Do You Need a Bulk Bag Conditioner?

A bulk bag conditioner (sometimes called a bulk bag
pre-conditioner or bulk bag massager) is often purchased
to assure good and consistent flow of dry ingredients
before they’re discharged. 

Clumps in dry ingredients can develop during transit, particularly if the ingredient
is hygroscopic, or has been exposed to extreme temperatures.  And bulk bags
that sit in storage can easily become compacted and flow-resistant. 

Many companies sell a bulk bag conditioner to solve this problem, but is the
problem the tendency of ingredients to become compacted, or a dry material
handling system that is unable to perform properly without help from a
bulk bag conditioner?

Ingredient Masters has specialized in the development and manufacture of
batching systems that use bulk bags for more than three decades.  And we
have demonstrated that the vast majority of systems will flow material
successfully and consistently, under all operating conditions, without the
added cost and complexity of a bulk bag conditioner. 

We realize that this is heresy to some bulk bag manufacturers, and companies
who sell batching systems that require them.  But it is absolutely true that
only a very small percentage of materials require a bulk bag conditioner to
produce good material flow if the batching system is well-engineered.

We have shown, in hundreds of dry ingredient batching systems, that when
bags are specified correctly, and positioned and suspended properly, a bulk bag
conditioner is unnecessary.  Whether you’re in the food, pharma, ceramics,
chemical, refractory or another industry, we can show you a system that
flows material without a bag massager or bulk bag conditioner.

Save your money for something you really need.
