Automatic emptying systems of octabins and big bags
Specialist in automatic octabin and big bag emptying systems
OKTOMAT® is the first suction-based emptying system for commonly used bulk packaging (such as octabins, big bags, FIBC and supersacks), designed for free-flowing plastic resin granules.
This system enables complete emptying without human assistance, without lifting, tipping or rotating the full container, thereby avoiding several issues: it does not interrupt production, does not contaminate the material and always suctions down to the bottom of the bag.
Simplicity, cost-effectiveness and efficiency
Reduced production downtime caused by machine feeding failures
Total precision and efficiency in raw material handling
OCTABIN and BIG BAG emptying system, integrated into vacuum conveying systems. It offers solutions suitable for granulated thermoplastics with varying morphology and flow characteristics, as well as thermosetting materials with different flow properties, ensuring seamless integration into polymer material conveying systems.
Integrated vacuum suction technology
Continuous, interruption-free emptying
Robust and modular structure
Optimised industrial design

OKTOMAT® vacuum discharge and suction solutions are designed to ensure efficient, safe and fully automated transfer of raw materials from octabins and big bags.
Integrated with pneumatic conveying systems, they enable continuous material flow while minimising losses, contamination and manual intervention, making them ideal for demanding industrial environments and continuous processes.
Full process automation
Material discharge and conveying without manual intervention.
Reduced losses and contamination
Closed system that preserves material quality.
Stable material flow
Continuous and controlled feeding, avoiding failures or interruptions.
Easy integration
Compatible with existing suction and pneumatic conveying systems.
Operational safety
Reduced physical effort and accident risk for operators.
Discharge Solutions
Fluidisation function
Injection of compressed air into the suction head to loosen compacted materials and facilitate aspiration; available for SM-80 and XL-80 suction heads, with independent pneumatic control (OKTOMAT® SOS / SOS Classic).
Line emptying function
Automatic lifting of the suction head after conveying to completely empty the pipeline, ideal for long or inclined lines (OKTOMAT® SOS / SOS Classic).
Oscillating suction head system
Controlled vibratory movement of the suction head that prevents cavities and ensures continuous flow; fully adjustable parameters (OKTOMAT® SOS / SOS Classic).
Oscillating bag/film clamp system
Cyclic movement of the clamp that eliminates bridging and material slippage, ensuring uniform discharge of difficult materials (OKTOMAT® SOS / SOS Classic).
