Sewell, NJ - July 1, 2002

Industrial Equipment & Design Company, IEDCO, continuing to break new ground with their innovative designs, announces the introduction of their Semi-Automatic Bag Cutter/Shaker to their expanding product line. Custom designed to fit any bag dumping station, the IEDCO Semi-Automatice Bag Cutter/Shaker is designed with safet, efficiency and ergonomics in mind.

It features an automatic, "hands-off" bag cutting and shaking system which empties approximately 95% of a conventional paper sack's contents before the operator has to lift and "assist" with emptying the minimal amount of powder remaining. This virtually eliminates the need for knives and potential injuries like knife cuts and carpal tunnel syndrome that are currently occuring with normal, manual dumping systems.
