Bulk Bag Deblocking Rams

NBE's automated Bag Discharger provides loss-in-wieght feeding of various food ingredients in a safe and efficient manner

A multi-national household products conglomerate had an application to introduce a dry powder, methyl cellulose, into a liquid mix tank without agglomerates or fisheyes. Methyl cellulose is a finely divided, extremely hygroscopic powder that has poor flow properties. It is used as a thickening or extending agent.
