PURPOSE:To empty tomato paste effectively by a method wherein an upper part pressing member of a U-shape in the cross section which is opened downwardly and a ring-shaped lower part pressing member are connected by a plurality of foot pieces and an ear piece is provided protrudingly and opposingly on the upper part pressing member. CONSTITUTION:A large-sized container which houses a packing bag charged with tomato paste is moved to a specific position below a gate 51 of an inserting device, a container lid is taken off, an upper surface of the packing bag is cut and opened, and an end piece thus opened is bent over an external periphery. At this stage, hooks 81a and 82a of the inserting device are hooked upon ear pieces 41 to 44 of an opening device, while the opening device is moved up to a specific position. Next, this opening device is lowered down by an elevator means through a support frame 71 and the hooks 81a and 82a, the lower part pressing member 21 and foot pieces 31 to 36 are inserted into the packing bag, the upper part pressing members 11 to 13 are fitted into an upper edge of a container while pinching an end part of the packing bag and fixed by a clamp, and then the hooks 81a and 82a are taken out of the ear pieces 41 to 44. Finally, the container is moved to an opening position, reversed upside down, and thereby the tomato paste is emptied out of the packing bag. |
