Around the world, Matthiessen Bag Splitters are used in the first stage of many recycling processes. These bag openers not only tear or open the bags, but also empty their contents and meter them onto a conveyor belt. The material is separated and prepared for subsequent sorting and picking processes without being shredded. Matthiessen Bag Splitters are also used as Bale Breakers and Dosing Bunkers.
With Matthiessen Bag Splitters, we are able to adapt to respond to your diverse recycling needs. For materials like municipal solid waste, lightweight packaging, organic waste, and paper, our range offers specific rotor-comb-blade variants, including retractable or fixed prongs and passive or actively rotating counter-combs. These configurations allow for precise adjustments to meet our customers’ needs and efficient preparation of materials for further processing. Thanks to a variety of sizes and throughput capacities, we also support individual economic requirements, always finding a customized solution for you.
In the Matthiessen Bag Splitter, waste and recycling bags are transported into the bunker using a wheel loader, grapple, or a conveyor belt provided by the customer. A chain belt conveyor at the bottom of the bunker moves the material to the rotating drum. Here, retractable or fixed tearing tines grab the bags and guide them through a tearing comb at the top of the drum. The bags and their contents are pulled through the narrow space between the rotor tines and the comb blades, opened and emptied, without compressing or shredding the contents or other materials.
Oversized, bulky materials like garden chairs or nested buckets are reduced to a more manageable size, while smaller, loose pieces pass under the rotor and fall onto a process belt. After this process, the opened and emptied bags, along with their contents, are discharged onto an on-site conveyor belt on the other side, enabling efficient further processing and sorting.
We have experienced specialists on hand to assemble your systems to ensure that your machines are optimally installed and ready for use.
Our maintenance services ensure that your plants are regularly checked and maintained to minimize downtime and ensure production continuity.
Servicing work is carried out professionally by our team to ensure the longevity and robustness of your systems and thereby avoid downtime.
The removal of oversizes, foils and films during the beginning of the recycling-process avoids clogged systems, and down times. Our oversize removers help to raise availability and overall productivity.
Safety is our top priority. Our bale breaker with integrated de-wiring provides increased workplace safety and enables a more efficient start to the recycling process.
Reliable dosing is crucial for the success of the processing. Our robust dosing bunkers have high availability and ensure a consistent feed with adapted dosing drums for optimal process flows.
With the continuous development of our production systems, we are working to optimize the energy efficiency of our machines in order to keep the climate-damaging CO2 emissions of the facilities as low as possible – resource-efficient recycling right from the start!
Our machines are modularly designed, allowing for individually tailored solutions to optimally address the diverse types of waste and specific needs of different regions and countries.
As experts in recycling technology, we help you to find customized solutions with innovative machines that 1. do less harm to the planet, 2. significantly reduce your energy costs and 3. make your system processes safer and more efficient. In addition, our personalized support services promote the smooth performance of your new recycling processors.
