Bag Opener

The SCARAB Model 15 Bag Breaker is designed to release waste material from plastic bags by slicing the bags open, rather than grinding or shredding them into small pieces. The bags are opened, but generally remain in one piece; leaving the plastic in a recyclable condition, and eliminating the need to screen small plastic shards from the waste stream.
