Bag Openers can be used for splitting single or multiple layer bags made from polythene, paper, interwoven plastic and polythene lined paper.
The bags can be loaded via a conveyor belt or manually dropped into the hopper. As the bags drop they are carried round by a slowly turning drum with a series of fingers, the bags are then pulled towards another drum rotating in the opposite direction. When the bags are pulled through the two drums they are ripped open and are usually dropped onto a conveyor and processed as required.
