Debaggers provide a high-speed method of introducing bagged bottles into a conveyor or filling system by continuously feeding containers at a speed meeting the desired production capacity. A good system will prevent damage to containers, maintain sterile condtions and allow adjustments to suit changing requirements and container sizes.

There are basically two types of debagging systems: Semi-Automatic and Fully-Automatic. In the semi-automatic system, full bags of bottles are loaded on to the end of the machine via a conveyor and the operator cuts the tail end off the bag. The bag is then pulled off the bottles through rollers.

In the fully-automatic system, the bagged bottles are loaded through a pallet-conveyor system and the bags are removed automatically by the machine.

In both types of systems, the debagged bottles are subsequently released and driven by a conveyor, usually toward a bottle accelerator. The accelerator sweeps off a single row of bottles to an exit conveyor and then on to the filler.

Typical characteristics of debagging systems include:

• Speeds <5 rows per minute to 35+ rows per minute.
• Utilized when bottles are supplied to customers in sealed bags, layered on skids (i.e.: water, juice industries).
• Each layer placed on table, film is removed, and containers are fed row by row onto a perpendicular discharge conveyor.
• Systems vary in level of automation from semi-automatic debagging tables to fully automatic debagging systems. Manufacturers vary from simple, semi-automatic Dyco-type debagging tables to customized fully-automatic full-production bulk debagging systems.

Advantages: Sanitary, efficient, cost-effective, saves time, reduces injuries and container wastage.

At any given time, BPDM typically has a variety of bottle debaggers and debagging tables in our used, rebuilt and/or reconditioned inventory. We can also furnish new equipment or produce a system incorporating custom design features. Please contact us with your requirements if you would like to discuss your applications.
