BULK BAG DISCHARGE FRAME
*Please read this manual prior to installing your system.
1.
INTRODUCTION
Locating and installing the bulk bag discharge frame is a very important step in the proper
and efficient use of this equipment. We recommend that you follow these procedures to
achieve complete satisfaction.
2.
PRECAUTIONS
Please refer to the operation manual for the hoist and trolley for proper procedures
when using this device. For safety reasons, it is important to establish proper
connection to the bulk bag lifting frame and to operate the hoist and trolley in the
proper manner.
Do not rest a Bulk Bag on the safety frame cross brace. Doing so can interfere with
proper operation of the equipment and potentially create an unsafe condition.
Do not use the bulk bag discharge frame for materials other than what it was specified for.
If you add new materials please consult with FLEXICON CORPORATION before doing so.
Do not allow agglomerating or hygroscopic material to remain in the FLEXICON
®
bulk bag
discharge frame for extended periods of time. These materials may tend to set up or
become hard making it difficult to discharge the bulk bag.
Make sure the vent tube on the cover, if supplied, is fitted with a filter sock before
discharging a bulk bag.
Do not allow tools, rags, bags (other than bulk bags called for in the specifications) to
remain in or enter the system during its operation. Periodically check that all bolted
connections are tight, as they might become loose in transit or during operation.
Do not mount peripheral equipment on the bulk bag frame.
Do not allow individuals to stand on any part of the frame as bulk bags are being loaded
onto or unloaded from it.
