The Sweeper Unloading System from Maguire, automatically unloads material from bulk boxes. It sweeps the top level of polymer to a slotted pickup tube that vacuums pellets through a flexible suction hose. Its descending and rotational motion maintains uninterrupted action. This includes material swept into the container’s corners, with less than 4kgs of material remains in the container.
Octobins are notoriously difficult to completely empty and the pickup probe needs frequent adjustment. The sweeper is designed to remove approximately 99% of virgin material from an octobin-type container.
