African flour producers opt for high-capacity filling of PP valve bags

Behn+Bates, Münster, Germany, a member of the Haver & Boecker Group specializing exclusively in design and manufacture of bagging systems for food and pet food industries, recently won two separate orders

to supply high-capacity ROTOSEAL rotary bagging systemsto major flour producers in Egypt andTanzania. Both customers required

hourly outputs of 1200-1700 bags,  with bag weights of 25 and 50kg, and for the first time they will use woven PP valve bags in preference to woven PP open-mouth bags for handling this commodity. The ROTOSEAL system, which can be equipped with 3-10 filling spouts depending on required output, is mounted on a rotating machine

frame and for higher capacities occupies less space than conventional inline packing plants. The system destined for Tanzania will be equipped for manual operation, whilst the Egyptian customer has chosen the fully automatic version with RADIMAT bag applicator. http://www.behnbates.com/
