Dinnissen Process Technology, Sevenum, the Netherlands, has developed a new bag emptier with an integrated automated pallet handler especially for companies looking to process large numbers of bags. This latest version of the popular Dima 1200 can empty between 200 and 1500 bags per hour. In addition, it helps companies to comply with stricter standards of hygiene and to minimise product spillage/waste in a wide range of industries. All the operator has to do is to feed the pallets with the bags into the facility. They are first tipped at an angle, after which the bags are fed, layer by layer, via a special conveyor into the rotating drum unit of the Dima 1200. Inside the unit, two shafts, each fitted with five knives, cut the bags open from the top and the bottom side. The ingredients then leave the unit through a perforation in the rotating drum and are collected in a special storage container. The end result is an efficient and very effective separation of the packaging from its contents. Depending upon the specific product in question, the particle size distribution, and the type of bag processed, the Dima 1200 can empty and recover between 99.5% and 99.99% of the product inside the bag. The machine, together with other Dinnissen innovations, will be exhibited at POWTECH (Stand 4-323) and at Industrial Processing (Stand O3 A060). www.dinnissen.nl
