AMKCO Bag Dump Station
The AMKCO Bag Dump Station is designed for manual bag emptying with dust control, improving operator safety, hygiene, and process efficiency. It is ideal for unloading small-volume powder or granular bags into a downstream process while preventing product loss and airborne contamination.
Using negative pressure airflow, the system draws dust into an integrated filtration zone, ensuring clean air release and a dust-free working environment. Constructed from stainless steel, the AMKCO Bag Dump Station is fully compliant with the hygiene and safety requirements of the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.
Working Principle
Operators manually place and open bags over a screening inlet. As the material is discharged, the system’s built-in dust extraction uses negative pressure (optional) to pull fine particles away from the operator area into a filter chamber or dust collection system.
Filtered material proceeds through a vibrating screen or directly into a collection hopper, depending on configuration. This ensures:
- Dust-free operation
- Clean product transfer
- Reduced material loss
Product Feature
Integrated Dust Extraction System (optional)
Uses negative pressure suction to trap airborne dust, keeping both product and environment clean.

Easy-to-clean surfaces, available in 304 or 316L stainless steel to meet HACCP, GMP, or FDA standards.
Operator-Friendly Access Design
Ergonomic bag support shelf with safety grid and hinged front door for easy loading and minimal lifting strain.
Product Advantage
Dust-Free Manual Bag Handling
Protects operators from inhaling dust and minimizes product loss from dispersion.
Prevents Cross-Contamination
Dust containment and filtration avoid contamination of surrounding production areas.
Improves Hygiene and Housekeeping
Reduces the need for external vacuum cleaning and frequent floor maintenance.
FAQ
What types of materials is this station suitable for?
It is ideal for handling powders, granules, resins, starches, spices, and other dry ingredients.
Does it include a screening function?
Yes, it can be fitted with a vibrating screen or sieve deck beneath the dump area to remove oversized contaminants.
Is this system compatible with food-grade processes?
Yes. All contact parts are available in stainless steel 304 or 316L, and meet food/pharma safety standards.
What is the airflow principle?
It uses negative pressure (vacuum suction) to capture airborne dust into an internal filter or ducted system.
Can it be connected to a central dust collection system?
Yes. It can be configured with standalone filters or integrated into plant-wide dust control systems.
What sizes or capacities are available?
Models are customizable based on bag size, frequency of dumping, and required screen size or discharge flow.
