Flexicon’s Bag Dump Stations are engineered to efficiently capture dust generated during the manual unloading of powders and bulk solids from a range of handheld bags and containers, returning the material to the hopper and minimizing waste. Bag Dump Stations prevent plant contamination, and reduce the need for cleaning remote dust collection sites.

Flexicon Bag Dump Stations (also known as sack tip stations or bag break stations) are designed to safely and efficiently manage dust during the manual unloading of powders and bulk solids. Each unit features a high-velocity vacuum fan and dual cartridge filters tailored to the application, ensuring clean operation and worker protection.
Simple Operation
Open the dust hood door, activate the fan, and dump material through the hopper screen.
High-Efficiency Dust Capture
Vacuum fan draws airborne particles away from the operator and into cartridge filters.
Automatic Filter Cleaning
Reverse-pulse system uses timed blasts of compressed air to dislodge dust buildup on the filters returning material to the hopper.
Continuous Performance
Alternating filter pulse maintains uninterrupted dust collection and system efficiency.
Worker Safety & Plant Cleanliness
Dust is collected at the source, minimizing contamination and material loss.
Flexicon Bag Dump Stations can be equipped with optional Bag Compactors, which significantly reduce waste volume while containing dust. A bag infeed chute through the side wall of the dust hood allows empty bags to be fed directly into the bag compactor by the operator causing dust generated from both dumping and bag disposal to be drawn onto the Bag Dump Station’s dual cartridge filters. A pneumatic air cylinder compresses bags into a removable bin for dust-free disposal. Safety interlocks prevent operation unless both the main and infeed chute doors are closed. The Bag Compactors are offered in sizes that accommodate 50 to 80 bags, and 100 to 150 bags, depending on thickness.
MOBILE CONFIGURATIONS
Flexicon offers mobile Bag Dump Stations designed for effective, dust-free material handling across various plant locations. The flexibility of these mobile configurations enhances operational efficiency by enabling the equipment to serve multiple functions in different areas, reducing the need for multiple stationary units.
SANITARY CONFIGURATIONS
Sanitary bag dump stations are constructed of stainless steel and feature continuous welds with NEMA-rated enclosures making them ideal for wash-down environments.
Hopper Options
Flexicon bag dump station hoppers are available with various outlet configurations to suit virtually any application. Some examples are:
GLOVE BOX
Pairing the manual bag dump station with an optional glove box creates a fully enclosed system for handling hazardous or sensitive materials. Integrated gloves allow operators to open and empty bags without direct contact, improving containment and minimizing exposure.
Explore the standard features of the Flexicon Manual Bag Dump Station.
Draws airborne dust away from the operator through two cartridge filters. Reverse pulse jets automatically return accumulated dust on filter surfaces to the hopper.
Directs the air flow from the vacuum fan ensuring efficient capture of dust from the bag dumping process.
Prevents the bag and other large foreign objects from entering the product stream.
Provides a sturdy support for manual bags during the unloading process.
Two pleated filter cartridges optimize dust collection with maximized surface area.
Uses timer-activated solenoid valves to deliver quick bursts of compressed air, dislodging dust from cartridge filters into the hopper for continuous, efficient dust collection.
Bag dump stations are well-suited for a variety of applications and plant environments. They can be paired with a broad range of equipment including the Flexicon product line.
Manual bag dump stations offer a reliable and efficient way to load materials into flexible screw conveyors.
Manual bag dump stations are an excellent choice for loading friable or delicate materials into tubular cable conveyors, helping to minimize product degradation during transfer.
For medium-volume material loading, manual bag dump stations provide a practical solution for pneumatic conveying systems.
Ideal for handling minor or micro ingredients, manual bag dump stations integrate seamlessly with larger weigh batching systems. When handling minor or micro ingredients in larger weigh batching systems, manual bag dump stations can be a great fit.
Flexicon can design your bag dump station to meet your unique needs. Explore some of the configurations we have developed for customers like you.
