Graco SaniForce Bin Unloader: a fast and efficient unloading system.
The SaniForce Bin Unloader is a clean method to unload materials from 1192-liter containers, eliminating manual scooping or bin dumping. Without contaminating, diluting or heating the product, the unloader achieves up to 99% evacuation rates of high viscosity ingredients. Once the Combo Fructus is placed below the unloader, the ramp plate and pump is lowered into to the container, just above the product. The seal is inflated to hermetically seal of the bin. When the pumping starts, the product is moved out of the container and the plate with inflatable seal travels down into the container, scraping the product from the sides of the container. The product waste is minimal and the transfer perfectly hygienic.

Both the Combo Fructus and SaniForce Bin Unloader are automation-friendly which allows saving in labor and increases the process
efficiency. The combination of the products saves time and energy during cleaning thanks to the flange connections at the unloader and the fast-drying design of the IBC. Up to 7 folded Combo Fructus' can be pilled in a standard truck, reducing logistic costs and the environmental impact. Maximising the life span is also a way to increase its cost-effectiveness, that's why all parts can be replaced, as well as the skids thanks to a unique and innovative bayonet fixing system. Schoeller Allibert ensures the complete recycling of all its products such as the Combo Fructus, which lowers environmental impact. The SaniForce Bin Unloader has up to 99% evacuation rate reducing waste and saving water.
