RAGT required a fully automatic bagging line for pre-made open-mouth bags of various sizes and a Big-Bag filling station for efficiently filling with seeds. And a palletizer plus protection system for the pallets and the large Big-Bag sacks. With 21 breeding stations, 20 subsidiaries worldwide, and a commercial presence in 48 countries, RAGT from Spain stands out as one of Europe’s leading multi-species seed producers and researchers. Its diverse product portfolio includes corn, sorghum, cereals, oilseeds, protein crops, forages, cover crops, and fertilizers. Bagging Line * Fully automatic open-mouth bagger with easy bag size change and double labelling system. * Low-level infeed palletizer. * Pallet wrapper with labelling system. * Big-Bag filling station. Requirements When the company planned the construction of a new plant in Northern Spain, they turned to PAYPER once more as the provider of the full packaging line for the setup. RAGT had two main requirements. The first was a fully automatic bagging line capable of efficiently filling pre-made open-mouth bags of various sizes with seeds. The second was a Big-Bag filling station for the same product, seeds. Alongside the two bagging systems,

Thanks to the powerful weighing and control technology, up to 40 big bags can be filled per hour. Each big bag has a net weight of 1200 kg. High throughput with W&M approved SysTec weighing indicators When it comes to filling raw materials into big bags, high throughputs are crucial. Therefore, SIBELCO uses a fully automatic EMDE station for cristobalite filling with a W&M approved SysTec weighing indicator IT8000E. Products: * IT8000E: robust SysTec weighing terminal for continuous operation * SysTec application software BIG BAG E ensures fast big bag filling processes * Fully automatic EMDE filling station with robot handling The key facts * 40 filled big bags per hour * 1200 kg net weight per big bag * W&M approved weighing electronics * Recipe management via PLC * Fast implementation of the fully automatic filling station by EMDE In Dessel, Belgium, SIBELCO operates the fully automatic filling station for cristobalite - designed and installed by the plant manufacturer EMDE within a short period of time. Thanks to the powerful weighing and control technology, up to 40 big bags can be filled per hour. Each big bag has a net weight of 1200 kg.

The VeloVac-XL vacuum system from Greif-Velox offers virtually dust-free and compact bagging of ultra-light powders thanks to an innovative technology: a completely closed vacuum chamber. Until now, ultra-light powders such as carbon black or pyrogenic silica were particularly difficult to bag safely and compactly in FIBCs (”BigBags”) due to their nature. Maschinenfabrik Greif-Velox now offers a unique solution with the vacuum technology of the VeloVac XL: It ensures clean, fast and compact bagging, which minimises logistics and transport costs as well as product loss and increases work safety. At the same time, the use of the larger containers ensures economic and ecological advantages. Innovative vacuum technology The VeloVac-XL vacuum system from Greif-Velox offers virtually dust-free and compact bagging of ultra-light powders thanks to an innovative technology: The powders with particle sizes of less than 200 micrometres and a bulk density of 10 to 450 grams per litre are filled in a completely closed vacuum chamber. In contrast to pump packer systems, an atmospheric vacuum is generated in this chamber, which sucks the product directly into

Precisely Fitting System for Production in Cramped Conditions When it comes to procuring new machines and plant, cramped space conditions at the installation location can quickly become a problem. And this is by no means just the case when an additional component is to be incorporated into an existing process. Space is also often scarce in new production halls planned from scratch. If, on top of this, many different production and process steps have to be represented and seamlessly linked to each other, plant planners quickly come up against their limits with standardized components. This challenge was also faced by a producer from the chemical industry, who was looking for a suitable system unit for the production hall they were planning. The task: Different chemical products were to be freed from coarse particles at the end of the manufacturing process and then placed in dosed amounts in big bags. Process Section no. 1: The Removal of Coarse Particles In this special use case the vibration screening machine is to be installed,

Global demand for premium-quality baby milk powders is rising, and milk production in Europe is expected to increase due to the elimination of milk quotas in the EU. This will create opportunities for European milk powder producers. Dinnissen has now developed an innovative technology specifically for the purpose of filling Big Bags hygienically in clean rooms in order to control the end quality of the production process and extend the shelf life of the final product. The new concept focuses on optimizing and maintaining the cleanliness of the clean rooms, implementing extra hygienic measures during the filling process, and preventing contamination via pallets. The process of filling Big Bags with baby milk powder starts with ensuring that the clean room is ultra clean and remains ultra clean. The Big Bag filling concept created by Dinnissen therefore starts by ensuring that dirt-sensitive pallets are kept out of the clean room. During the filling process, Big Bags

Drum palettising and filling line BP-matic installed recently a automatic drum palettsising and drum filling line for Werf & Vlasnatie in Antwerp. Automatic installation with an articulated 4-axis robot to paletise empty drums on a wooden pallet (4 drums of 200 liters/pallet or 9 drums of 60 liters/pallet. After palettisation, the drums are automatically transferred to 2 semi-automatic filling lines (filling by weight). Installation is partially executed in a flame proof version for use in hazardous area. Installation is capable to fill more than 120 drums of 200 litres/hour.
