Flexicon Block-Buster Hydraulic Bulk Bag Conditioner

The Block-Buster Bulk Bag Conditioner from Flexicon features a laser safety curtain that automatically stops the system’s hydraulic rams, scissor lift and turntable if the laser beam is obstructed, eliminating the need for safety-hinged doors and interlock switches for operator safety.

The conditioner loosens densely packed bulk solid materials in bulk bags by means of hydraulic rams with contoured end plates that press and release opposing sides of the bag. A hydraulically actuated, variable-height scissor lift with accordion-style dust skirt and turntable allows conditioning of the bag on all sides at all heights.

The number and pressure of hydraulic ram actuations, the height of the turntable and the number of 90º rotations are user adjustable. The system controller and hydraulic pump can be mounted on the exterior of the frame or remotely.

The conditioner is intended for bulk bags containing hygroscopic chemicals, certain types of spice blends, heat-sensitive products and other materials prone to solidifying to the point at which pneumatically actuated flow promotion accessories integral to bulk bag dischargers can be inefficient or ineffective.

Available as a standalone unit or integrated with bulk bag discharging systems, the unit measures 2210 x 3378 x 1981 mm, accommodates bulk bags of all popular sizes and requires only an electrical power connection for operation.
