Many industries place special demands on the palletising of bagged products, from which some are highly sensitive. They require solutions that know how to handle high temperatures, unusual flow characteristics, and various bulk densities and packaging materials. These are demands that the BEUMER paletpac® high-level palletisers optimally meet in the low performance range.

Twin-belt turning device for especially gentle alignment of sensitive bagged goods

HIGH-LEVEL PALLETISER FOR SENSITIVE BAGGED GOODSBEUMER paletpac® systems stand out for their excellent stacking quality and reliability. They have multiple programmes for all common packing patterns and can be individually adapted to the various requirements of the chemical and building materials industries. The BEUMER pallet-ising systems are excellently suited for sensitive bagged goods such as plasters, screeds, granulates, and powdered or micronised chemical products.

The models in the low performance range achieve a throughput of 600 to 2,500 bags per hour. Their special design with the ventilated stacking table or special coat-ings reduces friction. State-of-the-art drive technology minimises noise and wear. Energy-saving IE2 motors, product-specific turning devices and optimal electric control ensure that the palletising process is efficient, safe, and precise.

When the market requires higher throughput, BEUMER paletpac® high-capacity palletisers are in high demand. BEUMER palletising systems make it possible to palletise particularly high quantities of more robust bagged products – gently, safely, and efficiently.

The BEUMER paletpac® systems feature exceptional stacking quality and a high level of reliability when products are stacked on pallets.

HIGH-LEVEL PALLETISER FOR ROBUST BAGGED GOODSWhether you are transporting fertiliser or cement, high-capacity palletiser from the BEUMER paletpac® series can palletise up to 5,500 bags per hour in certain bag systems, whilst providing high stacking quality and gentle bag handling. Filling plants can thus achieve an impressive daily output and process orders more quickly.

A bar turning device is used to turn the bags according to the packing pattern. This has been designed primarily for ro-bust bagged materials. The high-capacity models also stand out for their state-of-the-art drive technology, variable param-eters and a high level of user friendliness.
