Tetra Pak Hygienic Bag Dump for 25 kg bags

Responding to customer enquiries about improving the hygiene and safety of 25 kg bag tipping, Tetra Pak has launched a 25 kg bag tipping solution. The Hygienic Bag Dump - 25 kg bags is a solution to a number of typical problems associated with powder dumping.

The design prevents powder contamination due to eliminating hand knives and non-hygienic outer paper bags from the ‘red line’ environment, alongside providing for environmentally-friendly recycling, ergonomics and safety. Other benefits include the option of using the hygienic powder dumping prior to blending or mixing in order to reduce the need for heat treatment of the end product, as well as improving taste and cutting process costs.

The solution is suitable for vacuum- or positive-pressure powder transport and complies with sanitary standards and dust explosion regulations. It can be operated by one or two people and processes about 3 bags/min. Dust emission is minimal as the system is equipped with integrated dust extraction.

The whole system is modular, allowing the installation of any station as a standalone unit with the opportunity to upgrade or expand with other modules at a later stage. The entire system can be supplied as fully automated by introducing robotic de-palletising and waste evacuation modules.
