Transfers bagged powders into silos or lines

The bag lifter and emptying station from Agriflex is designed for unloading sacks into your storage or dosing system without working at height. Bags are placed on the floor, picked up by a self-tilting lifting device and raised to the pouring level, where the operator empties them into an enclosed hopper.

The emptying station can function as a small buffer silo or as a direct loading point into pneumatic conveying, enabling you to treat bagged ingredients as if they were supplied in bulk. Optional dust extraction and integrated sifting remove foreign bodies and improve workplace hygiene. Capacity and hopper design can be customised to your bag sizes and downstream flow requirements.

Use it to feed flour, sugar, seeds or premix into silos, or to top up micro-ingredient systems. By allowing operators to work from the ground with mechanical lifting, you reduce ergonomic risk and improve safety while maintaining continuous supply to your production line.

• Applications: Bakery, Biscuits, Confectionery, Premix handling
• End Products: Bagged bread flour, Bagged sugar, Seed mixes, Baking improver blends
• Processes: Emptying, Feeding, Conveying, Sieving (with sifter option)
• Equipment Groups: Bag emptying stations, Bag lifters
• Industry: Food, Bakery, Confectionery
• Department: Logistics, Processing
• Operation: Batch, Semi-continuous, Industrial
• Product Types: Powder, Granules, Seeds

Stores powders in self-supporting polygonal silos

The ESA silos from Agriflex are self-supporting panel silos made of AISI stainless steel, engineered specifically for food ingredients like flour and sugar. Butt-welded panels with external reinforcing ribs eliminate the need for internal tie-rods and flange couplings, improving hygiene and leak tightness compared with conventional panel silos.

Their regular polygonal geometry avoids right angles and stagnation zones, promoting complete, controlled emptying of the contents. This minimises ingredient build-up, simplifies cleaning and reduces the risk of product degradation. ESA silos are typically installed indoors, equipped with fabric or steel covers, and can be tailored in height and section to match your building constraints.

Connected to pneumatic conveying or screw discharge systems, they integrate into automated storage and dosing plants for industrial bakeries, biscuit lines and confectionery production. By combining ESA silos with Agriflex dosing, cooling and fermentation systems, you can stabilise dough quality while reducing manual handling and warehouse complexity.
