useful integral check sieve to catch foreign objects before they enter the main system. A number of configurations are available, depending on the particular material characteristics and site requirements.
The integrated Easyflo can be easily removed for a thorough clean-down between batches—a job that need take only a few minutes. It can even be totally removed for standalone operation as a manual discharge station for handling 25kg bags, boxes, or drums.
The elevating screw is a rigid screw inclined at 70°, resulting in a robust, space-efficient solution with long life and minimal spares requirements. The Easyflo system provides a unique capability to handle a huge range of materials—from fine, free-flowing powders to materials with very poor flow characteristics.
Bulk Bag Discharger with Multiflo
This model is based around our Multiflo tubular screw conveyor system and is available in a number of configurations – extended hopper, multiple screw, horizontal discharge, agitators etc, depending on the particular material characteristics and site requirements.
