Beumer Group has introduced a sustainable form-fill-seal (FFS) system for chemical products offering high throughput, availability and a compact design.
The SealPac system ensures reproducible weight accuracy of the bags, and operators can handle the energy efficient system ergonomically.
Chemical and petrochemical products are partly characterised by high product temperatures, may be dimensionally unstable and have special flow characteristics. If these materials are filled into bags, their handling can be difficult. The SealPac forms a bag from a prefabricated tubular PE film and fills it with technical plastic materials such as PE, PP, PA or PS. Salts, building materials, fertilisers or food products can also be filled into bags reliably, gently and sustainably. The system has a weighing unit which ensures the quantity of material filled is not too high, thus avoiding high costs for the manufacturer. On the other hand, the bags need not contain too little material since the specified quantity has to correspond with the actual contents. As a result, operators can always obtain exact filling weights with the system, which seals the bags with a weight of up to 25kg. This way users can handle up to 2600 bags per hour.
Less wear and tear, more clarity
In typical systems available in the market, the bags oscillate from one working post to the next. The resulting vibrations are transferred to the systems and may lead to wear and tear even after a short period of time. The SealPac guides the bags in a straight movement to the individual working stations; the machine runs much more smoothly; and there are nearly no vibrations.
Its individual working posts for forming, filling and closing are of modular design, making work easier for the service personnel who check each unit separately and replace it as required.
The SealPac's symmetrical structure enables the operator to freely decide from which side the system is operated. Its compact design also allows a space-saving and flexible installation.
It uses proven components which have been consistently enhanced and are available on the market.
Cost savings
In the chemical industry, systems are often running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Any standstill may result in considerable costs. The SealPac has a robust design, which extends maintenance intervals. Its modular structure enables easy cleaning and operators can quickly retrofit the system.
The construction series is equipped with an ergonomic control terminal (HMI, or Human Machine Interface) including an optimised user interface and navigation. This enables personnel to operate the system quickly and easily. Users at the system are provided with an easily understandable and intuitive interaction concept, enabling them to define efficient working sequences.
