Features & Benefits

Standard-duty design handles a maximum bag size of 24 inches wide x 31 inches long x 7 inches high.

Removable and adjustable leveling angles provide better control of different bagged products.

“Ruff-Top” liner prevents bag damage to eliminate bag tearing or pinching.

La section de scalpage des fibres permet d'éliminer les saletés et les débris.

Heavy duty, natural frequency bag flattener unit is precisely tuned to specific stroke, frequency, and angle of incline to flatten and convey bagged bulk solids.

Nos aplatisseurs de sacs sont réputés pour leur facilité d'installation, leur faible maintenance et leur temps d'immobilisation minimal.

Equipment Options & Accessories

Bag Size Accommodation & Configurations

Custom conveyor widths and lengths to match the bag sizes and throughput requirements of your operation beyond standard dimensions. Ability to reconfigure leveling angles and contact surfaces for larger or unusually shaped bags.

Material & Construction Options

Choice of rugged construction materials suitable for your environment (e.g., heavier gauge steel or corrosion-resistant finishes). Liners and belt materials selected to minimize bag abrasion or damage.

Integration & Controls

Options for variable speed drives or control packages to synchronize flattening action with upstream bag fillers or downstream palletizers. Interconnection readiness for automation and safety systems. (Typical for engineered conveyors)

Dust Control & Fines Removal

Built-in fines scalping and debris removal sections to help maintain cleanliness and reduce contamination risks before palletizing.

Throughput & Performance Tuning

Engineers can adjust stroke, frequency, and inclines to optimize performance for specific bag weights, material properties, and conveyor speeds.

Applications

Palletizing Preparation

Uses controlled vibration and compression to flatten filled bags and evenly distribute product before palletizing. Consistent bag profiles improve stacking stability, pallet density, and automated handling reliability.

Air Removal & Product Settling

Removes entrained air and settles loose bulk material within filled bags through controlled vibration and compression. Densification creates a compact, uniform package for more stable downstream handling.

Packaging Line Integration

Integrates into continuous packaging systems to condition filled bags before checkweighing, metal detection, labeling, palletizing or wrapping. Controlled conveying and flattening maintain production rates while providing repeatable bag dimensions for automated equipment.

Food & Agricultural Products

Conditions bags containing grains, feed, ingredients, and other bulk products through controlled settling and flattening. Gentle vibration redistributes material while improving package uniformity and pallet stability.

Chemical & Mineral Processing

Flattens bags of powders, granules, and mineral products like cement, lime and sand using engineered vibration and compression. Controlled product redistribution produces consistent bag geometry for reliable conveying, palletizing, and storage.

Stretch Wrapping & Load Securing

Creates flatter, more uniform bags that form stable pallet layers before stretch wrapping. Improved load geometry reduces voids and shifting while supporting tighter, more effective load containment.

High-Volume Automated Facilities

Provides continuous bag conditioning at production-line rates for automated packaging operations. Repeatable flattening and product distribution improve compatibility with robotic palletizers, conveyors, and downstream load-handling systems.

Bag Flatteners FAQs

What is the purpose of a bag flattening conveyor?

A bag flattening conveyor compresses filled bags to remove trapped air, evenly distribute product, and create a uniform, stable profile before palletizing or shipping. This improves stackability and reduces load shifting during transport.

What types of bags can Carrier’s bag flatteners handle?

Carrier’s bag flattening conveyors are designed to accommodate paper, poly, woven polypropylene, and multi-wall bags containing powders, granules, pellets, and other dry bulk materials.

Where should a bag flattening conveyor be installed in a packaging line?

Bag flatteners are typically installed after the bag filling and sealing station and before palletizing, stretch wrapping, or robotic handling systems to ensure consistent bag shape and height.

How does a bag flattener improve pallet stability?

By compressing and leveling each bag, the system creates a more uniform pallet layer. This reduces voids, minimizes leaning, and improves overall load integrity during storage and shipment.

Can Carrier customize a bag flattening conveyor for my application?

Yes. Carrier Vibrating Equipment can engineer bag flatteners to meet specific throughput rates, bag sizes, material characteristics, and integration requirements within existing or new packaging lines.

What industries commonly use bag flattening conveyors?

Industries such as agriculture, food processing, pet food, chemicals, minerals, cement, and specialty powders commonly use bag flatteners to improve packaging efficiency and pallet quality.

What maintenance is required for a bag flattening conveyor?

Carrier designs equipment for durability and ease of maintenance. Routine inspections, belt or roller checks (depending on configuration), and standard mechanical servicing help ensure long-term reliable operation.
