A method for siphoning product from a bulk bag while maintaining the bag upright at all times during siphoning which includes the steps of providing a bulk bag containing the dry bulk product; providing a support frame for supporting the bag upright through the lifting loops of the bulk bag; siphoning the product from the bulk bag through a vacuum line inserted in the bulk within the bag; and providing a pressurized cylinder attached to the frame which supports the bag upright through the lifting loops for imparting sufficient force upward on the lifting loops of the bulk bag so as to support the bag upright and lift the bag as the product is siphoned from the bag, yet while allowing the product remaining in the bag to move to a central portion of the bag, so that the siphoning nozzle makes contact with the product within the bag at all times during siphoning.

[ What is claimed as invention is:] [1.] A method for siphoning product from a bulk bag, and maintaining the bulk bag upright at all times during siphoning, comprising the following steps:a. providing a bulk bag containing product;b. providing a means for supporting the bag upright through the lifting loops of the bulk bag;c. siphoning the product from the bulk bag; andd. imparting sufficient upward force on the lifting loops of the bulk bag by the supporting means to continue to hold the bag upright as the product is siphoned therefrom, and allowing the product remaining in the bag to move to the central portion of the bag. [8.] A system for siphoning bulk material from a bulk bag, comprising:a. an upright support frame, having a base portion and an upright support portion;b. a portion of the frame moveable between down and up positions, and supporting the lifting loops of the bulk bag;c. a siphoning hose inserted through a top portion of the bulk bag, into the bulk contained in the bulk bag for siphoning bulk therefrom while the bulk bag is supported;d. a pressurized cylinder engaged between the upright support frame and the moveable frame, for imparting upward force on the moveable frame while a bulk bag is supported thereon, and for continually imparting said upward force on the bulk bag as bulk is removed until the bulk bag is empty of bulk.
