  • Patent number: 5975351
    Abstract: A method for siphoning product from a bulk bag while maintaining the bag upright at all times during siphoning which includes the steps of providing a bulk bag containing the dry bulk product; providing a support frame for supporting the bag upright through the lifting loops of the bulk bag; siphoning the product from the bulk bag through a vacuum line inserted in the bulk within the bag; and providing a pressurized cylinder attached to the frame which supports the bag upright through the lifting loops for imparting sufficient force upward on the lifting loops of the bulk bag so as to support the bag upright and lift the bag as the product is siphoned from the bag, yet while allowing the product remaining in the bag to move to a central portion of the bag, so that the siphoning nozzle makes contact with the product within the bag at all times during siphoning.

  • Patent number: RE34560
    Abstract: A plastic or like material liner inserted within a fabric type bulk bag so that the liner is secured in position within the bag with an adhering means along substantially the outer surface of the liner for adhering to the inner most surface of the bulk bag at strategic points, and a second adhering means for adhering the lower portion of the bulk bag to the liner at substantially the point of exit of bulk contained within the bag, so that release bulk from a lower spout would not tend to dislodge the liner from its lined position within the bag.
