Minibag - more than just an alternative to drums

Worth rethinking

Big bags have been in place for some time as a strong alternative to rigid containers such as containers. But it is also a small number. For bulk materials are in batches or package sizes with a volume of up to 200 l used in the production process, manufacturers are predominantly a barrel. The appropriate alternative, especially for international transport services of raw materials, are Minibag.

The closed filling of drums is usually only in comparison to empty the small challenge, depending on whether the filling is volumetrically or gravimetrically, the barrel directly under the filling and is positioned on a weighing device. Be used for the barrels open foil bags inside, this includes the operator simply plugs directly into a filling head and seals it with a corresponding device, for example Blähdichtung, Blähschlauch etc., from. Come endless screen systems such as a Endlosfolienbefüllkopf used, the film must be pulled from the continuous sheet to the bottom of the drum cartridge. Subsequently, the filling process by opening a shutoff or metering to start. Since the system is operated closed, the displaced air escapes through a dedusting. Is the barrel finally or fully achieved the desired target weight, the filling is stopped, closed the liner or the continuous film and separated.
You want to empty the barrels but also closed, it requires some technical know-how. Barrels have finally only an opening through which both are filled as well drained. This usually works with suction lances or tipping over a barrel. For containment applications, suction lances divorce in many cases, however, because the risk is too great that the film will hurt the barrel with the suction pipe and thus it can lead to contamination.
