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 is planned.
Flexibility, predictability and process reliability
“Many companies today are looking for ways to make costs more flexible, avoid investments and at the same time ensure their system availability. This is exactly where our PaaS model comes in: It converts high initial investments into predictable monthly expenditure - and also takes the pressure off our customers when it comes to maintenance, spare parts and consumables. In this way, we create more scope for the essentials: their core business.” Sebastian Pohl, Managing Director of GREIF-VELOX
Integrated model
With “Packaging as a Service”, Greif-Velox offers an integrated model to minimize investment risks and reliably safeguard operational processes. Customers benefit from a clearly calculable cost structure in which all relevant services are bundled at a fixed monthly price. This eliminates the need for high initial investments (CAPEX), while at the same time increasing machine availability and tapping into additional savings potential. This frees up internal resources and allows companies to concentrate fully on their core business - while GREIF-VELOX guarantees the technical implementation and security of supply during ongoing operations. At the end of the contract term, there is also the option of taking over the machine in use.
Technological advantages and more efficiency
In addition to the financial benefits, customers benefit from the VeloVac vacuum technology, with which the Lübeck-based company is the global market leader: thanks to the high degree of compaction, vacuum bagging ensures, among other things, up to 75% lower storage costs and up to 2.5 times faster filling times compared to conventional machine solutions. With digital integration, customers can rely on better production planning and increased overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
The digital remote service (VeloXpert) ensures fast support via a secure data connection. In addition, a consigned spare parts warehouse with automated replenishment ensures a stable supply and high system availability.
Thanks to the close cooperation with dy-pack Verpackungen
Gustav Dyckerhoff GmbH, GREIF-VELOX supplies SAFEDyVac bags that are precisely matched to the machine - for maximum tightness, product protection and reduced material consumption (up to 40 percent).
Maximum security of supply
With the PaaS model for bagging ultra-light powders, GREIF-VELOX offers a sound and future-proof answer to the challenges of the industry - reducing investment costs, full cost control, security of supply and technological advantage are combined in an integrated model. Thanks to the modular structure and the strong partners Siemens Financial Services and dy-pack Verpackungen Gustav Dyckerhoff GmbH, customers can concentrate fully on their core business.
