National Bulk Equipment bulk bag unloader systems are not only designed and built specifically for food and pharmaceutical processing and packaging operations, but also help ensure compliance with domestic and international sanitary standards. The systems are further characterized by:
- A 304-2b stainless steel framework with continuous weld seams ground to a No. 4 finish, thus enabling clean-in-place sanitizing.
- 32-Ra component surface finishes and food-grade non-metal components to provide optimal material release, and resistance to corrosive foods, pharmaceuticals and cleaning chemicals.
- Tool-less component disassembly to speed cleaning and simplify inspection.
- Leverage of integrated automation to optimize uptime availability.
- The centralization of system-wide process control, communication, sensing, monitoring, and reporting to a single menu-driven, touch-screen HMI.
- High-speed Ethernet communications that deliver data to UL-listed panels.
- Support of process practice protocols in which 3-A accepted practices or other cGMPs are necessary.
- Compliance with UL 508A, Class I and II, Div. 1 and 2, Groups A – D, F and G, and NEMA 12 enclosures with a Type X purge.
