SyMAS 2014: BEUMER to showcase innovative and sustainable handling solutions for bulk material and powders

At SyMAS 2014, the international trade fair for the processing, storage

and transportation of bulk material and powders (October 29 - 30 in

Krakow/Poland), BEUMER Group, a turnkey solutions provider, will be

presenting its filling, palletising, and packaging technologies. They will

also feature conveying and warehouse management system solutions, all

backed by BEUMER''s comprehensive customer support team.

BEUMER Group designs, constructs and installs conveying systems as well as

filling, palletising and packaging systems that are tailored in detail to

the specific requirements of the customer. Belt conveyors are a

cost-effective and sustainable solution. They are able to negotiate curves

and are designed either as open troughed belt conveyors or as closed Pipe

Conveyors. Belt conveyors can be adapted optimally to the environment due

to their ability to negotiate long distances and large differences in

height. By overlapping narrow horizontal and vertical curves, belt

conveyors fit seamlessly within existing terrain.

BEUMER Group''s strength lies in its efficient combination of individual

installations and systems with intelligent automation. As a systems

supplier, the company provides filling, palletising and packaging

technology from one single source. This includes the new BEUMER fillpac

filling system, which can be flexibly integrated with existing packaging

lines. Equipped with calibration-capable weighing equipment, the weighing

electronics ensure that the BEUMER fillpac always achieves precise degrees

of filling. Special software supports permanent communication between the

weighing unit and the filling spout. Users can thus optimise their

packaging lines because there is no longer any need to remove bags with an

incorrect weight from the process.

To be able to stack paper, PE and PP bags on pallets of different sizes in

a flexible, precise, stable and even more efficient way, the

intralogistics supplier offers the BEUMER paletpac high capacity layer

palletiser, which has recently been completely revised for more

efficiency. The user benefits from improved accessibility, shorter

assembly period, higher flexibility and, as a result, lower costs. The

palletiser can be equipped with a twin-belt turning device, so that the

bagged bulk material can be stacked on pallets in a gentle, fast and

precise way. If required, BEUMER Customer support can simply upgrade the

systems with this solution.

A new machine from the BEUMER stretch hood model range will efficiently

package the palletised stacks. The high capacity packaging system was

given a complete redesign. Various components have been analysed and

optimised by our experts during its development. Feature enhancements

include an improved menu system on the machine control via a soft-touch

panel, an optimised, ergonomically designed workplace for the operator,

and material-friendly transporting of the film in the machine thanks to an

innovative film transport system. The result is guaranteed higher system

output and improved machine availability for the operator.

BEUMER has developed a Warehouse Management System (WMS) that fulfils key

requirements for bulk materials, such as the storage of sensitive

materials, batch tracking as well as space-saving and cost-effective

warehouse management. The WMS has an interface to all of the current ERP

systems. The management of the warehouse, material flow system and process

control of the individual machines are integrated into the WMS. This

offers the user a comprehensive overview of both production and warehouse

operations, providing the possibility to optimally adapt both to current

requirements. At the trade fair, visitors will also learn everything about

BEUMER''s comprehensive customer support.
