Main Features of Metalworks’ Bags Slitting & Emptying Machine
Metalworks bags slitting and emptying machine represents the latest most advanced technology for bags slitting and
emptying complete with de-palletizer and empty bags compactor.
Metalworks machine is designed and manufactured for heavy duty operations. It is strong, efficient and reliable suitable
for high performances (up-to 1.000 bags /h) and unbeatable emptying efficiency (up-to 99,9 %).
Metalworks machine mainly consists of:
– De-palletizing
– Bags slitting
– Bags Emptying
– Empty bags compacting
– Electric driving and controlling panel
Option :
– Automatic stuck-up of empty pallets
– Magazines for full pallet storage
De-palletizer
De-palletizing is made by hydraulically tilting the entire pallet on belt conveyors feeding the rotating knifes the machine
is equipped with. In this way higher efficiency, easier and safer operations along with less demanding maintenance is
granted.
Experienced proves that Metalworks design is granting a great: 1. The entire machine, especially the de-palletizer, is designed and build for heavy duty operation and reduced
maintenance
2. Bags are surely and gently handled. Pallets are hydraulically lifted and tilted. Bags, using two inline conveying
belts, are fed into the machine and automatically slit.
3. Handling, slitting and emptying can be surely and consistently ensured though the following might be
experienced:
– In case of damaged bags
– The bags (the layers consist of) are not sufficiently flat
– If, due to longer exposure to the sun or, as happens, bags are glued in order to ensure stability especially
during land transportation
4. The discharging cone of the machine is fitted with a vibrated safety grid that can segregate larger items that can
be removed thanks a large hinged lid the cone is equipped with.
BAGS SLITTING
BAGS EMPTYING
Metalworks grants the full Bags Emptying by intensive tumbling of slit bags moving into a rotating drum. The result is
an accurate emptying of bags, direct discharging of debagged product into the machine hopper, automatic gathering
and feeding of empty bags into the empty bags compactor. Simple, effective and reliable as a heavy-duty highly and
flexible machine needs to be.
Experience proves that other machines available on the market , mostly due to economic reasons, are slitting the bags
(each layer consists of) by “sliding” the entire layer of bags on rotating blades. The matter is, as it often happens, that
the bags are not evenly sitting thus, are not uniformly slit and might fall into the machine hopper, without even getting
slit too.
Poor slitting will make the subsequent mechanical “shaking” not suitable to the full emptying of the bags. In fact, some
granules will be retained that inevitably will get lost with the empty bags.
Shaking, among others, leads to additional vibrations whose negative consequences are increased and faster wearing
and frequent and costly maintenance.
Empty bags compacting
Once the bags are slit and emptied they automatically and continuously moving into an empty bag screw compactor.
filling a PE plastic tube for easy handling. Once the PE tube is full an alarm signa will be provided for its replacement.

Option
In order to increase the capacity of the machine and limit to the minimum the dead time for unloading the
empty pallet and load the upcoming full pallet, the machines can be equipped with the following option:
Automatic stuck-up of empty pallets:
It can automatically stuck-up up to 6 empty pallet that once reached can be collect ed and removed in one go by forklift.
Full pallets magazine:
A roller conveyor, in automatic mode, can store and move full pallets for the feeding of the automatic de-palletizer machine. Depending from logistic and available space 3 to 5 complete pallets are loaded on the full pallets magazine.
