For companies handling bulk materials, shifting from 50-pound bag handling to bulk bag handling systems often seems like an obvious move to achieve greater productivity. However, this transition comes with significant challenges, including the need for material handling automation modifications that impact the entire production process. These changes can be costly, time-consuming, and disruptive.

Enter the IntelliBreak^TM Robotic Bag Break Station, a solution in automation technologies that meets production where it is. IntelliBreak allows businesses to optimize their existing workflows with 50-pound bags while preparing for future scalability without needing immediate and expensive modifications. It is the perfect solution for companies exploring transitioning from traditional bag handling systems to bulk material handling solutions in their manufacturing operation.

The Challenge of Switching to Bulk Bags

Switching from 50-pound bags to bulk bags can bring notable efficiencies, including reduced handling time and lower material costs. However, the operational impact of such a transition is often underestimated.

‍

This shift requires significant changes, such as:

‍

• Storage Upgrades: Bulk bags take up more space and often require different storage solutions.
• Conveyor and Feeding Modifications: Existing equipment designed for 50-pound bag handling may not accommodate the capacity of bulk bag handling systems without costly redesigns.
• Process Redesign: Bulk bags often necessitate updates across the entire production line, from material loading to discharge systems.
• Increased Investment: These modifications mean more capital spent, adding pressure to already tight budgets.

‍

The benefits of bulk material handling solutions are clear for many companies, but the upfront costs and downtime associated with these modifications can be major roadblocks.
