Schlitz-O-Mat

Client: BRT Recycling Technologie GmbH

The mobile bag opener combines the world's leading BRT bag opener technology with unlimited mobility. The new mobile technology of the SCHLITZ-O-MAT M is not subject to the complex approval procedures of stationary solutions. The mobile bag opener can be up and running in no time at all. Like a normal motor vehicle, it can be used in a wide variety of locations. This means that different locations can be flexibly supplied with just one machine.

Typical to BRT's rugged design, the Schlitz-O-Mat is impervious to contaminants. Whether it is heavy household waste, commercial waste, organic waste or other difficult materials, it reliably opens and empties garbage bags and feeds the material into the sorting process, loosened and metered. Equipped with an integrated conveyor belt and hydraulic cooling or heating, it can be used in all climatic conditions. Its own power supply makes it self-sufficient. It is also easy to operate, quiet and economical: optionally equipped with a diesel engine or direct power supply, it is characterized by its low energy consumption.

Design variations created in 3D

Moving to a 3D workspace brings the product to life, not only allowing the team to view it from all angles, but to consider more functional aspects. Here the team considers, and iterates on the product's manufacturability, disassembly and reassembly, physical form and scale, transportability and scalability for different use cases.
