Bag Loading & Unloading

Streamline your workflow.

Don’t let loading and unloading become the limiting factor to your productivity. VAC-U-MAX offers clean, efficient solutions to quickly and safely move material to, from, and in between processes. Our systems don’t just speed up your workflow, they maximize material usage, improve compliance, and protect your workforce. Bulk bags in particular have been a game-changer in material cost, logistics, and manufacturing, and our systems are engineered to maximize those advantages.

A quick overview

• Bulk Bag Loading Systems: Efficiently fill bulk and semi-bulk bags (FIBCs, Super Sacks) with dry bulk materials for high-volume storage, transport within your process line, or distribution. Bulk bag loading is also an excellent method for collecting waste in processing lines and from central vacuum systems.
• Bulk Bag Unloading Systems: Efficiently transfer thousands of pounds of materials from bulk and semi-bulk bags (FIBCs, Super Sacks) directly into your processing line or into smaller storage containers.
• Activator^TM Bulk Bag Unloading Systems: Our Activator^TM systems integrate VAC-U-MAX bulk bag unloading systems with mechanical actuators that physically enhance flow promotion and maximize bag discharge, allowing you to utilize 50% less compressed-air and eliminating rods and seals.
• Bag Dump Stations: Manually empty bags (25-100lb) from pallets quickly and efficiently while reducing physical strain and minimizing dust exposure and material waste.
• LoadLifter^TM Bag Lift Assist: A pneumatically powdered system that helps operators lift and transfer heavy bags from pallets to processing equipment.
• Empty Bag Compactor: Our pneumatic bag compactor reduces the volume of empty bags, protects your workforce from fugitive dust, and dramatically cuts down on disposal costs.

Benefits of Automating Material Loading & Unloading

• Improve ergonomics: All of our systems are engineered with operators in mind, reducing physical strain and fatigue whenever possible. Cleanup and maintenance are easy, too, minimizing labor and downtime.
• Safety & compliance: VAC-U-MAX systems always focus on smart safety. Pneumatic systems are safe in combustible environments. Dust is contained to protect workers and prevent buildup within the workplace. (Clean air also protects your capital equipment!)
• Dust-control: Protect operators from direct exposure to materials and airborne dusts. Even our empty bag compactor designed to collect fugitive dust on the spot.
• Increase throughput: Efficiency and productivity are significantly increased when you streamline loading and unloading processes. Feed more material, feed it faster, and keep your process lines moving.
• Reduce material waste: Our systems are designed to maximize product usage and minimize the potential for accidental spills and contamination.
• Maximize efficiency: Not only do these systems safely and efficiently move material, they save money in supply chain and logistics costs. Bulk bags in particular have been a game-changer in logistics, maximizing shipping space, offering efficient, high-volume storage, and lowering the weight and cost of packaging. The bag compactor also significantly reduces the volume of empty bags, saving space and dramatically cutting down on disposal costs.
