GREIF-VELOX CONNECT 2026: Practical Insights for the Process Industry

GREIF-VELOX is one of the most tradition-rich companies in the field of industrial bagging, filling and palletising technology. Its roots date back to the year 1100, when monks founded the Greifenmühle mill in Klützow, Pomerania – an origin from which centuries of practical expertise in handling bulk materials and efficient packaging processes have developed. Building on this experience, Ernst Mahlkuch, whose family had owned the Greifenmühle since 1734, founded GREIF-WERKE in 1938. Since then, the company has been developing and implementing high-performance bagging machines and filling systems for industrial applications. After 1945, GREIF-VELOX emerged from this foundation in Lübeck, Germany – today with more than 150 experts and a clear focus on innovative, efficient and reliable packaging solutions. GREIF-VELOX stands for customised system concepts that are precisely tailored to the product, process and production environment. These individual solutions not only increase production quality and system performance, but also create measurable competitive advantages. On request, GREIF-VELOX supplies complete full-line systems from a single source, including bagging, filling, conveying technology, robotic palletising and load securing. In addition to its customised Custom Line solutions, GREIF-VELOX offers the Essential Line: standardised, field-proven machine concepts for typical applications in bulk solids and liquid filling. The Essential Line reduces engineering effort, shortens delivery times and provides an economical entry point into proven GREIF-VELOX technology – without compromising on quality, reliability or industrial practicality.

How hygienic equipment design improves safety and efficiency in bulk solids filling Hygienic production conditions are a fundamental requirement in the food industry to ensure product safety, quality, and stable processes. Especially in the handling and filling of powdered bulk materials, product residues, dust emissions, and hard-to-clean machine areas pose significant risks. Hygienic design therefore follows a constructive approach aimed at eliminating potential sources of contamination already during the design phase of machines and systems. Hygienic design as an engineering principle Hygienic design refers to the consistent hygienic construction of machine components, surfaces, and transitions. The objective is to avoid dead spaces, horizontal surfaces, and complex geometries that are difficult to clean. Smooth, closed surfaces, radial transitions, and fully drainable components significantly reduce product adhesion and simplify cleaning procedures. In bulk solids filling applications—such as milk powder, cocoa, starch, or protein-based ingredients—this…

How can filling and bagging systems for bulk materials be operated more efficiently? This question is at the core of GREIF-VELOX CONNECT 2026, taking place on June 9, 2026, in Lübeck. The event focuses on integrated packaging solutions for bulk material Increasing efficiency in bulk material processes: a system-wide perspective In many bulk material production environments, optimization potential does not lie in individual machines, but in the interaction of processes. Typical challenges include: - Fluctuating throughput in bagging systems - Downtime and unplanned maintenance - Interface issues between filling, conveying, and palletizing - Increasing demands for flexibility and product changeovers GREIF-VELOX CONNECT demonstrates practical approaches to addressing these challenges through system-oriented filling and packaging solutions. Technology partners across the entire process chain A key element of the event is the collaboration with specialized technology companies covering different areas of modern packaging processes. Participating partners include: - Bischof+Klein – packaging solutions for industrial applications - Bizerba – weighing and inspection technology - Bluhm Systeme –…
