BEUMER Group provides palletising solutions for
various packaged products, packing patterns and
pallet sizes
Attractive design, reliable operation
EUMER Group, a single-source provider for filling, palletising
and packaging technologies, develops complete packaging
lines with perfectly compatible components. The right palletising
technology is key to achieving optimally packaged load units and
for the secure transportation of bags, buckets, packages or canisters.
As a system supplier, BEUMER Group customises these systems,
both the BEUMER paletpac and the BEUMER robotpac, to
match the individual customer's needs and takes product characteristics,
packing patterns and pallet sizes into consideration.
" We design the individual machine and components to perfectly
fit customers' specific needs and to ensure maximum throughput on
the packaging lines, " describes Gregor Baumeister, Director of the
Packaging and Palletising Division at BEUMER Group. This of course
also applies to the palletisers: they pick up the items and stack
them in the desired pattern on the respective pallets, before they
are wrapped with a stretch hood. The machines have to meet high
demands. " The merchandise must be stable and stacked neatly on
the pallet, " says Baumeister. " This ensures optimally packaged load
units for secure transport on trucks for example. "

Secure and neat stacks of bulk material
Products of the industries food, (petro)chemical, building materials
and other consumer goods are stored in special bags, barrels, canisters,
cartons or buckets. BEUMER
Group offers different solutions, depending
on the packaged items. The
BEUMER paletpac is suited best for
bulk material. This construction series
stacks the bags in a stable and precise
way on the pallets. The bags are
made out of paper, polyethylene or
polypropylene and are available in two
different designs: flat valve and valve
bottom bags.
The BEUMER paletpac
creates precise, stable,
space-saving bag stacks
Always the right gripper at hand
BEUMER Group's portfolio includes the BEUMER robotpac for palletising
different bagged items or unit loads such as barrels, cartons,
boxes, canisters, trays: a space-saving, fully automatic articulated
robot that solves complex palletising and de-palletising challenges
reliably and efficiently. The user receives gripping systems suitable
for all types of packaged goods, which can be easily exchanged.
" Together with our customers we have developed an extensive
know-how when it comes to control technology and the development
of grippers, " says Baumeister. " We offer different grippers for
different tasks. "
Handle virtually any bulk solid material
Flexicon stand-alone equipment and automated plant-wide systems convey, discharge,
condition, fill, dump and weigh batch bulk materials dust-free
lexicon engineers and manufactures a broad range of equipment
that handles virtually any bulk material, from large pellets
to sub-micron powders, including free-flowing and non-free-flowing
products that pack, cake, plug, smear, fluidize, or separate.
Individual bulk handling equipment includes: flexible screw conF
veyors,
tubular cable conveyors, pneumatic conveying systems,
bulk bag dischargers, bulk bag conditioners, bulk bag fillers, bag
dump stations, drum/box/container dumpers, and weigh batching/
blending systems. Each of these product groups encompasses a
broad range of models that can be custom engineered for specialized
applications, and integrated with new or existing upstream and
downstream processes and storage vessels.
All equipment is available to food, dairy, pharmaceutical and industrial
standards.
For large-scale bulk handling projects, Flexicon's separate
Project Engineering Division provides dedicated Project Managers
and engineering teams on four continents to handle projects from
concept to completion. Working with each customer's preferred engineering
firm or directly with their in-house team, Flexicon adheres
strictly to the customer's unique standards, documentation requirements
and timelines through a single point of contact, eliminating
the risk of coordinating multiple suppliers.
Flexicon's worldwide testing facilities simulate full-size customer
equipment and systems, verify performance prior to fabrication,
demonstrate newly constructed equipment for visiting customers,
