Bag emptyingstations
Efficient solutions for dusty bulk materials
Precision, ergonomics and efficient dust control: Handling sensitive bulk materials calls for well-considered, highly specialised containment solutions. This applies in particular to the emptying of sacks containing powdery or fine-grained ingredients. The bag emptying stations from rubitec ag deliver exactly that: a closed working area using gloves (glove box), or for less hazardous substances a hood with an integrated extraction system – for greater safety, hygiene and efficiency throughout the production process.
Bag emptying stations from rubitec ag: when things get dusty
A bag emptying station is a containment system for safely emptying sacks of solid substances with minimal dust, for example additives, raw materials or auxiliary agents. The station forms a shielded working area in which sacks are opened manually or semi-automatically and emptied under control. Integrated extraction prevents fine particles from spreading. This is ideal for handling sensitive and health-critical substances.
Modern bag emptying stations are used wherever powdered or granulated products have to be processed safely, for example when dosing auxiliary substances in the pharmaceutical industry or handling dusty additives, fillers or reagents in chemical production. Safe bag emptying is also indispensable in food processing and cosmetics, particularly with sensitive ingredients or allergens.
Low-dust, efficient & flexible:
the advantages of the RUBITEC bag emptying station
The practical RUBITEC containment solutions for bag emptying offer high functionality in the smallest space – and can be adapted flexibly to your processes. All components are designed for a closed material flow, so containment is preserved in full:
- Bag emptying station: with bag lock and controlled negative pressure
- Extraction included: Direct fine dust extraction during opening and emptying
- Push-push filter (H13/H14): for a contamination-free filter change
- Ergonomic operation: Adjustable working height, for maximum flexibility
- Cleaning-friendly design: Smooth surfaces and simple dismantling make cleaning easier. CIP or WIP cleaning is also possible, without opening the system and without a break in containment.
- Compact construction: Ideal even where space is limited
On request, the bag emptying station can also be extended modularly, for example with sieve mills, sampling units, dosing equipment, R-PTS and a bag press. Connection to a customer-side process control system (PCS) is also possible, both pneumatically (compressed-air controlled) and electrically via a safety PLC.
rubitec ag – your bag emptying station
made to measure
As a Swiss company with many years of experience in process and containment technology, we develop modular solutions matched exactly to your requirements. Our bag emptying stations are designed for safety, ease of operation and durability, from the first consultation through to commissioning.
Depending on requirements, customer-specific special solutions are also possible, such as a closed design with a SmartDock glove box, which provides reliable product protection and operator safety even at high OEB levels (e.g. OEB 5–6). In some cases mobile bag emptying is also an option, for instance where locations change or space is limited. Whether a compact solution for individual applications or an integrated system with automatic conveying: we will find the right system together with you.

FAQ on our bag emptying stations
Bag emptying stations allow sacks of powdery or fine-grained substances to be emptied quickly, cleanly and safely. The dust is extracted reliably and at high speed. They therefore make an important contribution to product safety and health protection.
Typical applications are found in the pharmaceutical and chemical industry as well as in food and cosmetics production – wherever sensitive bulk materials are delivered in sacks and have to be processed further.
The stations have a modular design. Depending on requirements, a lump breaker, a suction shoe or further containment components such as the proven R-PTS can be integrated. If the containment level needs to exceed OEB 3, the sack is placed in a liner and this liner is docked via our SmartDock, allowing up to OEB 6 to be achieved.
The systems are easy to clean. Many variants are additionally equipped with CIP or WIP technology, for automated cleaning without opening the system.
For particularly high protection requirements, e.g. at OEB level 4, 5 or 6, RUBITEC offers closed designs with a SmartDock glove box.
