The BRT HARTNER BO Bag Opener with feed hopper buffers, opens and empties the plastic bags. It then transfers the metered material downstream sorting and processing systems.

 How Does the Bag Opener Work? 

The moving floor conveyor moves the material to the ripping drum. The separately driven halves of the drum generate the first relative movement. This effectively prevents the material from being shredded, torn, compressed and the mixing of moist and dry parts. There are also no unnecessary fines. 

 Unique Mode of Operation 

There are pressure arms with tear triangles on the back of the tear drum. They press the plastic bags against the drum. The distance between the pressure arms and the drum becomes increasingly narrower towards the bottom. The preset contact pressure can be changed. In the case of compact impurities, the pressure arms deflect. The material undergoes a second relative movement as it passes through this dynamic channel.
