A converter converts an existing bulk bag unloader to a bulk cargo receiver that eliminates the use of bulk bags. The converter enables the unloader to receive a continuous feed of bulk cargo without any interruptions such as those needed to unload emptied bulk bags and reload the unloader with full bulk bags.
