Description
Automatic bag dump station - MINISLIT® - Automatic opening without any adjustment
The Minislit® automatic bag dump station is an industrial bag cutter that uses a ribbon saw system to cut the sack on three sides and prevent shredding of the package material. This bag splitter employs patented disc inversion mechanisms to grab the sack material and flip it over for full and efficient discharge of the contents.
Designed to open bags of dry granluar, bulk solids and powders, the Minislit® automated bag opening equipment is available with a belt cutting system. Suitable for multiple applications including aggregates and food, the integrated parts of the Minislit® bag cutting device can be cleaned manually or mechanically using the "Cleaning In Place" (CIP) option. This optional CIP design provides a quick and complete wash down.
The Minislit® bag splitter machine offers a bag opening rate of 4 to 8 bags/min.
To minimize wear and tear of this industrial bag splitter, the mechanical gears and guiding components are located externally, offering versatility in material unloading operations and easy access for maintenance of parts.
The MiniSlit® equipment can be integrated into an automatic bag opening process line such as our DePalSack® line.

Operation procedure:
1. Deposit of the bag on a roller conveyor, positioned laterally to the bag dump station, for its introduction into the body of the machine on the screen provided for this purpose
2. The presence of the bag is detected by the sensor that controls the cutting system
3. The blade cuts the bag and the lower part is grasped by the inversion discs for complete emptying
4. When the sensor is deactivated, the blade moves up to the rest position so as not to cut the bag in half
5. The bag is directed towards the bag compactor through a helical screw and the machine is ready to receive the next bag
Equipment advantages
- Automatic saw cutting system
- Bag manipulator and belt conveyor

Features
Technical specification
| Capacity | 15 to 50 kg/sack |
|---|---|
| Manufacturing materials | Painted steel, 304L stainless steel, 316L stainless steel |
| Electrical power | 5.5 kW |
| Pneumatic consumption | 3 Nm³/h. |
| Dust removal rate | 600 m³/h. |
The special ribbon strip cutting system avoids shredding the package material and allows the bags to be cut on 3 sides. The principle of turning and emptying the bags provides full discharge of the material contents. It is particularly suitable for food and chemical industries, as well as the powder paint industry.
Like all PALAMATIC PROCESS bag dump stations, its design facilitates cleaning and maintenance with the minimum number of retention areas. The mechanical drive and guide parts are installed externally, which greatly reduces wear and tear. Our automated high rate sack tip equipment / automated bag cutting device is designed for high production process requirements utilizing small batch packaged ingredients.

Options
Available options
-
Sack manipulator
Sack manipulator : The operator, via a simple control handle, depalletizes the bags and positions them on the infeed conveyor.
The infeed speed is ensured with maximum ergonomics.
-
Washing head nozzle
The installation of nozzles inside the machine allows to ensure a complete and automatic cleaning of all the equipment after the opening phase.
Several nozzles are installed to clean the entire machine and thus ensure zero cross contamination.
The drying phase using filtered hot air (H14) is also offered by the Palamatic Process design office.
-
Belt conveyor
The belt conveyor is used to deport the operator from the entrance of the machine.
The belt conveyor is either vertical or inclined. Its design incorporates sensor cells that can also control the flow of the machine.
The lengths are defined according to the installation constraints.
A gooseneck is provided for inclined conveyors.
-
Depalletizer
For automatic loading of the emptying machine.
-
Dust collector
Dust removal is the essential additional equipment to ensure a healthy working atmosphere.
The dust collector is installed directly on the machine and thus makes it possible to reintroduce the vacuum fines or is positioned outside for independent dust collectors.
- Dust removal rate required: 1,000 m³/h
- Filtration technology: cartridge or pouch
- Unclogging: compressed air
- Filter medium (variable according to the type of powders): antistatic polyester, oleophobic, PTFE coated...
-
Customized lump breaker
The integrated lump breaker allows the machine to process clodded powders and bulk materials.
The rotating blades ensure the passage of lumps through a calibrated screen.
This lump breaker is fully integrated into the machine body, which ensures a reduced space requirement.
-
Vibrating chute
The chute installed at the machine outlet allows to channel the product flow for introduction into the process upstream.
The design is specific to each implementation.
-
Pre-crushing of the bag
Pre-crushing of the bags when passing bags with lumps.
The passage of the bag in front of the detect sensor starts the crushing action. -
Machine support raiser
Support raiser for the machine to enable the operator to have access to the various doors of the machine.
-
Holding roller
The holding roller is used to process bags weighing less than 15 kg.
Products such as aerosil or caposil packaged in large bags are held in place during cutting without risk of tearing.
-
Vibrating sieve
Vibrating sieve : Positioned downstream of the bag deconditioner, the sieve ensures the protection of your production line.
-
Stainless steel fabrication
Made of steel or stainless steel for all parts in direct contact with the handled products.
