New automatic pail filling maching for powder products
Again, the Haver Group's engineers have succeeded in combining two technologies into one system. Feige system components for automatic pail handling were successfully assembled with a Haver & Boecker 2-socket impeller packer into one automatic machine.
Pail sizes ranging from 5l to 20l can be filled with powder products fully automatically and with calibrated accuracy at a speed of 500 to 600 pails/h that is otherwise common for liquids.
The first order for this kind of technology was placed by a renowned German construction chemistry company. Both Feige Filling and Haver & Boecker are looking back on many years of good business relations with this customer. As it is implemented for the customer as a project from one source and for the supplier as a project within the group, this undertaking offers enormous advantages for both business partners.
Technically speaking, this automatic system consists of a pail denester with feed belt for feeding the pail pile close to the floor directly from the pallet. Using a special cycle sequence, the containers are positioned with millimetric accuracy via an indexing conveyor at the work stations filling, check weighing, membrane sealing, lid placing and lid pressing. The pails are then filled, sealed and subsequently labelled and palletised in automatic mode.
For this project, the 2-socket-impeller packer developed by Haver & Boecker was modified such that at the position where the filling unit is normally located it was possible to harmoniously integrate the Feige automatic pail filling maching. Empty containers are raised and pressed against the Haver impeller packer in a dust-tight manner. An integrated vibrating device gently compacts the product. During the following work steps, the pails are sealed with a film and then closed with a lid.
The concept offers a modular structure, allowing the subsequent customer request for film sealing certain products to be implemented. The automatic machine can also be equipped with other packers so that various powder products available on the market can be packed automatically, safely and with calibrated accuracy into plastic or metal pails. There are hardly any limits to the areas of application in the chemical and construction industry or even in food processing.
In 2007, the first symbiosis between Haver & Boecker and its subsidiary Feige was already successfully launched on the market with the development of LIFFS (Liquid In Form Fill Seal).
For the purpose of filling plastic bags with liquids, the filling unit and the product flow control running on the Feige weigh scales had been successfully integrated into the Haver FFS technology.
The co-operation potentials in solids and liquids filling demonstrate that the Haver & Boecker Technology Group has more and more developed into a turnkey provider, covering the entire range for filling solids and liquids into bags, pails, cans, tins, barrels or IBC.
