Palletising solutions for various packaged products

Beumer Group, a sin­gle-source provider for fill­ing, pal­letis­ing and pack­ag­ing tech­nolo­gies, devel­ops com­plete pack­ag­ing lines with per­fect­ly com­pat­i­ble com­po­nents. The right pal­letis­ing tech­nol­o­gy is key to achiev­ing opti­mal­ly pack­aged load units and for the secure trans­porta­tion of bags, buck­ets, pack­ages or can­is­ters. As a sys­tem sup­pli­er, the Group cus­tomis­es these sys­tems, both the Beumer palet­pac and the Beumer robot­pac, to match the indi­vid­ual cus­tomer’s needs and takes prod­uct char­ac­ter­is­tics, pack­ing pat­terns and pal­let sizes into con­sid­er­a­tion. Both sys­tems han­dle the items with care and stack them in an opti­mal pattern.

Secure and neat stacks of bulk material

Prod­ucts for the (petro)chemical indus­tries are stored in spe­cial bags, bar­rels, can­is­ters, car­tons or buck­ets. The com­pa­ny offers dif­fer­ent solu­tions, depend­ing on the pack­aged items. The palet­pac is suit­ed best for bulk mate­r­i­al. This con­struc­tion series stacks the bags, that might have been filled by a fill­pac FFS, in a sta­ble and pre­cise way on the pal­lets. The bags are made out of paper, poly­eth­yl­ene or polypropy­lene and are avail­able in two dif­fer­ent designs: flat valve and valve bot­tom bags.
The high-capac­i­ty machine pal­letis­es bags up to a pack height of 2,400 mil­lime­tres, in every tech­ni­cal­ly pos­si­ble pack­ing pat­terns and on any com­mon­ly used pal­let size — includ­ing inter­me­di­ate sizes such as 1,400 x 1,200 mil­lime­tres. A mul­ti-pro­gram inter­face enables the user to set para­me­ters eas­i­ly and quick­ly. The machines of this con­struc­tion series can pal­letise up to 2,500 bags per hour, the high-capac­i­ty ver­sion up to 5,500 per hour.

A good position

The palet­pac can be pro­vid­ed with a bar-type, clamp-type or twin-belt turn­ing device to posi­tion the filled bags quick­ly, ensur­ing their dimen­sion­al sta­bil­i­ty. The lat­ter offers a great advan­tage com­pared to con­ven­tion­al turn­ing machines, because the sys­tem’s com­po­nents move the bags with­out mechan­i­cal­ly deform­ing them: “Two par­al­lel dri­ven belt con­vey­ors move at dif­fer­ent speeds and turn the bags quick­ly into the desired posi­tion,” explains Baumeis­ter. The intel­li­gent con­trol of the twin-belt turn­ing device also takes the dimen­sion and weight of the filled bag into con­sid­er­a­tion. Exact posi­tion­ing, spec­i­fied by the pre­set pack­ing pat­tern, is achieved. No adjust­ment is nec­es­sary even with a prod­uct change. Cre­at­ing pre­cise pat­terns dur­ing the lay­er and stack for­ma­tion result in sta­ble bag stacks. Mul­ti­ple pal­let loads cre­at­ed with the palet­pac can even be stacked one on top of the oth­er to save stor­age space.
