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.

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.

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 pulled up from the bottom, enabling a complete material discharging.
