Sanitary Bulk Bag Dischargers by National Bulk Equipment, Inc.
Sanitary bulk bag dischargers, designed and built by NBE, provide
increased product safety confidence by integrating HACCP-driven
cleanability and accessibility features into the system's construction.
Structural beams and cross members are angled away from product zones,
or turned 45º to horizontal to prevent material buildup and pooling. To
prevent microbial accumulation, product-area weld seams are ground to a
No. 4 finish, and hand-burnished to eliminate pits, dimples, and
crevices.
To speed cleaning and validation, material release openings
are designed into joints and angles, reducing material buildup. Product
safety and protection of personnel are enabled by the big bag
discharger's closed-cycle contaminant prevention system. To help
improve FSMA readiness, the sanitary design of NBE big bag unloaders
also includes automation and controls communication that delivers
standardized, system-wide data reports to aid verification and record
keeping.
Run time - 3:29 minutes.
