ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A device is provided for opening bags and discharging their con- tents, Such a device comprises an open topped container, having a pair of mutually opposed end walls, an open bottom (which preferably is covered with a perforated or mesh material), and a cutting blade within the con- tainer, the blade consisting essentially of a pair of thin, substantially rectangular blades joined together at adjacent ends to be of inverted "V"- shape, with the other ends of the blades being secured to the respective opposed end walls, and with the apex of the inverted "V" situated near the center of the container. It is noted that the bag is opened and discharged through a side thereof, and not, as traditionally done, through the opened top. A device is thus provided which short-cuts the time required to open and empty bags containing dry products. The screen in the preferred embodiment can hold back and eventually sieve lumps that are common in many dry products, e.g., bagged fertilizer and bagged cement. The device can also be set directly over a hopped, and from there can be augered into a fertilizer or other dry solids container. In this way, a farmer can quickly and conveniently convert from bagged to bulk dry solids.
