BLOCK-BUSTER® Hydraulic Bulk Bag Conditioners
Product Overview
Learn everything you need to know about Flexicon Bulk Bag Dischargers.
Flexicon BLOCK-BUSTER® Hydraulic Bulk Bag Conditioners (also known as FIBC, Big Bag, and Jumbo Bag Massagers) loosen bulk solid materials that have solidified during storage or shipment, to the point where pneumatic flow promotion accessories are ineffective. The conditioner’s two hydraulic rams break up material allowing bulk bag unloaders to discharge the material through bag spouts. BLOCK-BUSTER® Bulk Bag Conditioners are available integrated into bulk bag unloading frames or are available in two models of self-standing units.

Product benefits
- Eliminate Manual Bulk Bag Loosening: Reduce the possibility of injury when operators need to loosen bulk bags using manual methods such as fork trucks, baseball bats, and other ad hoc solutions.
- Fully Guarded Safety: Flexicon BULK-OUT bulk bag conditioners are equipped with a three-sided fixed safety cage. Operator access is controlled either by full-height doors or a light curtain system for enhanced safety.
- Integrated Conditioning and Unloading: Integrating conditioning and unloading into a single system eliminates the need for separate equipment, leading to lower initial investment.
- Reduced Labor Costs: Programmable controls and hydraulic systems minimize manual intervention, decreasing labor expenses associated with material handling.
- Ensures Smooth, Uninterrupted Flow: Maintains consistency of material flow to facilitate uninterrupted downstream process
- Effective Conditioning of Solidified Materials: Equipped with hydraulic rams and variable-height turntables, conditioners effectively crush and loosen materials that have solidified during storage, ensuring a consistent material flow.
- Contoured Hydraulic Ram Plates: Crush and loosen solidified bulk materials safely and easily.
- Automated Controls: Flexicon bulk bag conditioners are equipped with automated controls that simplify the conditioning process. An operator places a bag into the conditioner, and the system automatically completes the full conditioning cycle without requiring further intervention, ensuring consistent and efficient operation.
