The bag cutters are machines that empty the paper or plastic bags.

There are two types:

Manual bag cutters, which are composed of a grille with a front supporting shelf. The grille is fitted to the collection hopper supported by four feet; they can be made with various types of material with a high level finish. While the contents of the bag are emptied via the collection hopper, the dust collector filters the dust generated when opening the bag. The empty bag is tossed into the lateral conduit that can be connected to a bag compactor.

Automatic bag cutters, which are composed of a bag splitting unit comprising a containment trough, an extra heavy screw press complete with a gearmotor suited to the application, and a sieve unit comprising a rotating horizontal sieve in a cylindrical form also with a motor. A dust filter adapted to suit the application can be added above the sieve. This is used for opening and emptying paper bags of one or more layers.
