Digicolor Octabin Unloading Station

The Digicolor octabin unloading station is designed to empty granular raw material from the standard octabins used on the market. The octabin is placed under the station; a movable stainless steel suction probe goes down into the material and transfers the granulate into the line.

How does it work?

The station has no vacuum pump of its own; it is connected to the existing pneumatic conveying system. For plants that already have a central conveying line, it therefore needs no additional pump investment. It is operated from a Siemens LOGO control unit mounted on the frame. It is suitable for granules with a grain size of about 2 – 5 mm.

Layout

• Required floor space: 1.7 × 1.7 m
• Height: approx. 3.6 m
• Suction connection: 40 or 50 mm (60 mm on request)

The painted steel frame and the stainless probe make the station a more economical alternative to classic octabin feeding or octabin tilting stations. For suction from an octabin with an open lid, the octabin lid and suction lances can also be used; the station comes to the fore where the octabin has to be emptied completely and in a controlled way.
