Bag Dump Stations

Young's bag dump and bulk bag handling stations optionally include a self-contained filter/fan system with all controls and automatic operation to provide complete dust control, ensuring that the operator's environment is free from dust from the dumped product.

There are several advantages to providing the filtering system at the dump station, as opposed to sending the air to a central dust collector.

The dust collected on the dump station's filter system is (usually) returned into the hopper with the rest of the dumped product from the bag. This means that it is not lost product. This will add to a significant amount of product recovery as well as significant monetary savings.
Very often the dust control provided by dump stations that are connected to a central dust collection system do not provide adequate dust control. There are many reasons for this; sometimes the dust collector is very far from the dump station making for high pressure losses in the ducting, sometimes it is simply the central dust collector is already overburdened. Young has solved this problem with their intelligently designed bag dump station.

The dump stations come in a variety of standard sizes and designs, however Young custom designs them to the application.

Some common optional items:

Empty Bag Compactor - This unit is attached directly to the dump station and ensures that the empty bag is disposed of while never leaving the dust control zone!

If you have an application, and you require something custom designed, let us know, and we will be happy to provide it.

Combined Bulk Bag and Paper Bag Dump Station - Young can supply a combined station to empty both paper and bulk bags for addition of major and minor ingredients in a system. The unit includes a retractable bulk bag support pan.
