Discharging Fish Food Ingredients From Bulk Bags
The ingredients handling system at fish food manufacturer Skretting of Longridge, Lancashire, UK was installed over 8 years ago by a specialist contractor who had included a simple bulk bag unloading arrangement which feed ingredients into a 'Spiroflow' Aero-Mechanical Conveyor. The Aero-Mechanical Conveyor lifts ingredients up to a horizontal screw conveyor feeding storage bunkers on the floor above. It was the 'simple' bulk bag unloading arrangement that proved to be the bottleneck in the production process and the cause of constant frustration to the operatives. Comprising just a lidded hopper with a spigot, to which the neck of the bulk bag was attached, the 'simple' bulk bag unloading arrangement required the presence of a fork lift truck for the duration of discharge as there was no other mans to support the bag. In addition, an operative had to be on standby to aid the flow of poor flowing or compacted products.
