The invention discloses a liquid conveying system, a liner bag and a manufacturing method. The liner bag comprises a liner bag body and a discharge port, the liner bag body is formed by sealing and welding a front panel and a rear panel along the periphery, and the discharging port is sealedly connected with the liner bag body. The liner bag body is substantially rectangular, and the liner bag body has two pairs of opposite side edges, and corresponding adjacent side edges of the two pairs of opposite side edges are connected by one or more transition edges The liner bag of the invention is simple to manufacture and does not form a damming lake during the liquid discharge process, which is especially beneficial for the discharge of viscous liquid, and less liquid remains after the discharge is completed.

A bulk bag conditioner assembly is disclosed herein. The assembly includes a frame assembly defining a bulk bag conditioning area. The frame assembly includes a first carrier frame with a first ram, and a second carrier frame with a second ram. A first actuator assembly includes a first end fixed to the first carrier frame and a second end fixed to the second carrier frame. A second actuator assembly includes a first end fixed to the first carrier frame and a second end fixed to the second carrier frame. A control unit is configured to simultaneously drive the first ram and the second ram linearly towards each other to engage a bulk bag within the bulk bag conditioning area.

The invention relates to a filling and/or emptying apparatus (1) and to methods for filling and/or emptying flexible containers (5), particularly sacks, with in particular hazardous, loose substances, preferably in powder form, comprising a filling and/or emptying neck (2) with an open end portion and at least one deformable disposable fastening ring (9), wherein the disposable fastening ring (9) is designed in relation to the internal diameter of the filling and/or emptying neck (2) such that once a container edge (7) is folded over around the fastening ring, preferably from radially inside to the outside, it is possible to insert, particularly to insert manually, the disposable fastening ring (9) in an end portion of the filling and/or emptying neck (2) so that the disposable fastening ring (9) is arranged substantially concentrically with the filling and/or emptying neck (2), and a radially outer fold-over portion (8) of the container edge (7) is arranged and/or clamped between an inner surface of the filling and/or emptying neck (2) and a radially outer surface. Furthermore, the disposable fastening ring (9) is designed in relation to the internal diameter of the filling and/or emptying neck (2) such that it is possible to press, particularly to press by mechanical means, the disposable fastening ring (9) into a sealing portion (15) of the filling and/or emptying neck (2), which is arranged after the end portion in the axial direction (A) and preferably has a smaller internal diameter than the end portion, wherein the disposable fastening ring (9) undergoes, preferably elastic deformation in the radial direction, so that the insertion and/or pressing into the interior of the filling and/or emptying neck (2) leads to a radial deformation and a counterposed pressure force, preferably an elastic return force, which presses the outer fold-over portion (8) of the container edge (7) against the inner surface of the filling and/or emptying neck (2), thereby sealing the container (5) against the filling and/or emptying neck (2).

A transfer device is designed for contamination-protected transfer of flowable process material between a first container and a second container. The transfer device includes a guide tube having an axial passage for the flow of the process material, which has a connection at one end and terminates with a tube edge at the other end. A transfer unit opens into the guide tube, which allows engagement with the guide tube. A tubular liner supply having a plurality of peelable useful sections, each provided with a first crimp, is stored on the transfer unit. The useful sections can be used to isolate liner remnants from previous transfer operations for disposal. A first tensioner and a second tensioner are arranged circularly on the guide tube and concentrically to each other, which serve for temporary sealed fixing of residual ends and open ends of new liner pieces originating from inner liners from the second containers.

A bulk bag discharge assembly comprising a main frame assembly and a bag conditioning assembly. The main frame assembly defines a bulk bag receiving region having a discharge support base structurally configured to receive a bulk bag thereon for discharging. The bag conditioning assembly comprises opposing conditioner frames, each having a proximal end, a distal end, and an impact face, and at a proximal end, pivotably coupled to the main frame assembly. A powered cylinder is pivotably coupled to the main frame assembly at a first end, and to the first conditioner frame at a second end. The conditioning assembly is structurally configured to impact a side of a bulk bag positioned on the discharge support base, without impacting a bottom of a bulk bag, wherein the distal end of the first conditioner frame is directed at least partially in an upward direction within the bulk bag receiving region.

An integrated cap rotation equipment includes a cap rotation module supporter and a cap rotation module. The cap rotation module includes a cap rotation device, an integrated connecting device and an optical detector. The cap rotation device is used to open a sealing cap of at least one chemical storage container, and the integrated connecting device is used to connect an opening of the chemical storage container to extract a chemical liquid from the chemical storage container and return the chemical liquid to the chemical storage container. The optical detector is disposed between the cap rotation device and the integrated connecting device, and is used to detect the position of the sealing cap of the chemical storage container, so that the cap rotation device and the integrated connecting device are able to align with the sealing cap and the opening, respectively.

A suction gun includes a gun head is provided with a material suction port configured to suck a material located in an area for sucking, and an air blowing structure including an air blowing pipe and an air blowing hole provided on a pipe wall of the air blowing pipe. The air blowing hole is configured to blow an air flow so as to blow the material to the material suction port.

A squeezer and fluid discharge system and method are disclosed.
