Inflatable Gasket for Big Bag
Dust-Tight Inflatable Sealing for Bulk Bag Discharge & Filling Stations
A dust-tight, air-inflated seal that locks a bulk bag spout to its discharge or filling station, keeping powders in and contamination out. Manufactured by Bombay Rubber & Carbon Works.
When bulk bags (FIBCs or big bags) are filled or emptied, the connection between the bag spout and the process equipment is the most common point of product leakage. An inflatable gasket solves this by expanding with a small amount of compressed air to grip the spout and the collar, forming a tight, flexible seal. Once the air is released, the gasket relaxes and the bag can be removed quickly and cleanly.
Bombay Rubber & Carbon Works manufactures inflatable gaskets for big bag stations in a choice of food-compatible and industrial rubber materials, made to the diameter and profile of your equipment.
