Material Transfer and Storage, Allegan, MI 800-836-7068 www.materialtransfer.com Bulk bag unloader uses regulated vibration to achieve positive material discharge Model 821 bulk bag unloader achieves positive material discharge using regulated vibration uniformly applied to the unloader's body, and in turn the bulk bag. Unit's vibratory action is produced by an adjustable heavy-duty motorized vibrator, powered by a TENV (AC) motor. Unit's motor induces vibratory forces to transfer from the unloader's body into the bag and the material. Unit has an independently mounted iris valve with a bag spout untie receptable attached, which flexibly connects to the outlet of the unloader. Acrison, Moonachie, NJ 201-440-8300 www.acrison.com
