Efficient bagging with the BVP from Greif-Velox

Efficient filling of micronized waxes at Reagens

When processing fine-grained, sticky products such as micronized waxes, short changeover times and easy cleaning are key requirements.
Frequent product changes mean that long downtimes have a direct impact on productivity. Together with Reagens Deutschland GmbH, GREIF-VELOX was able to address this challenge in a targeted manner – with the use of the BVP air packer including a residual emptying function.

Challenge: Cleaning effort for highly adhesive products

At the Reagens site in Loxstedt, manual systems were previously used, which regularly left up to one kilogram of product in the hopper. These residues led to extended cleaning times, especially with viscous, slow-flowing substances – a clear bottleneck in the process.

Solution: optimized hopper outlet and air flushing system
With the BVP gross pneumatic packer from GREIF-VELOX, Reagens was able to significantly simplify cleaning after each filling process. The specially shaped vessel outlet in combination with an air purge system ensures that less than 12 grams of product remain in the vessel. The result: cleaning time was reduced from 30 to 5 minutes.

Measurable benefits for the customer

  • In addition to residual emptying, the BVP offers further advantages:
  • Storage of product-specific parameters for quick changeovers
  • Good accessibility for visual and maintenance checks
  • Suitability for wet cleaning
  • Compact design for seamless integration into existing rooms

“We couldn’t believe our eyes – despite the highly adhesive products, the air packer was emptied clean,” reports Heiko Sievern, Technical Manager at Reagens Deutschland GmbH. For Reagens, the reduced cleaning time is a decisive advantage in daily operations with multiple product changes.

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.

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. An expansion to other machine types such as the A-DOS-P1 and the BVP gross pneumatic packer
