A suction bag emptying device adapted to puncture a suction bag without making contact therewith, comprising:
- a container adapted to receive the suction bag, the container includes a discharge point adapted to discharge contents of the suction bag;
- and
- an intermediate container adapted to receive contents of the suction bag, the intermediate container includes:
- a first channel adapted to convey negative pressure into the emptying device, wherein the first channel includes a first valve;
- and
- a second channel including a second valve and adapted to discharge contents of the suction bag.
An assembly comprising:
- a suction bag and a suction bag emptying device adapted to puncture the suction bag without making contact therewith,
- wherein the suction bag includes a lid and a bag portion fixedly fastened to the lid, and
- wherein the suction bag emptying device includes:
- a container having a discharge point adapted to discharge contents of the suction bag, and
- an intermediate container adapted to receive contents of the suction bag, wherein the intermediate container includes:
- a first channel adapted to convey negative pressure into the suction bag emptying device, wherein the first channel includes a first valve;
- and
- a second channel having a second valve and adapted to discharge contents of the suction bag.
A method for emptying a suction bag comprising:
- selecting an emptying device adapted to puncture the suction bag without making contact therewith, the emptying device including a container having a discharge point adapted to discharge contents of the suction bag and an intermediate container adapted to receive contents of the suction bag, the intermediate container includes a first channel including a first valve adapted to convey negative pressure into the emptying device, and a second channel adapted to discharge contents of the suction bag and including a second valve;
- placing the suction bag in the container;
- opening the first valve to convey negative pressure into the emptying device, thereby causing the suction bag to puncture;
- closing the first valve;
- opening the second valve;
- and
