Automatic bag slitting and emptying for powders

Processes and Empties Powdered Product Bags

The GEA HYGiTip Bag Emptying System, developed by GEA Group, offers a robust solution for processing powdered products in food, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. This fully automatic system specializes in safely conditioning, cutting, and emptying 20-25 kg bags, ensuring efficient discharge of products like infant formula, protein powder, and spice blends up to an impressive 8 metric tonnes per hour.

Operating in a fully enclosed, hygienic environment, the HYGiTip minimizes contamination risk and improves operator safety. By incorporating a positive grip mechanism and automated liner cutting, the system maintains product integrity during processing. The stainless steel construction ensures durability and easy maintenance, meeting industry hygiene standards.

Equipped with integrated powder handling capabilities, it seamlessly links with upstream and downstream processes like de-palletizing, sterilization, and dust collection, offering a comprehensive automated handling solution. Its design supports waste stream separation, allowing for efficient recycling of packaging materials. Minimal manual intervention is required, limited to daily cleaning, resulting in reduced labor costs and enhanced operating efficiency, making it a valuable asset for modern production lines.
