Integral Dust Control For Dumping Paper Bags
Young Industries offers Six (6) standard size stations to cover a wide range of applications for dumping paper bags or drums. The size of the station is determined by the width of the inlet opening. With the range of units offered the user can determine what size station best meets their needs based on the physical size of the paper bags to be dumped in combination with the number of bags per batch. Our units have a rugged tubular grating to allow the operator to place the bag on the grating, cut the bag, and dump the contents into the hopper below.
Young Industries Self-Contained Filter Bag Dump Stations utilize pulse jet filter technology to continuously clean the filter bags or cartridges. Each unit has an integral fan and silencing chamber mounted within the housing. The fan draws dust from the bag dumping operation to the filter media located on the back interior of the stations. The dust is pulsed from the filter media and falls back into the hopper below. NO LOSS OF PRODUCT TO A CENTRAL DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM.

Construction
Our Filter Bag Dump Stations can be constructed of carbon steel or grades of 300 series stainless steel as standard. Other special metals and coatings are available as needed.
Configurations
Flange Mounted – This style has no hopper, but a large flange directly under the grating. This style is used for mounting directly to the top of a mixer or storage hopper.
Pyramid Hopper – This style has a small hopper transitioned to a round or square flange to match the process nozzle required.
Air Feeder Discharge – For vacuum convey systems our convenient air feeder discharge allows quick connection to a vacuum convey system.
One Station Does It All – We provide Filter Bag Dump Stations that can handle paper bags, drums, and bulk bags in the same station. This offers the flexibility to handle most any container that needs to be emptied into the process. Offered in several sizes and configurations this station does it all!
Conveying Systems
When needed Young Industries can provide a convey system to deliver powder to the process. We offer a wide variety of systems.
Mechanical Systems – The Transvair Aero-Mechanical Conveyor to convey product from the station to the process. This conveyor is normally used for conveying when the discharge vessel is within 60 ft.
Pneumatic Systems – Young Industries has a wide variety of pneumatic convey systems, both dilute and dense phase conveying available for our Filter Bag Dump Stations. Type and size are dictated on convey lengths and rates.
Stinger Fluidized Conveying – For handling fine cohesive powders our Stinger convey systems are available. The Stinger Systems keep the fine cohesive powders in a fluidized state.
Drum Dumping
Young Industries Self-Contained Filter Bag Dump Stations are often used for controlling dust when dumping drums of powder. We utilize a Portable Drum Dumper that is positioned in front of the station. The drum is positioned on the dumper and clamped in place.
The Dumper is then tilted to a 45-degree angle and the contents of the drum slide down the drum dumper chute into the filter bag dump station. Dust is drawn into the inlet opening of the station with the integral fan and filter. The addition of the Portable Drum Dumper makes it easy to handle drums and paper bags in the same station.

Empty Bag Compactors
Young Industries Empty Bag Compactors offer an efficient method to dispose of empty paper bags. Our bag compactors are pneumatically operated and can be attached to the side of any Filter Bag Dump Station. When the compactor is used in combination with the Filter Bag Dump Station, a chute connects the dump station to the bag compactor. The operator slides the empty paper bag into the compactor through the chute, never having to remove the bag from the dust containment area. When the compactor’s chamber is filled with empty bags, the operator initiates the compaction cycle through the pneumatic control panel provided.
The compactor is safety-interlocked with the bag dump station so that the charge door of the station must be closed for the compactor to operate. The compaction cycle is brief, and the paper bags are compressed into a heavy-duty plastic bag for disposal. A large side access door on the compactor allows for easy removal of the plastic bag.
Young Industries Empty Bag Compactors are provided in two standard sizes. The Model BC-1 compacts up to 120 bags per bundle while the larger BC-2 unit compacts up to 240 bags per bundle.
The standard compactor is constructed of carbon steel, but when needed can be provided of 300 series stainless steel. Since the unit is pneumatically operated it has no electrical connection and can be safely used in hazardous areas.
