Bulk Bag Unloader

Air Pallet® Container

Smarter. Cleaner. Safer Bulk Powder Handling

The Air Pallet® Container is a proven, industrial alternative to traditional bulk bags—designed to deliver dust-free filling and unloading, controlled discharge, and a returnable, reusable system that improves plant cleanliness and operational efficiency.
Engineered for industrial, non-sanitary applications, the Air Pallet® Container is ideal for handling specialty chemicals, hazardous materials, and high value powders where cleanliness, operator safety, and material control are critical. With built in fluidization and compatibility with a wide range of conveying and unloading systems, the Air Pallet® offers long-term reliability that single-use bulk bags simply cannot match.

Inspiring Solutions

From Concept to Completion.

Proven Processes to Support Your Needs.

Key Features

Dust-Free Filling & Unloading

Sealed connections and controlled discharge eliminate airborne dust during material transfer—protecting operators and maintaining a cleaner facility.

Built-In Fluidization

Integrated air pads promote consistent material flow, ensuring smooth and reliable discharge—even with difficult or light-density powders.

Returnable & Reusable Design

A durable, collapsible container replaces disposable packaging, reducing waste, lowering operating costs, and supporting sustainability goals.

Controlled & Automated Discharge

Designed for batch-controlled unloading and easy integration with automated process equipment.

Flexible System Integration

nterfaces directly with vacuum pneumatic conveyors, gravity discharge systems, and downstream process equipment for seamless material handling.

Space Saving & Stackable

Collapsible construction and stacking features minimize storage footprint when containers are empty.

Benefits

Typical Applications

Low shear in‑tank agitators are well suited for processes that require uniformity without aggressive mixing, including:
  • Specialty and industrial chemicals
  • Hazardous materials
  • High value or light density powders
  • Industrial manufacturing processes
  • Facilities seeking alternatives to disposable bulk bags
Note: The Air Pallet® Container is intended for non-sanitary, industrial applications and should not be used for food or pharmaceutical processing.

Why Choose the Air Pallet®?

The Air Pallet® Container offers a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable way to move bulk powders—without the mess, waste, or inconsistency of traditional bulk bags. Whether upgrading an existing process or designing a new material handling system, the Air Pallet® delivers dependable performance and long-term value.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Air Pallet® Container?

The Air Pallet® Container is a collapsible, reusable, pallet sized bulk container designed for the dust free transportation, storage, and controlled discharge of powdered materials. It uses built in fluidization to condition powders for consistent unloading while protecting operators and the surrounding environment.

How does the Air Pallet® Container differ from traditional bulk bags?

Unlike disposable bulk bags, the Air Pallet® Container is returnable and reusable, offers sealed, dust free filling and unloading, and provides controlled discharge rather than uncontrolled dumping. This results in cleaner operations, improved safety, and reduced packaging waste over time.

What types of materials are typically handled in an Air Pallet® Container?

Air Pallet® Containers are commonly used for industrial powders, including specialty chemicals, hazardous materials, and high value powdered products where dust control and material protection are critical.

Are Air Pallet® Containers suitable for food or pharmaceutical applications?

No. Air Pallet® Containers are intended for non-sanitary, industrial applications only and should not be used for food, dairy, or pharmaceutical processing environments.

How does material discharge work?

Each container includes a gas permeable membrane integrated into the base. During unloading, air (or gas) is introduced beneath the membrane to gently fluidize the powder, promoting smooth, consistent discharge without dust emissions.

Can the Air Pallet® Container be integrated with existing equipment?

Yes. Air Pallet® Containers are designed to interface with vacuum pneumatic conveying systems, gravity discharge setups, and downstream process equipment, allowing them to integrate into both new and existing material handling systems.

Are Air Pallet® Containers reusable?

Yes. The containers are designed for multiple reuse cycles, helping reduce single use packaging, lower disposal costs, and improve sustainability across multifacility operations.

What sizes are available?

Air Pallet® Containers are offered in standard configurations only, including:
• Round containers: 42″ diameter (35 or 50 cu. ft.)
• Rectangular containers: 47.5″ × 51″ (85–100 cu. ft.)
Custom container sizes are not offered.

Can full Air Pallet® Containers be stacked?
Full containers should not be stacked on top of one another. They are typically stored in rack systems, while empty containers can be collapsed and stacked to save space.
What problems does the Air Pallet® Container help solve?

The Air Pallet® Container helps eliminate:
• Dust exposure during filling and unloading
• Inconsistent material flow
• Excess packaging waste from disposable bulk bags
• Operator safety concerns during powder handling
It provides a cleaner, safer, and more controlled way to manage bulk powders in industrial environments.
