Vacuum bagging for “Battery Grade Carbon Black” at Birla Carbon

Clean, safe and scalable handling of extremely fine-powdered carbon black. When high-tech materials meet sophisticated packaging technology, precision is required.
Birla Carbon has set the bagging specialist Greif-Velox precisely this challenge. The world’s leading supplier of carbon black is expanding into electromobility with a newly developed product for lithium-ion batteries.
The carbon black variant from Birla Carbon is extremely fine-powdered, electrically conductive and essential for modern batteries. However, it is precisely these properties that make the material particularly difficult to handle: low density, high dust formation, high cleanliness requirements.

Efficient bagging for the battery technology of tomorrow

The solution? The VeloVac vacuum packer - specially developed for ultra-light powders such as carbon black, silica or color pigments. As a full-line system including ValvoSeal ultrasonic sealing and VeloPack handling robots, the complete package now offers Birla Carbon a fully automated, dust-free and highly scalable packaging process - from the product infeed to the finished stacked pallet.

Why Birla Carbon relies on GREIF-VELOX

Thanks to the vacuum process, Birla Carbon achieves up to 75% higher product compaction and thus not only reduces CO₂ emissions during transportation, but also the costs for packaging and logistics. The result: a clean, efficient and reliable process that runs around the clock - with minimal maintenance.
“The complete turnkey solution from GREIF-VELOX creates a globally unique packaging process for us,” says Zachary Combs, R&D Director Energy Systems at Birla Carbon. “Without this automated and clean solution, we would not be able to successfully market our innovative product.”

More details on the project and the technology in the detailed technical article in the trade journal cav (in German).

Powder bagging on subscription - without any investment
Packaging machine specialist Greif-Velox launches “Packaging as a Service” for the bagging of ultra-light powders With a new “Packaging as a Service” (PaaS) model, Greif-Velox Maschinenfabrik GmbH is offering an integrated service package for industrial powder bagging without any initial investment for the first time. The offer includes machine provision, financing, service, spare parts and merchandise parts as well as the supply of suitable paper bags as required - at a fixed monthly price. End-to-end solution for ultra-light powders While previous PaaS models in the packaging industry were limited to cardboard or reusable packaging solutions, GREIF-VELOX transfers the principle to complex industrial bagging systems - and goes one step further: the package not only includes consumables, but also the entire process from financing to commissioning and spare parts supply. The first application is in combination with VeloVac vacuum technology for dust-free filling of ultra-light powders.

Ultra-light powders perfectly packed with VeloVac from Greif-Velox
Messy and difficult to handle – but crucial for industry: Ultra-light powders. The solution is the vacuum pump packer from Greif-Velox. Ultra-light powders like carbon black, polyethylene fibres, color pigments and silica are a necessity for the production of manufactured goods such as lithium-ion batteries and rotor blades of wind turbines that sustainably advance future industries such as e-mobility and renewable energies. But they’re a huge pain for manufacturers – they’re messy, a potential workplace hazard and too expensive to waste. The market-leading and innovative VeloVac vacuum packers from Greif-Velox ensure dust-free, clean and safe bagging of these difficult-to-handle products. Ultra-light Powders: small size, big outcome They have particle sizes of less than 200 microns and a bulk density of less than 350 grams per liter, but they represent a major advance in the industry: ultralight powders. * Carbon Black in its various forms is an essential component of, for example, car tires, anti-corrosion coatings and lithium-ion batteries, making it a key driver of global progress in
