Compaction of Ultra-Lightweight Powders as a Logistics Efficiency Factor Ultra-lightweight powders such as pigments, carbon black, silica, cellulose fibres or specialty additives present a fundamental challenge: During filling, the material contains a high proportion of air. If this air is not specifically removed, it significantly reduces the effective product quantity per bag and per transport unit. The Influence of Bulk Density on Container Utilization A standard 20-foot container typically holds approximately: 10,080 kg per container when pigments are packed using conventional filling methods. By applying vacuum-assisted compaction during the filling process, container loads of up to 27,600 kg per container can be achieved. This corresponds to an increase of: +17,520 kg of product per container. The product, container size and mode of transport remain unchanged. The difference lies solely in the reduction of the air content within the bag. Economic Considerations Assuming a product value of €200 per kilogram, the calculation is as follows: 17,520 kg × €200/kg = €3,504,000 additional product value per container. This example illustrates the significant impact

The process-oriented Web Yard software solution from Rothenbacher GmbH optimises and automates the logistics and loading processes in your plant. Specially developed for the building materials industry - cement, sand, gravel, lime, asphalt and concrete - it enables controlled 24/7 self-service in dispatch processes and thus increases the efficiency of your workflows. Web Yard accompanies the entire vehicle dispatch process within a plant: * Plant entrance: drivers register at self-service terminals using RFID or QR code and gain access to the plant premises. Safety instructions can also be handled digitally. * Weighing & loading: After the initial weighing, the driver is directed to the correct loading or unloading terminal. The automated loading process starts with a new identification via RFID or QR code. * Factory exit: Before leaving the factory, the vehicle is weighed again to calculate the load quantity. Web Yard® then creates the digital delivery note,

SSB Wägetechnik GmbH offers the fastest palletizing robot in its class with ultra high speed in the field of bag palletizing and carton palletizing. Intelligent robots perform a wide range of tasks in warehouse logistics and have been established there for years. In warehouse management, for example, they take over stacking, filling and depalletizing, are integrated into sorting systems or transport goods on roller conveyors.

Our Ai1800 robot simplifies your palletizing operations: It palletizes reliably, efficiently, packs safely and compactly for further transport. Advantages of robotAi1800 * The Ai1800 robot achieves a maximum output of 1,200 bags per hour at 25kg/ bag. * In pallet handling, it can serve up to 3 lines and there is no confusion in palletizing. * Integrated software: simple user structure, layer patterns and pallet layout can be created and changed by the user, adaptive, fast and flexible. * Low energy consumption with

Lafarge Zementwerke GmbH in Mannersdorf, Austria, has commissioned BEUMER Group to install a conveying system for alternative fuels and raw materials. The customer benefits from an optimum price-performance ratio and state-of-the art technology. For an economical and sustainable operation, the Austrian plant Mannersdorfof Lafarge Zementwerke GmbH relies on plastic waste as an alternative fuel and raw material. When the old conveying system was irreparably damaged after a fire in June 2020, the owner commissioned BEUMER Group to supply a new and more powerful system. The order includes two Pipe Conveyors, which convey the material. The first conveyor has a diameter of 200 millimetres and a length of 87 metres. Its conveying capacity amounts to ten tons per hour. The second Pipe Conveyor is 192 metres long, has a diameter of 250 millimetres and a conveying capacity of 22 tons per hour. The lifting heights amount to approx. 39 metres and the maximum angle of inclination is 15 degrees. There are also three buffer bins and a weigh feeder. In addition to the delivery and installation, the BEUMER team also handles engineering and commissioning. "As a team, we were able to convince the persons responsible of our

Fully automated tyre transport system at HeidelbergCement ensures continuous feed of waste tyres as secondary The manufacture of cement is particularly energy-intensive. To reduce the use of valuable primary fuels like coal, HeidelbergCement is opting for alternative fuels, such as waste tyres. The calorific value of rubber is comparable to that of hard coal. And because the iron from the armouring can be incorporated mineralogically into the cement, it reduces the need to add ferrous corrective substances. Beumer group supplied the fully-automated system that sorts, separates and regulates the tyres of different sizes and weights and feeds them to the rotary kiln inlet. The system supplier also took over the installation and provided the steel structure. Thanks to the new system, the kiln of the cement plant is now fed with a constant stream of material. The tyres that are used are production waste coming from the manufacturers as well as waste tyres from trucks and cars. This also means that they vary greatly: their diameters vary between min. 300 and max. 1,600 millimetres,

with MPERIA™ and the VIAjet™ T-Series Problems with the Previous Printing System The Südstärke GmbH produces potato starch for the food, paper, textile and technical industries. It looked for a new solution to label sack goods quickly and legibly. The requirements for labeling continuously increase; due to internationalization, Asian and Arabic characters as well as detailed descriptions are necessary, among other things. Single-line labeling was no longer sufficient and the print height was limited to 50 mm with the current system. Forklift operators and others taking part in the logistics process should be able to quickly recognize, scan and process the goods. The cartridge printing system used until now made an extremely muddy imprint and had to be guided along the product very closely. Also, because of these stipulated requirements, ink consumption was very high. The Matthews Solution Matthews recommended a solution with the MPERIA™ universal printing platform combined with

A new dimension in supply chain by Indus Integrated Bulk Logistics Indus Integrated Bulk Logistics, situated in Veenendaal, The Netherlands, offers by her logistic systems and concepts for the storage, transport and handling of solids a new dimension in the Supply Chain of bulk materials. Besides the possibility to use the systems of Indus in internal logistic environments as a solution for the safe storage, stacking and hygienic handling of bulk materials in Big Bags, Indus Integrated Bulk Logistics also focuses on the supply chain where as well as the producer as the processor of the bulk materials can profit from the advantages of the systems. At Supply Chain the cost of return logistics are a important element of success. The systems of Indus can reach a return rate of 8% of the original loaded volume. The Indus Neva and the Indus Isar offer solutions for bulk materials in packaging units up to 2.000 kg. or 2 m3.
