A leading chemical manufacturer contacted Material Transfer, looking for a solution to unload four different types of pharmaceutical powders from both bulk bags and drums, into one common outlet. The materials were as small as 20 microns in diameter and often caked, smeared, bridged, and packed during routine material handling. This system needed to be easy to clean, constructed from a polished 304 stainless steel, and designed for Class I & II, Division II, Group C, D, and G service.

Their product line includes container, drum, and bulk bag discharging systems as well as bulk bag fillers and conditioners.
