Automating
PACKAGING & PALETIZING

The feed producer was looking for a strong partner for its location in the north of Egypt. With the manual bagging systems, it was no longer possible to achieve an increase in capacity. The move to fully automatic packaging lines was therefore the next big step in connection with the construction of a new factory.

With this change, the average output of 600 bags per hour with the manual bagging lines was to be increased to 1100 bags per hour with the new fully automatic bagging lines. For the new bagging lines, high quality and a top design were of great importance for the feed producer. STATEC BINDER’s impressive reference list in the animal feed industry and decades of experience in handling woven PP bags, as well as intensive and competent advice and cooperation during the planning phase, were convincing factors.

Our approach: CERTOPAC as a solution

Four new bagging lines were planned, consisting of the CERTOPAC high-performance bagging machine with gravity feed net weigher and Over Tape Bag Sealer as well as the PRINCIPAL-R high-performance robot palletizer. During the planning phase, it was decided to replace a manual bagging system in the existing factory. Due to the achieved increase in performance and quality, the customer decided to replace a second manual line in the existing factory. A total of six CERTOPAC including weighing systems and bag closing systems as well as PRINCIPAL-R were delivered.

“With the CERTOPAC we were able to achieve the desired output of 1000 bags per hour for the 50 kg bags and 1100 bags per hour for the 25 kg bags. Besides, the CERTOPAC is a very robust bagging machine and has been proven for use in harsh environmental conditions. Although the bagging machines had to be adapted to the relatively large bag dimensions, this worked without any problems. The PRINCIPAL-R is ideally suited for the customer because the robot palletizer requires less space than a conventional high-level palletizer,” says Günter Haiden, Executive Manager Sales STATEC BINDER, explaining the reasons for choosing the machines. He further explains that the Over Tape Bag Sealer is ideal for a counterfeit-proof and in particular airtight closure, which was an important point for the customer.
