Automatic bag slitting and emptying for powders
Manual bag emptying in industrial powder processing can introduce safety risks and potential for contamination. The need for a more hygienic and efficient process is critical, especially in food and dairy industries where maintaining product integrity is paramount.
Automates bag cutting and powder discharge
The GEA HYGiTip bag emptying system automates the process of conditioning, cutting, and removing powdered products from 20-25 kg polyethylene bags. This system safely discharges powdered food and dairy products at up to 8 metric tonnes per hour in a fully enclosed environment. Designed to operate continuously without the need for operator intervention, it significantly reduces the risk of contamination and ensures maximum product protection. Manual input is only required for daily cleaning, further enhancing operational efficiency. With built-in features such as a bag conditioning device, automatic liner cutting, and extraction, the HYGiTip forms part of a comprehensive solution for handling and emptying powder bags. The system also supports sustainable practices by allowing separation of waste streams, enabling recycling of kraft bags. The equipment is constructed using stainless steel for all product contact parts, ensuring high hygiene standards.
