Greater cleanliness, safety and control with WAMGROUP’s FIBC Dischargers Anti-Dust System SBB-ADS

Dust emissions, manual intervention on the machine and difficulties in achieving complete discharge – especially with compacted or poorly flowing materials – can all undermine efficiency, safety and operational continuity.

The Big Bag discharger SBB-ADS, featuring the Anti-Dust System developed by WAMGROUP, has been designed to address these challenges in line with the Group’s philosophy: delivering technological solutions that are simple, reliable and focused on operator safety.

Based on a proven design widely used in industrial applications, the SBB-ADS is a FIBC discharging station that has been further re-engineered to enhance dust containment, ergonomics and ease of cleaning. The result is a robust and versatile machine, suitable for integration into both new installations and existing processing lines.

Dust containment: the Anti-Dust System

Minimising operator exposure to dust is essential to ensure safe working conditions. For this reason, the main feature of the new SBB-ADS is the interface between the FIBC and the discharge hopper, engineered to enable simple and secure connection of the Big Bag discharge spout.

The interface geometry and the closure system developed by WAMGROUP provide a dust-tight connection, significantly reducing contamination of the surrounding environment. The machine is designed to operate in combination with dust collectors, either integrated or external, depending on product characteristics and application requirements.

For particularly dusty products or fine-grained materials, SBB-ADS can also be combined with dedicated dust filtration units such as WAMGROUP’s innovative inTUBE™ Dust Collector, ensuring healthier working conditions in full compliance with environmental regulations.

Efficient discharge, even with difficult materials

When handling compact powders or materials with poor flow properties, the new SBB-ADS is equipped with a Big Bag discharge support system specifically designed to promote consistent and regular product flow.

The system enables controlled, complete or partial discharging of the FIBC, reducing the need for manual intervention and contributing to greater process continuity. Depending on the application, SBB-ADS can be fitted with flow aids such as electric vibrators, further improving operational efficiency.

The metal structure, manufactured from steel and dimensioned for heavy-duty industrial applications, ensures stability, long-term reliability and safety during Big Bag lifting and discharging operations.

Ergonomics, operator safety and ease of cleaning

During the design of the machine, particular attention was paid to ergonomics and operator safety. The FIBC fastening and opening systems have been developed to simplify handling, reduce set-up times and minimise the risk of errors during connection.

The station’s surfaces are designed to be easily accessible and quick to clean, limiting product build-up. This is a particularly important aspect in the food, feed, plastics and chemical industries, where hygiene, frequent product changes and contamination prevention are essential requirements.

Modularity and plant integration

The SBB-ADS Big Bag dischargers feature a modular design and is suitable for a wide range of industrial sectors. More generally, it can be integrated into different types of plants together with various WAMGROUP machines, including screw conveyors, rotary valves, feeders and mixers.

WAMGROUP quality guaranteed

The FIBC discharger SBB-ADS is designed and manufactured by WAMGROUP in accordance with the ISO 9001 certified quality management system. This approach ensures standardised design and manufacturing processes, systematic checks on critical components and reliable performance over time.

For customers, this translates into an industrial-grade solution supported by WAMGROUP’s global network of subsidiaries and distributors.
