 Bulk bag dischargers are also commonly known as bulk bag unloaders, dumpers, bag frames, FIBC dischargers, and FIBC unloaders. Over the past few decades, NBE earned the reputation for supplying the best bulk bag discharger and related equipment that money can buy. Since the early 1990's bulk bags have rapidly penetrated a variety of process industries due to their potential overall cost savings versus small bags, drums, barrels, bins, gaylords, and other rigid containers. Yet, many manufacturers and processors who converted to bulk bags from barrel, bin, gaylord, or other containers during these times didn't achieve the total potential cost savings. These users were unaware of the many material handling issues that resulted from the installation of poorly designed and constructed bulk bag unloader equipment and systems.
Recognizing that providing material discharging solutions associated with unloading material out of bulk bags was only half the answer to our customers' needs, NBE's Forward Thinking philosophy brings bulk bag discharger design up to the process integration level. NBE's bulk bag discharger equipment can consistently provide a reliable and repeatable material supply from the bulk bag unloading equipment to your process, all at a rate that optimizes the capacity of your entire system. And, as you well know, a reliable material supply is critical to the performance of every dry bulk material processing and manufacturing system.
Excessive dust, product loss, downtime, and operator safety were all problems being faced by companies with inferior bulk bag unloaders. But, from our first bulk bag discharger in the mid 1980's to our fully-automated bulk bag discharging systems of today, NBE's intensive focus is to provide our customers with safe, efficient, dust-free, and complete material discharge and handling. This commitment to all of our dry bulk material processing and manufacturing customers has resulted in our achieving a market leader status for the supply of bulk bag discharging equipment.
NBE will configure the proper bulk bag support frame, hanger bar, material flow aid, spout interface, safety features and material transfer equipment that is optimal for your processing system, your dry bulk material handling needs, and your budget.
Features And Options
When it comes to handling dry materials, three decades of experience in designing and manufacturing bulk bag dischargers for unloading dry bulk materials has certainly taught NBE one thing - no two bulk materials or process applications are the same. The wide variety of available bulk bag styles, dry material characteristics, process demands, bag dimensions, and application constraints makes it impossible for most manufacturers to design a bulk bag unloader when they only offer limited models. This is why NBE pioneered the modular-designed bulk bag discharger many years ago. With the broadest range of discharger configurations available for bulk bag unloading, it is clear why NBE is the market leader in supplying bulk bag dischargers for specific bag unloading applications throughout multiple processing and manufacturing industries.
Automation And Integration
 NBE will custom design bulk bag dischargers (also referred to as bulk bag unloaders) based on the process needs of your application. Consideration of the discharger's function within the larger process is built into every discharger system we make. NBE designs beyond the simple stuff like ensuring bag fit within the unloader frame or considering bag unloading height, available floor space and ceiling height. NBE designs to the deeper questions. How will material be introduced to the discharger? What material characteristics might alter the method of bag unloading? What is the best method of transferring the material from the discharger to the process? What is the optimal processing rate, plant sanitary requirements, opportunities for automation and other considerations necessary for successful integration of the equipment into the process? Regarding the discharge of your material from the unloader to your process, NBE will select the best method to fit your process needs.
For applications where it's difficult for a bag unloader to discharge material directly into your process, NBE first analyzes your material and downstream system. We then select the optimal system to transfer the material from the bulk bag to the heart of your process. Screw conveyors, pneumatic conveyors, belt conveyors, bucket elevators, drag conveyors, etc. can all be seamlessly integrated into your process along with an NBE bulk bag discharger.
Regardless of the type of machine linked to your new NBE bulk bag discharger, our goal is to improve your bottom line through the improved efficiency of your process equipment. And, to further ensure that your custom designed NBE bulk bag discharge system will be perfectly tuned to unload in synchronization to your process, it is extensively factory tested using your product and containers prior to shipment.
 Current advances in PLC control technology make automating bag unloading system processes more economical than ever before and directly reduce bag unloading labor costs. That's why, at NBE we offer our bulk bag dischargers with everything from simple automated bag unloading tasks to fully automated bulk bag discharger systems. The real result of intelligent automation from NBE is a drastic reduction in long term bulk bag unloading costs while increasing throughput due to the speed and timeliness of repetitive tasks.
NBE bulk bag dischargers allow for a wealth of automated functions throughout their operational cycles. Optional PLC controls automate a range of operations from simply starting and stopping material transfer conveyors, to automating the entire sequence of operations based on downstream process demands. Indeed, when integrated with material conveying, feeding and weighing technologies, our most complete automated systems can reduce human involvement to literally placing full bags into the discharge system and removing empty ones. All at a rate that optimizes the capacity of the entire process. Now that's Forward Thinking!
