About this video
Between manual bag dump stations and robotic cells sits the automatic sack opener: an operator or conveyor still places the bag, but opening, emptying and bag disposal run by machine. The Palamatic Process MiniSlit is one of these stations, and this video walks through it in chapters: belt conveyor, empty sack compactor, sack conditioning, dust collection and cleaning in place.
According to the manufacturer, the cutting system has a special profile that opens the bags on three sides without shredding the bag material. Trade coverage based on Palamatic's own description explains the mechanism: the sack is fed into the cutting chamber on a roller conveyor, a horizontal saw cuts three sides, rotating discs pull the empty packaging down towards an integrated compactor, and the product falls through the central hopper outlet. Empty bag material is compacted by a screw conveyor into a poly sleeve outside the station.
Palamatic quotes average bag opening rates of about 2 to 8 bags per minute depending on package type and material, with typical sack sizes of 20 and 50 lb for products such as dairy powders, sugar and spices. Built-in dust filtration is available, and the CIP option provides a complete wash with drying in about 30 minutes.
