Specifics

  • Portal and suction head of stainless steel
  • High pressure capable
  • ATEX zone 2/22 optional

Application

OKTOMAT® CLEAN emptying stations are especially used in sensitive production areas with high degree of requirements.

Just transport the container by manual pallet truck, fasten the plastic liner/ bag and the automatic conveying can be started unsupervised, not running a risk of failure in conveying.

Suitable for all container types


The lifting ring can be attached to big bag loops The system can be easily adjusted from low to high bags. The OKTOMAT® system solves material flow without difficulty with common bulk material bags in industrial process such as

BigBag
all bags with loops



100% automatically emptying


The flexible bag is drawn upwards and inwards by means of automatic bag lifting operation. By decreasing bag diameter, the bulk material will be pushed towards the area of suction.



At the end of conveying, the bag is lifted from the floor, thus enabling complete removal. The shape of the bag bottom determines the achievable “level“ of complete emptying (almost 100% with liners with a round bottom and BigBags)

Suitable for all materials


All kinds of freely flowing materials can be removed by means of vibrating suction head. Even regrind, powders, fibre and other difficult cases are possible. The suction head will balance itself in the material, loosening clusters by vibration.


By means of the vibrating suction head the bulk material is loosened and can flow towards the suction area.





Options   special - solutions


The basic version of the OKTOMAT® system is suitable for most materials. Nevertheless there are special materials, which characteristics have to be considered if conveyed. Therefore there are a number of OKTOMAT® options.


The material can be fluidized in addition, the loosening is effected by compressed air pulses. An oscillating lifting ring solves the material flow or a raised suction head enables complete emptying of the conveying hose. Thus a corresponding discharging station can be adapted to the respective application in ideal way.

Technical equipment




Portal
Stable pedestal version of high quality stainless steel All components made of stainless INOX AISI 304 or AISI 316L






Height
The system is 10-fold adjustable in height to match to the ceiling height as well as the rope length of the suction head to adapt to different container heights


Lifting ring
The lifting ring can be attached to big bag loops. The system can be easily adjusted from low to high bags. Lifting ring made of stainless steel, INOX AISI 304



Suction head
Vibrating suction head to loosen and remove the bulk material. Suction head balances and vibrates in the material. Stainless steel AISI 316L, PUR conveying hose

Oktabag unit


There is an extremely extensive control version OKTABAG available as standard including intuitive operator guidance monitored on graphic display and indication of all operation status as well as 5 types of function.

The program run is individually preprogrammable using service and customer settings menus. The single functions can be activated/ deactivated as well so the operator has to select between manual or full automatic operation only. Up to 10 languages are selectable.



Continuous operation


Worldwide, thousands of OKTOMAT® - systems are operating under stringent conditions mostly in 3-shift operation in the food industry, but also in chemical and process engineering. Oktomat® - systems are constructed for industrial application and they are proved since 1996.

Manual pallet truck sufficient


Due to the suction from above the containers are only moved at ground level. A manual pallet truck is sufficient. Neither forklift trucks nor hoisting machine, cranes or tilting devices are necessary.

Automatic


OKTOMAT® -systems are generally self-sufficient and fit to each suction conveyor for bulk material. Once a minimum low pressure exists in the conveyor line the OKTOMAT® is connecting. Double units automatically switch to the next full Container on emptying signal.

24h service


Upon receipt of notice of failure and clarification of the actual situation with HELIOS service department
(Monday 8.00- Friday 12.00 h)
the necessary spare part will be sent to the customer by UPS within 24 h.

Installation


The OKTOMAT® CLEAN is pre-assembled packed delivered in a chip tray box and can be installed with the help of an instruction manual.

Maintenance-free


The emtying stations are virtually maintenance-free and service friendly to set up. Possibly necessary spare parts can be replaced by the customer with a few simple steps.
