Abstract
An extendable bag roller for supporting a bag of material during removal of the material from the bag includes a bag support having a curved surface configured to support the bag of material on the curved surface and a roller that rolls along the curved surface of the bag support to squeeze the material out of the bag. The bag support includes a base defining a first portion of the curved surface of the bag support and an extension defining a second portion of the curved surface of the bag support, the extension being moveable to selectively increase and decrease the area of the curved surface of the bag support to accommodate different bag sizes.
