Introducing the Jacky® Reaper Knife
Many users of bulk bags have expressed concern about safety when placing their arm under suspended bulk bags to untie the chute. With workplace health and safety being top priorities, responsible business owners and factory supervisors take these concerns very seriously.
In this article we will show how the invention of the Jacky® Reaper Knife addresses these safety issues head-on, avoiding nasty accidents.
So, What’s a Reaper Knife?
The reaper knife is a sharp, curved blade mounted on a long handle or pole allowing users to effortlessly rip open the base of a bulk bag without having to put their body underneath the suspended bag. This allows the contents to be easily discharged into a Jacky® Bin or another receptacle.
Design
The Jacky ® Reaper Knife is thoughtfully designed and professionally constructed from quality steel, ensuring it remains useful for many years. Due to the blade being very sharp it is supplied with a protective sheath, and we recommend using it whenever the knife is not in use and storing it in a safe place. Although the knife does not come with the handle, this allows you to choose one that suits your requirements and helps keep the freight cost down for our customers. It comes with a pre-drilled hole where a simple broom handle can be screwed in.
Operating the Knife
Once your handle is attached, reach as far as you can with the knife and quickly draw it back, this cuts a slit along the bottom of the bag and lets the contents discharge.
