The Scorpio Bag Slitter comes in 2 models:  Multicut (20 bags per minute):  The Multicut is a versatile automatic slitter and can cut any type of bag be it paper or polythene. It is ideally suited to Indian conditions where the raw materials in bags are not properly sealed. The bags are impaled onto a high speed cutting knife. To impale the bags against the knife the machine drops  the bag from a height of about 2 to 3 feet onto the blade. The moment the bag is slit, the material spills out. After this, the cut bag is tumbled in an inclined wire mesh drum in which the bag is repeatedly lifted and dropped as it moves forward to the exit. Material falls through the mesh to a collection hopper while the cut bag pieces find their way to a bag compactor. The Minislit:  MINISLIT 3000 (3 bags / min.) The Minislit 3000 is available with either the band knife cutting system or the twin rotary disc cutting system. - [Linered Container Filling & Discharge](https://scorpiobmh.com/product/linered-container-filling-discharging/): LINERED CONTAINER FILLING & DISCHARGING : Most dry bulk materials in common use are invariably bagged in 25 kg., 50 kg. or 1 tonne Jumbo Bags.

Our customers value our dense phase system for ✅ Lowest energy consumption per ton due to our unique "twin-pulse" air knife system ✅ Dust free operation ✅ We can handle abrasive, and friable materials ✅ Continuous or batch conveying ✅ Long-distance upto 1000m ✅ Low conveying velocities ensure zero erosion ✅ No pipeline blockage ✅ Maintenance Free - [FLAT STORAGE](https://scorpiobmh.com/product/flat-storage/): Scorpio BMH offers low cost value engineered Flat Storage Systems for cement for capacities from 1000 MT to 50000 MT. Two types of systems are offered, one with a conventional reclaim system using pay-loaders and the other being an automatic discharge system with a fluidized floor which eliminates the need for any human entry into the Flat Storage area during the reclaim process. The structure of the Flat Storage building comprises of rigid frame portals covered by light weight, weatherproof coated metal sheets. Level switches, automatic filters are provided to control the height of the cement heaps inside the building […] - [Bag Dump Stations](https://scorpiobmh.com/product/bag-dump-stations/): Scorpio's Bag Dump station provides the platform where operator cuts open the bag and dumps the powder which is then conveyed downstream into silos. Finely powdered materials  tend to create hazardous and unhealthy dust clouds at the unloading / discharging point and create pollution problems and material wastage. The Scorpio Bag Dump Station is designed to solve these problems by ensuring powder material unloaded into the unit is captured at can velocity ensuring dust free operation.   - [Big Bag Filling Machines](https://scorpiobmh.com/product/big-bag-filling-machines/): Scorpio’s F.I.B.C. (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers) FILLERS are completely self-contained units that come in a “ready-to-use” condition. All you have to do is provide a one-point power and compressed air supply! - [Big Bag Unloaders](https://scorpiobmh.com/product/big-bag-unloader-machine/): Special built-in sequentially operated massager units that gently push the material out of the bag discharge opening. - [Bin Vent Filters](https://scorpiobmh.com/product/bin-vent-filters/): Scorpio’s Bin Vent Filters are used in Pneumatic Conveying Systems as the final element to prevent any dust carry-over to the environment. The bag cleaning is done by an electronically controlled valve with timer. Bin Vent Filters can be mounted on bins and silos where there are no headroom restrictions. Available in different sizes and materials of construction depending on application. Scorpio can manufacture top loading, bottom loading and side loading of the filter elements to suit critical site requirements. The dust particles down to 0.3 micron can be filtered by a special filter element.   - [Open Truck Unloaders](https://scorpiobmh.com/product/open-truck-unloaders-otu/): Scorpio’s Open Truck Unloader is a mobile bulk material unloading unit designed for unloading dry bulk materials from standard open trucks. Many materials which are low in cost cannot be transported in bags and are often transported loose in bulk in standard open trucks. The unloading of this loose material after the truck reaches the destination is now done manually creating major dust and health problems. The OTU is designed to eliminate such manual unloading The unit consists of a hydraulically articulated 3-arm boom with a suction nozzle and suction pipe attached to it. This boom will enter the truck from the rear and is operated by a radio remote controlled hand held pendant unit The bulk material is sucked out through the suction nozzle / pipe into a filter receiver where the bulk material and conveying air get separated. The air exits through a built-in automatically cleaned reverse jet filter unit to the suction port of a special type Roots Blower. The collected bulk material in the filter receiver drops to a conveying pipe below through a Rotary Valve. This conveying pipe receives motive-conveying air from a different Roots blower meant only for the discharge operation. The bulk material which falls into the conveying piping from the 2 Nos. Rotary Valves of the primary cyclone and filter is conveyed to the customer silo pneumatically by this blower. The customer silo should have a suitable filter on top. The unit is self-contained on a skid and can be mounted on heavy-duty trailer (optional). The unit has a Motor Control Centre (MCC) on a skid and a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) based control panel for controlling various operations. The material of construction is suitably selected for abrasive duty. - [Powder Handling Pump Systems](https://scorpiobmh.com/product/powder-handling-pump-systems/): The powder handling pump system is a new innovation in dense phase pneumatic transport allowing customers to choose standard models such that they can transport dry bulk materials within the plant without the need to purchase and assemble individual system components. Description: The unit consists of a steel frame sized such that two units can fit into one standard 20ft container. The steel frame houses two dense phase pneumatic transfer vessels, an oil free screw compressor, instrumentation, valves, controls and pneumatic pinch valves at the outlet. The system is engineered to cycle between the two dense phase transporters so that continuous conveying is possible. The customer places the equipment where he has the material for conveying. Installation: The conveying pipeline is then connected to the flange of the powder pump. The inlet flange mounted on top, flush with the steel frame level, receives product from any one of the following customer equipment: Overhead Silo Inclined Screw Conveyor Inclined Aero-mechanical Conveyor Inclined Spiral Conveyor Big Bag Unloader Any other feed method   [comment]: # (Generated by Hostinger Tools Plugin)
