Emptying stations for Octabin and Big Bag
OKTOMAT^® ECO

The basic emptying station for the most common bulk materials

Emptying system with vibrating suction head and automatic bag tightener

OKTOMAT^® systems, in combination with an existing vacuum suction conveyor system, are the ideal solution for emptying bulk materials from industrial containers.

The OKTOMAT^® ECO Series handles easily and effectively the emptying of all common types of big bags, octabins, folding boxes, lattice boxes, bulk bags with foil inlet, etc. Simply use a pallet jack to move the bulk bags, clamp the foil and the suction will follow without supervision and risk of interruption. The bulk bags will be completely emptied.

OKTOMAT^®ECO is ideally suited for the majority of applications.

Types of bulk bags

Applicable for all bulk bag types

The OKTOMAT^® handles easily and effectively the emptying of all common types of Big Bags, octabins, folding boxes, lattice boxes, bulk bags with foil inlet, aluminium-coated sacks, reusable containers, etc.

Oktabin Containers with foil inliner
Big-Bag Container with loops
Grid box Boxes with foil inliner

Just pallet jack will do

Simply use a pallet jack to move the bulk bags, clamp the foil/bag and the suction will follow without supervision and risk of interruption. The bulk bags will be completely emptied.

Materials

For all free-flowing bulk materials

OKTOMAT^® ECO emptying stations are ideally suited for all free-flowing bulk materials. Applicable for emptying and conveying of the following raw materials:

Granulates
Pellets
Fine resin
Flowable powders
WPC
Regrind
Activated carbon
Flowable foodstuffs

In addition, the OKTOMAT^®-SOS series are also capable of emptying poorly flowing materials due to its oscillating systems.

Vibrating suction head

The OKTOMAT^® uses a vibrating suction head instead of the suction pipe and the automatic bag tightening mechanism pulls the foil inlet or big bag upwards. The suction head floats and vibrates in the material and breaks up lumps. The loosened material flows towards the center where it is continuously sucked.

Suction head XL – 495 mm diameter (left)
Suction head S – 295 mm diameter (centre)
Suction head SM-AK C – 250 mm diameter (right)

More information about the suction heads.

Automatic complete emptying

During the suction process, the flexible bulk bag wall is pulled up and inwards via the automatic bag tightening system.

This causes forces to act on the material in the edge area. The bulk material flows to the central suction point.

At the end of the emptying process, the empty bulk bag is automatically lifted up from the bottom, enabling a complete material discharging.
