Tetra Pak® Bag Tipping unit SA VS800

The Tetra Pak® Bag Tipping unit SA VS800 is all about powder handling efficiency. Combining best-in-class food safety, enhanced production rates and improved working conditions for operators, it is an automatic bag opening solution for efficient emptying of powder bags.

Improved working conditions for operators

Via a conveyor, the powder bags are transported into the hygienic area, where they are automatically opened and discharged. This means less heavy lifting for the operator. Safety is also in focus: there is no manual use of knives, and two-hand buttons protect the operator during the cutting sequence.

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.

Bag tilter with automatic slitter – suitable for kraft and polyethylene bags
Bag tilter and bag holder without slitter – when only polypropylene bags are used (no cutting), designed for 25 kg and 50 kg bags
Bag tilter and bag holder with retractable slitter – suitable for kraft, polyethylene and woven polypropylene bags. Polypropylene bags tilted and held in place for effortless manual opening.
