For our customer in the pharmaceutical industry we have built a custom stainless steel (304 & 306) bag emptying machine to empty bags with ammonium sulfate.

With the fully automatic bag emptying machine, bags (with granulate, rice, beans, sugar, etc.) of 25 kg can be opened and emptied into a receiving bin.
Pallets with these bags can be placed into the machine manually or automatically. The typical capacity of the machine is 15 tons (or even up to 30 tons!) of content per hour, depending on the chosen implementation and the product to be processed.

After placing a loaded pallet in the machine it is lifted up to a movable gripper head. Its integrated grippers take the top layer of bags of the pallet which are then transported over rotating blades to the receiving bin. These rotating blades cut the bags open, causing the granulate to fall into the bin. A unique knocker system ensures that the bags are fully emptied. Emptying is better than 99.98%! After emptying the bags the gripper head moves the empty bags to a collection funnel and drops them. It is also possible to transport or drop the empty bags (in)to a bag compactor or baler.
