Introducing PAL-F-AST ATEX Fully Automatic Sack Opening Machine for Enhanced Efficiency and Contamination Control

Our recommendation was our new to the range, PAL-F-AST ATEX compliant Fully Automatic Sack Opening Machine.

The PAL-FAST machine is a fully automatic solution for medium throughput sack discharging for up to 3-5 sack a minute. Ideal for food, pharmaceutical and chemical applications where production is discharged into a mixing process, all within a safe dust free environment without the need for manual cutting of sacks. The system is designed to prevent any contamination from the outer bag once the bag is inside the machine body thus keeping the product contamination free.

The operator can load the PAL-FAST -MF using a Palamatic Vacuum Tube lifter to lift the sacks.  The door is manually closed which locks automatically starting the opening and emptying process and feeds the emptied sack into the waste sack compactor. The door automatically opens in readiness for the next sack to be loaded. The compact design of this machine ensures the neatest footprint and another important feature is that the product is never in contact with the outer sack.
