FLUIDISING LINERS & BULKHEAD SYSTEMS
This liner is used for a number of difficult to discharge materials using the ‘bag-in-box’ concept. Some materials can be difficult to discharge because of their material characteristics. Products can awkwardly agglomerate (clump together) and block. This normally calls for some manual intervention usually involving air vibrators or men with hammers.
The fluidised liner negates the necessity for such actions. It is made from a flexible material that resembles bubble wrap. The spaces between the bubbles create the plenum and fill up with air in a two dimensional network, providing a channel for the fluidising air to pass through the plenum by the addition of compressed air at low pressure. This fluidising air then passes through a perforated surface into the product material above and reduces the friction between the particles of the material and the floor surface of the liner, leading to the material contents sliding out the discharge sleeve.
The fluidised liner has been shown to be ideal for ‘sticky’ cohesive materials such as, starch, flour and certain speciality chemicals. The liner is made from food grade film, which meets all current FDA, UK, and EU food legislation and is manufactured to ISO 22000, making it ideal for all food powders not suited to traditional liners.
No matter the filling and discharging systems you have in place, we can provide a solution to suit your needs. Our liners are manufactured from blown polyethylene or woven polypropylene. Liners are used for a wide and constantly growing range of granular and powder products, as well as bulk liquids, as a highly cost effective and time saving alternative to sacks and bags.

POPULAR CONFIGURATIONS:
Blown Polyethylene or Woven Polypropylene container liners can be supported with steel bars. Fabric bulkheads can be independent or have fully integrated fabric fronts supported by steel bars. Airbags are available for discharge.
Filling and discharging sleeves can be located off-center, enabling one door to remain closed for additional support. Full width triangular discharge eliminates the need for corner boards. Containers with topfill and "letter box" discharge hatches do not require bulkheads as the doors remain closed. |
