Description/Abstract A study was made of the use of a Taunton Engineering Company (TECO) RTS-100 automatic bag opener and a bag compactor to empty carbon black, clay, and other material from bags and to charge the bagged materials into a mixer at an adhesives, coatings, and sealant division of 3M Company in Grove City, Ohio.^The potential hazards associated with this operation are the exposure to airborne dusts generated through handling of the bags and the physical stresses arising from lifting the 50 pound bags manually.^The study showed that the TECO RTS-100 automatic bag opener and its trash compactor did not create dust emissions, with the exception of the dust emitted at the inlet to the system.
