Dyco's extensive line of Semi-Auto Debaggers offer the greatest flexibility and options in the industry, and meets the same quality, operational and design standards as our Auto-Debaggers. These machines provide an alternative to our automatic machines in low-to medium-volume lines, by applying an operator for loading and bag stripping. In most installations, Dyco's Semi-Auto Debagging systems are positioned where an operator can unload bundles from a delivery vehicle or storage, and load directly into the debagging system.

The operator places a bundle into the debagging system, activates an automated slitting knife to cut the bag, then strips the bag from the bottles. The bottles move onto the debagging system's mat top accumulating conveyor that provides consistent, indexed feeding of the bottles to the single-file exit conveyor for transport to the filling line.

Semi-Auto systems are extremely flexible in design and application, with models for single- and double-tier bundles of square, rectangular, or round containers. Some Semi-Auto models can feed different containers with minimal change over. Dyco's Semi-Auto Debaggers, like the Auto systems, apply a special hold-down system during line feeding to minimize bottle damage, jams, and to maintain container orientation. Also, different lengths of accumulation conveyor can be specified to match the bottle feed speeds of your production requirements.

Dyco's Hand Debagger with Auto-Feedbar is typically used in applications for low speed lines. An operator is required to place a bundle of containers on the table and manually cut and strip the bag from the containers. A foot pedal is depressed so the Auto-Feedbar will then index the containers onto the conveyor line, allowing the operator to perform other tasks while the containers are feeding onto the line.

Why Choose Dyco

Allow your operator to perform other tasks while containers are feeding with an Automatic Feed Bar Kit
Can be retrofitted to your existing Hand Debagger
Available in washdown and non-washdown controls packages to fit your application

Model 2512 Semi Automatic Debagger

Click image to watch video

The model 2512 is typically used for square or rectangular containers. The operator places a bundle on the back of the machine in the slit and strip area. The bag is fed into a hooked safety knife and depresses a foot pedal. The foot pedal actuates a pneumatic cylinder to which knife is mounted, which travels across the side of the bundle, cutting one edge of the bundle open. The operator then pulls the bag from the containers opposite the knife location, stripping the bag off the bundle. Once the bag is removed from the bundle, the operator actuates the lift gate with another foot pedal. The lift gate opens and the containers travel down a mat top accumulation conveyor to the feed end of the machine. Once the containers are clear, the gate lowers and the knife returns to it’s home position. Square and rectangular containers travel down the mat top conveyor to the feed end of the machine and hit the backer bar. The backer bar works in conjunction with a “hold down” mechanism that holds the previous row of containers back, eliminating interference and pressure from the row being discharged. Once the hold down is in place the backer bar retracts and the brake gate opens allowing containers to flow out of the machine on table top conveyor.

Why Choose Dyco

Machine is readily adjustable for most square or rectangular containers which allows the versatility for multiple applications
Hold down mechanism with pressure relief maintains bottle orientation which leads to better line efficiencies
Cost effective semi-automatic debagging solution

Model 2552 Semi Automatic Debagger

The Dyco model 2552 debagger is extremely versatile, offering the unique capability to handle square, rectangular and round container types, yet still providing easy change over between container types. The operator places a bundle on the back of the machine in the slit and strip area. The operator feeds the bag into a hooked safety knife and depresses a foot pedal. The foot pedal actuates a pneumatic cylinder to which the knife is mounted, which travels across the side of the bundle, cutting one edge of the bundle open. The operator then pulls the bag from the containers opposite the knife location, stripping the bag off the bundle. Once the bag is removed from the bundles, the operator actuates the lift gate with another foot pedal. The lift gate opens and the containers travel down a mat top accumulation conveyor to the feed end of the machine. Once the containers are clear, the gate lowers and the knife returns to it’s home position. Square and rectangular containers travel down the mat top conveyor to the feed end of the machine and hit the backer bar. The backer bar works in conjunction with a “hold down” mechanism that holds the previous row of containers back, eliminating interference and pressure from the row being discharged. Once the hold down is in place the backer bar retracts and the brake gate opens allowing containers flow out of the machine on table top conveyor. When running round containers, bottles travel down a mat top chain and are funneled onto a table top conveyor. There is a side mounted, low back pressure, tabletop conveyor to orient the containers such that they can be discharged form the machine in a single row.

The model 2812 is typically used for square and rectangular containers and offers the fastest speeds of the Dyco semi-automatic debaggers. The operator places a bundle on the back of the machine in the slit and strip area. The operator feeds the bag into a hooked safety knife and depresses a foot pedal. The foot pedal actuates a pneumatic cylinder to which the knife is mounted, which travels across the side of the bundle, cutting one edge of the bundle open. The operator then pulls the bag from the containers opposite the knife location, stripping the bag off the bundle. Once the bag is removed from the bundles, the operator actuates the lift gate with another foot pedal. The lift gate opens and the containers travel down a mat top accumulation conveyor to the feed end of the machine. Once the containers are clear, the gate lowers and the knife returns to it’s home position. Square and rectangular containers travel down the mat top conveyor to the indexing feed end of the machine. The indexer works in conjunction with a “hold down” mechanism that holds the previous row of containers back, eliminating interference and pressure from the row being discharged. Once the hold down is in place the backer bar retracts, and the bottles are pushed out of the machine by a side mounted wiper mechanism. The wiper mechanism is driven with a variable frequency drive controlled motor and accelerates the containers onto the exit conveyor, which carries the containers single file, typically onto an accumulation conveyor to a filler.

PET Bottle Debagger

Click image to watch video

Designed to handle square or rectangular PET bottles, our debagging system increases the efficiency by eliminating jams due to sticky PET bottles.

The process begins when the operator places a bundle in the slice and strip area at the back of the machine. Here, the operator feeds the bag into a hooked safety knife prior to pressing the bag-slice foot pedal. This action actuates the pneumatic powered safety knife to slice open the bag making it possible for the operator to easily strip the plastic film away. Another foot pedal actuates the lift gate, which opens to release the newly stripped bundle onto a Mat Top Accumulation Table. The machine automatically detects when the bottles clear the lift gate and lowers it for the operator to repeat the slice and strip process.

Square and rectangular containers travel down the Mat Top Conveyor to the indexing feed end of the machine. The indexer works in conjunction with a "hold down" mechanism that holds the previous row of containers back, eliminating interference and pressure from the row being discharged. Once the hold down is in place, the backer bar retracts and the bottles are pushed out of the machine by a side mounted wiper mechanism. The wiper mechanism is driven with a variable frequency drive controlled motor and accelerates the containers onto the exit conveyer, which carries the containers single file, typically onto an accumulation conveyer to a filler.

Why Choose Dyco

Easy to use foot controls keep hands free and out of the way
Designed to handle square or rectangular bottles
Dyco patented hold down device and indexer eliminates jamming between sticky PET bottles
Works for both PET and HDPE containers
