Bag Dump Stations
Open and empty 25–110 lb bags while controlling dust and contamination. CMT bag dump stations combine ergonomic loading with integral filtration for a clean, safe workspace.
Overview
Our bag dump stations (also called bag break stations) let operators cut, empty, and discard bags without dusting the room. A top‑mounted, self‑cleaning filter pulls air away from the operator as product drops into a receiving hopper for downstream conveying or batching. Optionally, the station can have a dust port for connection to local dust collection.
Core Features
Clean, Safe, and Ergonomic
- Integral dust collection with pulse‑jet cleaning and easy filter access
- Safety grate & backdraft hood to protect the operator and capture nuisance dust
- Bag rest shelf and large front opening for fast, comfortable unloading
- Sanitary, crevice‑free design in stainless or painted carbon steel
- Tool‑less access to filters and hopper; optional HEPA after‑filter
Better Housekeeping & Compliance
- Maintain negative pressure around the bag opening to keep dust inside
- Reduce allergen and cross‑contamination risks with contained dumping
- Meet facility hygiene goals; optional quick‑release components for cleaning
Common Configurations
Custom Unloader + Bag Dump
Combine a bag dump with a custom receiving hopper or bulk bag unloader so operators can empty small bags and FIBCs into the same process line.
- Shared hopper with level detection
- Top‑mounted filter keeps dust out of the room
- Ideal for plants receiving mixed packaging formats
On a Bulk Bag Unloader
Mount a bag dump on the unloader frame for compact layouts and unified dust control.
Downstream Integrations

Move dumped powders immediately with a dust‑tight aero‑mechanical conveyor. Fast, steep‑incline transfer without air balancing.
To a Feeder or Screw Conveyor
Feeders meter product from the bag dump hopper to batching, mixing, or pneumatic conveying systems with high accuracy and minimal dust.
