PAL-FAST-MF Manual Fed Option
Overview
The PAL F-AST Fully Automatic Sack Tip both controls and contains the dust that is generated when opening sacks of raw materials and ingredients at infeed stations. This latest addition to Palamatic’s powder handling solutions also eliminates any risk to the operator by slitting the sack automatically. This solution is ideal for everything from retro-fitting to existing infeed stations, or can even be designed into new expansion facilities. This product suits all food, pharmaceutical and chemical industry powders.
