Process Description:
Bags are depalletized manually or with a robot and placed on an inclined infeed conveyor. The conveyor feeds the bags into the bag slitter where they are securely held in place as rotating blades slice open the bags along 3 sides for complete discharge.

Bag being emptied
The material inside of the bag flows by gravity while a rotating nylon set of wheels drives the discarded bag pieces downward. A rotating auger or screw then discharges the discarded bag from a separate outlet. The product falls directly onto a conveyor or onto a vibrating screen or sifter that filters out large impurities or foreign particles.
The automatic bag emptying machine can be integrated into new or existing material handling systems and includes HMI touch screen interface controls.
