Introduction

If you make something from powders, it usually means that one or more of the basic ingredients comes to you in paper bags, or sacks, of one size or another.

This means that you are faced with having to address the following challenges:

	The ergonomic issues associated with the lifting and handling of the bags to minimize back injury.
	The dumping of the bags with little to no operator exposure to dust.
	Product quality with respect to lumps and paper content.
	The ergonomic and safety issues of disposing of the empty bags.
	How to best transfer the product into your process.
