to open 25kg bags of chemicals
OVERVIEW

PROJECT
Entecon has produced this Sack Rip and Tip Station to provide an interim solution before a full capex project can be provided to allow the install one of Entecon’s Automatic Sack Openers.
The operation of the Manual Sack Opener is via the door, as this automatically starts the extraction allowing the operator to load the sacks without needing to start the machine. The empty sack can be deposited in the sack chute provided.
