An apparatus 101 for opening a sealed sack comprises a housing 102 having a material outlet 103. A support table 104 is mounted within the housing, the support table having a surface 105 for supporting a sack. A blade assembly 108 is mounted within the housing and configured to hold a blade 109 for cutting a sack when located on the support table. A first engagement mechanism 106 is configured to retain the support table in position, and a second engagement mechanism 110 is configured to retain the blade assembly in position. At least one of the engagement mechanisms is configured to be releasable to enable the support table and/or the blade assembly to be removed from the housing. Also envisaged is an apparatus for emptying a sack characterised by a transfer mechanism 111 configured to lift an open ended sack from a support table and move the sack to a separation position. Also envisaged is an apparatus for emptying a sack characterised by a sack retaining structure 112 supported by a support arm 113 driven by a drive mechanism 116 wherein the sack retaining structure is pivotally mounted on the support arm. |
