A bulk bag unloader includes a frame, a bag support, a hopper beneath the
bag support and an outlet chute beneath the hopper. The hopper and the
outlet chute are mounted to the frame for movement substantially in
unison relative to the frame. Two vibrators are mounted respectively on
opposite sides of the hopper and synchronized to generate vibratory
movement substantially along the axis of the outlet chute. Thus, the
vibrators function to achieve an efficient and continuous discharge from
the bulk bag and employ the outlet chute to regulate or stop the flow in
accordance with system requirements.
