Semi-Automatic Debagging

Dyco invented Single Tier Debagging - Setting the Industry Standard.

Overview

An operator places a bundle on the machine, cuts the bundle open utilizing an automatic slitter knife and strips the bag from the containers. The operator then actuates a gate; the bundle travels down a mat top accumulation table. Containers are then side indexed onto a take away conveyor in a single file for square or rectangular containers, or funneled down to a single file for round containers.

Operation

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 that the knife is mounted on, 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, while the containers are indexed with 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.

Round containers travel down a series of table top conveyor chains moving at progressively increasing speed to single file the containers. There is also a side mounted low backpressure tabletop conveyor to assist in the single filing containers. Containers exit the machine in-line with the flow of the accumulation table on a single tabletop conveyor, typically onto an accumulation conveyor to a filler.

Features & Benefits - Square Containers

• Guaranteed to maintain container orientation
• Live mat top accumulation table (available in 36” or 48” wide) (optional accumulation table extensions available)
• Live 3.25” table top discharge conveyor with AC variable speed drive (optional additional table top conveyor available upon request)
• Safety cold knife assembly included in standard machine
• Container hold down and pressure release mechanisms on discharge end of machine to ensure container orientation is maintained and prevent jams
• Machine is readily adjustable for most square or rectangular containers
• Rated speed is dependent on operator’s ability to slit and strip bundles and subject to container review
