Loading Bellows

What Are Loading Bellows?

Loading bellows are generally mounted underneath storage silos, to out-load and filter bulk materials vertically to stockpilers, trucks, ships or any form of bulk material handling equipment. The compact chamber prevents dust emission during the out-loading of powders or granular materials, with no physical contact required by the operator. Loading bellows can also be found at the rear of conveyors such as our screw feeders or pneumatic conveying systems, to allow bulk materials to flow efficiently from one storage solution to another. Our range of loading bellows can be manually or remotely operated and have been designed using our unique expertise in manufacturing equipment for bulk material handling.
