Waste bag opener

Overview
Designed for the automatic opening of bags and the controlled release of their contents in multi-material waste collection. The tearing action is performed by a rotating drum working against a toothed counter comb, allowing material to be released without compromising its integrity and ensuring a uniform feed to downstream processes.

Key features

• Rotating drum working against a toothed counter comb for controlled tearing and release of bag contents.
• Wear-resistant steel cutting blades for long service life.
• Counter comb teeth made of wear-resistant steel to ensure consistent performance in demanding conditions.
• Uniform feed to subsequent processing stages, improving sorting efficiency and plant operational continuity.

Drum
The drum is fitted with cutting appendages made of wear-resistant steel and is connected by a 120 mm diameter steel shaft to a right-angle gearmotor; rotation speed can be adjusted to operational requirements.

Comb
The teeth of the counter comb are manufactured from wear-resistant steel to ensure consistent performance even under heavy-duty conditions.

Operation
The tearing action is produced by the rotating drum acting against the toothed counter comb, enabling controlled release of materials while preserving particle integrity for subsequent sorting.

Adjustments
The counter comb is hydraulically actuated to allow precise positioning and adjustment according to material and process needs.
