VSA - Bag opener

Effectively and precise – The bag opener with extremely high througput capacity

The bag opener VSA 2500 is used for opening rubbish bags in the fields of light packaging (plastics rubbish bags) and domestic waste.

The special design allows the bags to be torn open gently without shredding their contents. This means that up to 60 tonnes of waste bags can be processed per hour. This process can even be guaranteed for bag-in-bag fractions, which frequently arises when Yellow Bags (part of the German waste collection system for “Green Dot” products) are collected. The share of valuable substances coming from the sorting plant will rise significantly.
