Bag Opening
Modular Front Ends and Pre-Processing Units
- Almost 100% opening rates – even bags in bags are opened for the most part
- Optimum opening solutions for collection points, recycling centres and recycling plants
- Bag opening with filling systems and separation concepts
The correct tearing of garbage bags is essential for all further treatment steps. Mechanical separation in particular is made much easier by processing unshredded material. We offer you a choice of different solutions.

System Components

BRT HARTNER BO Bag Opener
The bag opener achieves a virtually 100% opening rate thanks to the relative movement of its two separately driven drum halves. Even bags inside the bags are opened as far as possible. The material is not shredded during the process, which also significantly reduces the risk of fire due to incorrectly placed batteries.

Conveyor Technology
This system solution also includes conveyor belts from our own production. We stock a wide range of different belt types and systems in order to offer the right solution for every system.

Turnstile
The turnstile is the solution for filling two containers – one after the other or alternately. The conveyor belt is reversible so that two containers can be filled with different materials using a pre-shredder. One push of a button is all it takes to switch between the containers.

Electrical Overbelt Magnet
The electric overbelt magnet is a standard component. The powerful design ensures precise ferrous metal separation. It is therefore perfect for sorting out nails, hinges and staples from waste wood or removing ferrous metals from household waste, lightweight packaging and many other input streams.

BRT HARTNER SD Screen Drum
The robust BRT HARTNER SD screen drum can be perfectly adapted to different requirements thanks to its interchangeable screening elements. With a choice of square or round holes of up to 300 mm, it is also perfect for screening coarse materials.

Variable System Layout
The illustrations of our system solutions are examples. The layout of the system components can be adapted and rearranged accordingly. By using modern 3D scanners, we can also create detailed replicas of existing buildings and thus design a perfect concept for your demands.
