Bulk bag discharge assembly including a conditioning assembly

A bulk bag discharge assembly comprising:

• a main frame assembly having a first end and a second end, the main frame assembly defining a bulk bag receiving region confined thereby, which bulk bag receiving region has a lower end thereof defined by a discharge support base structurally configured to receive a bulk bag thereon for discharging;
• and
• a bag conditioning assembly comprising opposing conditioner frames each including an impact face, each conditioner frame having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being pivotably coupled to the main frame assembly, with the distal end extending downward toward the discharge support base, the impact face spaced apart from the proximal end, and powered cylinders each pivotably having a first end coupled to the main frame assembly and having a second end spaced apart from the proximal end thereof and pivotably coupled between the proximal end and the distal end of the opposing conditioner frames, respectively, the impact faces being structurally configured to impact sides of a bulk bag positioned on the discharge support base without impacting a bottom of a bulk bag, the bottom of the bulk bag being a discharge opening end of the bulk bag, wherein the distal end of the conditioner frames is directed at least partially in an upward direction, through a majority of travel within the bulk bag receiving region.
