Abstract: A liner L has a liner body (11) with a front wall (12), rear wall (16), bottom wall (13), a top wall (14). The top wall also includes a tubular excess liner material or chute (19) located close to the rear wall and which includes a filling fitment (20) with a fitment cap (21). The liner also has a cylindrical, hose content inlet/outlet port or bottom fitment (23). The liner may include a gap-filler or filler strip (70) of foam material extending outwardly from a position closely adjacent the outlet fitment. The filler strip is mounted to the front wall directly over and closely adjacent the outlet fitment. The filler strip may taper so that at least a majority of the strip's longitudinal length or height so as to increase in its lateral width as it approaches the outlet fitment, thereby increasing the material volume of strip material.

Abstract: A liner wringing device (10) is disclosed for use with a container liner. The wringing device includes a housing (30) with an internal cavity which houses the mechanical components of the wringing device. The housing defines a central liner compression channel (40). The internal components include a bottom support plate (42) with a central opening 43 aligned along the central channel. The wringing device also includes a drive assembly (44) formed by four elastomeric rollers (45) positioned so that the peripheral contact surfaces (50) are aligned generally tangentially with the central channel. The four rollers are each mounted to a drive shaft/axle which includes bevel gears which are meshed so that all four rollers rotate in simultaneous, synchronic rotation through the actuation of a pneumatic air gear motor (57).

Abstract: A liner (10) is disclosed for use with a bulk container having mounting posts (20) along a top edge (18). The liner has a liner body (23) which has top wall (26), a bottom wall (27), a front wall (28), a liner rear wall (29) and two side walls (30). The liner also includes a front mounting tab (40) and a rear mounting tab (41). Each mounting tab is mounted to and extends across the vast majority of the width of the liner body. Each mounting tab has two semi-circular cuts therethrough which form liner front mounting openings (43) and (44). This orientation allows for the mounting posts to be positioned upon the curved portion of the openings to aid in distributing pulling forces upon the tabs to restrict tearing of the material along the openings.

Abstract: A liner (L) has a liner body (11) with a front wall (12), rear wall (16), bottom wall (13), a top wall (14). The top wall also includes a tubular excess liner material or chute (19) located close to the rear wall and which includes a filling fitment (20) with a fitment cap (21).

The liner may include a gap-filler or filler strip (70) of foam material extending outwardly from a position closely adjacent the outlet fitment. The chute or filling fitment is positioned on the top wall closely adjacent the rear wall and diagonally opposite the bottom fitment to provide a generally equal run of material in either direction between the top fitment and the bottom fitment.

Abstract: A liner sump dispensing system (10) is disclosed which is used in conjunction with a liner (11) and an intermediate bulk container (12). The liner sump dispensing system includes a liner cassette (40) and a tilting device (41). The liner cassette is mounted to the bottom of the liner. The tilting device includes a tray (51) and a reciprocating pneumatic arm (52) having a pneumatic cylinder (63) and a piston rod (64) pivotally coupled to a rear end (54) of the tray. The tray has a trapezoidal shaped floor (58) and a pair of inclined wings (60) extending upwardly along an incline from the floor. A L-shaped mounting flange (65) adapted to be coupled to the top end of the container is coupled to the end of the pneumatic cylinder opposite from the tray. The actuation of the pneumatic cylinder tilts the tray to tilt the liner bottom end.

Abstract: A bulk bag has side walls and a bottom in which a liner is inserted made of a flexible plastic material. The liner has a bottom and a plurality of sides and at least one frame member extending inwardly from the sides substantially along a plane oriented substantially parallel with the bottom.
