An automatic bulk-bag dumping station
The Minislit (photo) is an automated bag-opening station capable of high rates for bag and sack emptying operations in multiple powder processing industries, including food & beverage. Common applications include quick ingredients discharge from smaller 20- and 50-lb sacks containing dairy powders, granulated sugar, spices and so on, for mixing and processing further downstream. Bag opening rates on average are around 2 to 8 bags/min depending on the package type and material. — Palamatic Process Inc., Philadelphia, Pa.
