About the Stark Big Bag Breaker
The Stark Big Bag Breaker (also known as a super sack unloader or bulk bag discharging station) is an industrial-grade solution designed for the safe, dust-free, and efficient unloading of cement, fly ash, and other dry powders. Utilizing a high-performance vertical screw conveyor, this system ensures a steady, controlled material flow from Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs).
By allowing direct and automated discharge into storage silos or cement bulk trailers, the unit significantly minimizes material waste, controls dust emissions, and eliminates severe on-site operational risks associated with manual bag handling. Built from heavy-duty carbon steel (S235JR/S275JR), and equipped with a powerful side vibrator and an integrated dust collector, it guarantees a clean, reliable, and low-maintenance continuous process.
How the Bulk Bag Unloading Station Works
Efficiency in bulk powder handling relies on continuous operation. Once a super sack is placed into the unloading frame via a forklift or hoist, the bag is safely opened over the discharge hopper. The integrated side vibrator ensures that even compacted materials flow freely without bridging. The material then drops into the vertical screw conveyor, which lifts and transfers the cement or powder at a rate of up to 45 cubic yards per hour directly into your downstream equipment, all while the dust collector mitigates airborne particles.

FAQ – Big Bag & Super Sack Breakers
01. Where can the Big Bag Breaker unload cement?
Our bulk bag unloading station is highly versatile. It can discharge cement directly into storage silos, concrete batching plants, or pneumatic dry bulk trailers, depending on your project’s logistics.
02. How is the material discharged from the super sack?
Once the bag is opened in the hopper, the system utilizes a high-capacity vertical screw (auger) conveyor combined with a hopper vibrator. This mechanical combination ensures a constant, anti-clogging, and safe material flow.
03. What maintenance is required for the FIBC unloader?
To maintain peak system efficiency, we recommend regular inspection and cleaning of the vertical screw conveyor, periodic replacement of the dust collector filters, and routine checks on the vibrator motor.
