How STATEC BINDER supported a Polish sugar producer in the shift to fully automatic palletizing

The fully automatic PRINCIPAL-R palletizing system from STATEC BINDER was implemented at one of the ten largest sugar beet farmers in Poland.

In the following text, you will learn details about the project and gain insight into the cooperation with our Polish representative Agencia Techniczna HANZA Sp. J.

Initial Situation

Our customer is one of the ten largest sugar beet growers in Europe. More than 5 million tons of sugar beet are processed in around five provinces, grown on over 100,000 hectares and supplied by more than 16,000 farmers. Until recently, palletizing of the filled 25kg and 50kg bags was done manually: the filled bags were taken off the conveyor and palletized at three manual palletizing stations.

Since the sugar producer will deploy its employees in other areas in the future, the decision to purchase a fully automatic palletizer was made. Above all, the technical expertise, the consulting services and the willingness to develop special solutions were crucial for the customer in deciding to work with STATEC BINDER.

Due to the high flexibility of the PRINCIPAL-R, it was a clear choice for the Polish sugar producer. The different layer patterns make it possible to always arrange the various 25kg and 50kg bags into a well-shaped full pallet. Additionally, the PRINCIPAL-R convinced due to its compact design and the associated low space requirements. The performance of 850 bags per hour is optimally adjusted to the output of the packaging machine.

“As the changeover to fully automatic packaging and palletizing systems progresses, it is becoming increasingly important for customers to find a competent and reliable partner. We therefore see it as our task to support customers in the changeover to fully automatic packaging lines and to provide them with the best possible advice and support. The cooperation with our Polish representative and the customer was excellent, which of course made an important contribution to the success of this project,” says Przemysław Małecki about the project.
