What capacity can the system reach?

Project installations reach about 40 t/h with vertical lifts of roughly 40 m, but the figure is always confirmed against the material, container type, route and plant layout. Less demanding duties are sized accordingly.

Is dust a problem during container unloading?

The transfer runs along an enclosed path with extraction at the discharge point, so airborne dust is captured rather than released into the yard or workshop. The closed route also protects product from moisture and contamination.

Can the system feed a packing line as well as a silo?

Yes. Product can be routed to storage silos, mixers or process vessels, or taken straight to a ton-bag packer. Some plants use the same intake for both, with a diverter valve selecting the destination.

What information is needed for a proposal?

Please confirm the material and bulk density, container type and liner, required rate, discharge destination, available ground area and height, and any dust or explosion requirements.

Material Intake

Container Unloader

Name: Container Unloader
Brand: CYprocess
Availability: InStock

CYprocess container unloading systems — also called container dischargers or container-to-silo stations — empty powder and granules from shipping containers at ground level, so no pit or ramp is needed. Unloading and closed conveying are combined in one system.

Overview

About Container Unloader

How this equipment works in powder handling lines and what to consider when selecting it.

What the system does

Powder or granules are discharged from the container on an above-ground horizontal frame and conveyed straight into the next process step. Because unloading and transfer are one enclosed operation, dust stays contained and manual handling and product loss are both reduced.

Options and integration

Project installations reach about 40 t/h with vertical lifts of roughly 40 m, subject to material and layout. Product can be routed to storage silos, mixers or process vessels, or taken directly to a ton-bag packer, with a screw or pneumatic line carrying the material.

FAQ

Container Unloader FAQ

Common questions about selection, integration and quotation.

A pit requires civil works, ventilation and drainage, and it cannot be relocated. An above-ground system avoids that investment, keeps the working area level, and can be moved or re-laid out when the plant changes.
