Systems and Components

Big-Bag Emptying Station

Systems for product picking from big-bag emptying stations. Three versions are available:

  • SB1: Only lower structure (the big-bag needs external support to be held).
  • SB2: Composed of lower structure and upper bracket to support the big-bag (the big-bag needs a forklift to be moved).
  • SB3: Composed of lower structure and prepared with rail for hoist.

In addition to these standard models, customized versions can be provided, both in height and in drain configurations.

They can be built with either “petal” technology or vibration systems. In both versions, construction can be in painted steel or stainless steel, depending on sector needs. Integrated weighing systems can also be included.

Buffer Hoppers

Containers made of stainless steel AISI 304, used for the withdrawal of the product.

Circular, square, and vertical wall models are available, with capacities ranging from 15 to 600 liters.

All versions can be equipped with:

  • Level control
  • Vibrator to facilitate product descent
  • Air fluidification valve
  • Wheels
  • Optional cover

Systems and Components

Manual Bag Emptying Station

All the bag breakers are produced in stainless steel AISI 304. If required, the parts in contact with the product can be made of different steels depending on the materials to be loaded.

Stations with different capacity volumes are available. All versions can be equipped with:

  • Pneumatic vibrator to facilitate material discharge
  • Electric lump breaker for agglomerated products

In addition, stations can be fitted with suction and filtering systems that include automatic filter cleaning.

Shredders and Lumps Breakers

Shredders are designed to shred plastic or paper waste, enabling the compaction of waste and its subsequent direct reuse in the production process.

Taking advantage of high speed and large cutting capacity, the shredder can reduce the volume of sucked waste up to 20 times.

Lumps breakers are designed to break agglomerations of product created inside bags, shredding it into a form that is pneumatically transportable.

Vibrating Screen (under vacuum and at ambient pressure)

The screens meet the needs of various industries, with the aim of separating, sieving, dedusting and filtering a wide range of materials (powders and liquids) of various sizes.

RGS after years of experience in pneumatic vacuum conveying has developed this range of screens, which can be located into a pneumatic conveying line and can operate at high vacuums down to -850 mbar. Similarly, they can also operate without vacuum, but with direct gravity feed.

The construction characteristics of these machines allow very high flow rates, greater than traditional vibrating screens with the same diameters. Among the main prerogatives, we underline the possibility of quick disassembly of all parts, allowing for complete cleaning and sanitization.

ADVANTAGES

  • Reduced vertical footprint
  • Compact and easy to handle
  • High performance
  • High-capacity control sieving
  • Quick disassembly (speedy clamp)
  • Ease of cleaning and sanitization

Weighing System

Pneumatic conveying systems can include weighing by loss or sum of weight. These systems can be integrated with hoppers, product outlets, or dosing systems depending on the application.

Multiple systems can be configured to transport different products in specified quantities to a single user point, with recipe management capabilities. All parameters can be set via the operator panel on the electrical control panel.

The weighing can take place by difference, weighing the silos or emptying the big-bag and transporting the amount of material needed, until reaching the pre-set weight, alternatively it is possible to carry out the weighing phase on the hopper, Batch weighing, until the set weight is reached, this technology is proprietary to RGS Vacuum Systems, as both the hardware and software part are developed within the company.

Auger Dosing Systems

They consist of a storage container, an extractor organ and a balance (optional) that controls the variations in weight during the unloading of the product

The balance combined with a dedicated software makes the dosing machine able to operate for weight difference and/or as batch or continuous dosing machine.

These systems are designed to dose powdery materials. In this case, the recharging of the material in the container is always managed by the control panel, without interrupting the dosing.

Dosing and Extraction Systems with Vibrating Channels

The vibrating channel dosing systems are used to handle or dose different types of granular products or powders with variable flow rates, they can be made of both carbon steel and AISI 304/316L stainless steel.

These products are designed and built by RGS Vacuum Systems as the management software.
