BEUMER Group GmbH & Co. KG

Whether cement, limestone or diverse types of plaster– the high-performance BEUMER fillpac® RH/ RV rotary impeller filling system cleanly, accurately and reliably fills up to 260 tonnes of finegrained materials per hour into various bag sizes. Bags with a length of up to 800 mm can now also be filled. A high-performance drive increases the availability of the impeller packer. Even materials which are difficult can be reliably processed. The new design improves the material flow through the filling spouts.

The BEUMER fillpac^® FFS fulfills three functions with one compact and space-saving system: It forms bags from a prefabricated tubular PE film and fills them with the corresponding product and seals bags at a capacity of 2,600 bags per hour. The filling process is carried out reliably, gently and sustainably. Moreover, an integrated weighing unit ensures exact filling results.

High-level palletisers for sensitive bagged goods

BEUMER paletpac® systems are characterised by exceptional stack quality and reliability. A multi-program interface includes all common packing patterns, and can be individually adjusted to the different requirements of the chemical, food, and building materials industries. The BEUMER palletising systems are particularly suited for sensitive bagged goods such as plasters, screeds, animal feed, granulated material and pulverized or micronized chemical products.

The models in the lower performance range can achieve throughputs of 600 to 2,500 bags per hour. Their special design with a ventilated stacking table and special coatings reduces friction. The stateof- the-art drive system minimises noise and wear. Motors that save energy due to frequency controls and servo technology, product-specific turning devices, and optimal electric control systems ensure efficient, safe and precise palletising.

Practical, efficient and space-saving packaging technology

How do you find an even more economical way of hooding palletised goods? By using the highly efficient and compact BEUMER stretch hood® A from the high-capacity BEUMER stretch hood® packaging system model range. It impresses with improved system performance, ergonomic operation and a space-saving format. This is BEUMER's new response to the increasing demand for machine safety and economic efficiency in the packaging industry.

In many industries, not only bagged goods need to be palletised, but also cartons, cardboard boxes, crates or canisters. BEUMER Group has developed flexible robotic palletisers with gripper elements to meet the different requirements of these items. The BEUMER robotpac® series ensures firstclass stack quality, gentle product handling and high reliability.

Secure packaging

BEUMER Group will exhibit its expertise as a system provider for complete high-capacity packaging lines at POWTECH 2019 in Nuremberg from April 9 – 11, hall 1, booth 627. BEUMER Group optimizes the performance of each machine, its components and the high-level controls to ensure high throughput of the lines for (petro)chemical products and building materials.

The behaviour of powders and bulk material can change entirely according to operating conditions, handling methods and the intended use, whether it is for (petro)chemical products or building materials. This impacts the flow behaviour, which has a considerable influence on how to optimally design the conveying, filling, palletising and packaging systems. BEUMER Group designs, constructs and installs systems that are tailored in detail to industry-specific requirements.

The BEUMER fillpac R filling machine fills bulk material from the building materials industry and other industrial pulverized goods into different bag sizes and types like valve bottom and flat valve bags in an efficient and gentle way and with the required throughput. The structure of the materials can be very fine to very coarse. The BEUMER bag placer and the ream magazine supply the rotary filling machine with empty bags to ensure the high throughput. The highly efficient form fill seal system BEUMER fillpac FFS is used in the chemical and petrochemical industries. It forms bags from a prefabricated tubular PE film and fills them with the product. The customers can select the optimal machine performance class from this product family depending on their requirements.

BEUMER Group offers different palletising solutions, depending on the packaged items. The BEUMER paletpac is suited best for bulk material. It is incorporated into high-performance packaging lines to process even sensitive and valuable products as well as products with special flow characteristics in a gentle and efficient manner. Depending on the product requirements, these palletisers can be equipped with a clamp-type or twin-belt turning device which turns the filled bags quickly into the required position for stacking, ensuring their dimensional stability without any deformations.

Products for the (petro)chemical industries are filled in special bags, barrels, canisters, cartons or buckets. To palletise them, BEUMER Group offers its space-saving articulated robot, the BEUMER robotpac. Depending on the packaged items, BEUMER Group equips the robot with the appropriate gripping tools which can be easily and automatically changed, if the packaged items change. The fork gripper for example was designed specifically for palletising cardboard boxes, the finger gripper for bagged goods. For maximum performance, BEUMER Group offers a double gripper for both types. They also offer parallel grippers for dimensionally stable packed items, suction grippers for items with a smooth surface and many other special grippers and combination tools.

Packaged items stacked accurately on pallets can then be transported successfully to the downstream packaging system – for example, the BEUMER stretch hood. It covers the palletised goods with a highly stretchable film. During transshipment and outside storage, the merchandise is protected reliably against environmental influences such as sunlight, dirt and humidity.
