Efficient Food Bagging – BVP Pneumatic Packer Full-Line

GREIF-VELOX is one of the oldest companies in the world with 1,000 years of company history: In the year 1,100, monks founded the Greifenmühle in Klützow in Pomerania, laying the foundations for many centuries of practical experience in efficient bagging, filling and palletizing. Ernst Mahlkuch, whose family had owned the Greifenmühle since 1734, used this experience to found GREIF-WERKE in 1938, which has been designing and producing innovative bagging machines and filling systems ever since. After 1945, GREIF-VELOX grew out of this foundation in Lübeck, Germany, with over 150 experts, who cultivate the tradition of over 1,000 years of innovation culture every day and thus constantly set new benchmarks in the industry. Customers do not need standard solutions off the shelf, but individual concepts and developments. As a rule, this individuality not only increases production quality and quantity, but also leads to strong competitive advantages that quickly pay for themselves. On request, GREIF-VELOX can supply complete full-line systems including robot palletizing and load securing from a single source to further enhance these advantages for the customer.

According to a recent study by Deutsche Messe Technology Academy and Moxa, unplanned downtime is one of the biggest challenges facing industry. Downtime as a major cost factor in industry A recent study by the Deutsche Messe Technology Academy in cooperation with automation specialist Moxa provides insights into the reality of industrial production in Germany: 94 percent of the companies surveyed report at least one unplanned shutdown per month, with an average downtime of 3.3 hours. The effects are serious: according to the study, even one hour of production downtime can cause costs in the millions—especially in highly automated processes. The economic consequences range from missed delivery dates and increased personnel deployment to damage to the company’s reputation among customers. The study cites the following causes of unplanned downtime as particularly common: Main causes of production downtime * Failure of machine components or IT systems * Lack of transparency regarding the condition of the equipment * Difficulties and delays in procuring spare parts The consequences are well known: inefficiency,

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
