Features
Improved working conditions
Ergonomic and safe
The powder bags are transported into the high-hygiene area via a conveyor, and the tipping and discharge is automatic. This means there is no heavy lifting involved for the operator. Furthermore, the safety level is high – there is no manual use of knives, and two-hand security buttons make sure hands can’t come near the cutters during the cutting sequence.
High level of hygiene
Hygienic design secures food safety
With its stainless steel surfaces, the Tetra Pak® Bag Tipping unit SA VS800 is easy to clean. Bag opening is clean, hygienic and consistent, as the bag slitter makes identical cuts every time. Food safety is further ensured by the minimal contact between operator and product.
Modular approach
Full flexibility
The solution is modular and can be adapted to specific requirements and conditions. The full flexibility lets the Tetra Pak® Bag Tipping unit SA VS800 cover anything from basic needs to automatic handling of bag depalletizing and bag waste.
Production efficiency
Increased throughput
The automatic bag opening solution makes it possible to double the throughput, compared to a manual solution. Consistent performance and minimal powder losses add to the production efficiency.
Options
Choice of alternative setups depending on bag type
Three different configurations to choose from
The machine can be configured to accommodate a wide range of bag materials and types, including polyethylene, kraft and polypropylene woven bags.
