Built on a long-standing, field-proven design, SBB-ADS is a next-generation stationary FIBC discharging system, re-engineered to deliver higher sealing performance, improved ergonomics and better cleanability. It is a robust, scalable solution for companies who need a reliable platform to integrate into new or existing lines.
Dust control at the core: integrated Anti-Dust System
At the heart of SBB-ADS lies the FIBC loading interface, specifically engineered to make the connection of the bag outlet both simple and safe, while minimising operator exposure. The interface provides a highly effective dust-tight seal, preventing product leakage and contamination of the surrounding environment.
The system is equipped with an integrated Anti-Dust System and a built-in dust filter optimised for particle sizes above 50 µm. For applications involving even finer powders, a dedicated external filter unit can be added. An additional gasket at the FIBC-to-hopper connection, available for the carbon-steel version, further minimises dust leakage paths.
The result is a cleaner and healthier working environment, reduced material loss and tangible support in complying with increasingly strict dust emission limits.
Reliable discharge performance, even with challenging materials
A distinctive feature of SBB-ADS is its petal-shaped flow aid system. This design enables full or partial discharge of the Big Bag in a controlled way, maintaining high efficiency even with compacted or difficult-to-empty materials.
To further support material flow, SBB-ADS includes:
- an electric motovibrator as an additional discharge aid;
- increased structural thickness, upgraded from 4 mm to 6 mm for enhanced robustness and long-term stability;
- a pneumatic FIBC closure system that allows the operator to start, stop or modulate discharge according to downstream process requirements.
For the plant, this translates into less manual handling of the bag, fewer stoppages related to flow disruptions and more predictable feeding of downstream equipment such as screw conveyors, rotary valves, dosing systems and mixers.
Operator safety, ergonomics and hygiene
SBB-ADS has been developed with a strong focus on the operator experience. The system features a side-mounted quick-lock mechanism that ensures faster, safer access and helps reduce set-up time and the likelihood of handling errors during bag connection and opening.
Internal and external surfaces are designed for easy cleaning and minimal material build-up, which is crucial in industries such as food, feed, chemicals and pharmaceuticals where hygiene, product changeover and cross-contamination are daily concerns.
Modular design for easy integration
SBB-ADS is built around a modular design concept, enabling configuration according to the bulk material handled, FIBC size and weight, plant layout and required downstream connections. Key options include:
- an electronic control panel with customisable settings based on material properties;
- an inTUBE™ Dust Collector equipped with nano-fibre media for enhanced dust capture efficiency.
This flexibility makes SBB-ADS suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. WAMGROUP’s solution portfolio places it in sectors such as Building & Construction (drymix building materials, brick and roof tile production, marble processing) and Feed & Food, among others dealing with powders and granular materials.
Quality and certifications
SBB-ADS is designed and manufactured within WAMGROUP’s ISO 9001-certified quality management system, audited and certified by TÜV SÜD at corporate level.
For users, this means:
- traceable design and manufacturing processes;
- systematic control of critical components and assemblies;
- consistent performance at industrial scale throughout the product lifetime.
Who benefits from SBB-ADS
SBB-ADS is the ideal choice for:
- plant designers and process engineers developing Big Bag-based feeding and dosing systems;
- production and maintenance managers looking to reduce downtime, manual intervention and product loss;
- companies seeking a standardised, scalable solution aligned with international best practices in bulk solids handling.
