7 SEQUENCE OF OPERATION 1 FEEDING 2 Operator/Robot loads the bags onto the infeed conveyor which conveys the bags to the retractable spike wheel where the bags are spiked and held in position during the sitting cycle. SLITTING Two rotatory cutting blades automatically adjust to the different bag sizes and neatly slit the bag on three sides for a thorough gravity discharge of the product. 3 PRODUCT DISCHARGE 4 The bottom of the bag is firmly held by the spikes and drawn around and under the spike wheel in one long sheet. In the process, the bag is turned inside out and the product discharged by gravity. SIFTING AND COMPACTION Any residue clinging from the bag is removed by a blast of air. Oversized foreign particles are sifted on a fine mesh screen in the collection hopper, which is vibrated a high frequency. Spikes are retracted and the empty bag extruded via the compactor, into a dust free, plastic waste receiving bag.

8 MACHINE FEATURES STANDARD FEATURES The Luxme Twin Blade Automatic Bag Slitter incorporates the following unique features as part of our standard supply: Retractable spikes, thrust into the bag by spe cially designed torsional springs, ensure that lightweight and inner-lined bags, which tend to ride during the slitting and discharging cycles, are securely held in place on the conveyor. Spike conveyor is driven by an independent motor complete with electronic protection against machine overload. A high frequency vibratory collection hopper with screen provides the action required to ensure complete sifting and discharge of prod uct. The slitter is completely isolated from the vibratory hopper through a well engineered damping system. Exterior and interior surfaces of the bag slitter are primed with zinc rich epoxy and finish painted with grey epoxy enamel. Following the slitting and gravity discharge cycle, the product and empty bags are separ ated and do not come into contact again. OPTIONAL FEATURES The following optional features are available: Integral dust filter complete with exhaust fan. Stainless steel product contact parts or complete stainless steel construction. Explosion proof motors and instrumentation. External accumulation feed conveyor interlocked with the bag slitter controls. Pneumatic conveying equipment with blower package and rotary airlock valve. Bag Crusher to loosen hardened material before slitting. Bag Brusher to brush the bags before slitting, suitable for food applications. Digital bag counter. Free standing, floor mounted Compactor which can be integrated with the bag slitter for elevated gravity product discharge.»» Automated controls are engineered and integrated into systems, complete with the following options: Relay logic, Explosion proof or P.L.C. panels, NEMA 7, Mimic display or NEMA 9.
