Blog about INNOVATIVE BAGGING AND FILLING MACHINES

Greif-Velox’s VeloVac-FIBC uses a specially designed process to fill ultra-lightweight powders, such as carbon black, in a clean, safe and compact fashion into FIBCs (”big bags”). This saves customers up to 75 percent in storage and logistics costs, plus the expense of time-consuming cleaning operations. In addition to the VeloVac-FIBC’s performance, other issues have been optimised with the aid of DfX during development, from its construction to its operation. We explain more about this in the Q&A below.

Greif-Velox A-DOS-K sets highest standards for employee and product safety when filling toxic products: Dangerous substances such as hydrofluoric acid can be filled particularly safely and efficiently into canisters with an eight-stage safety system, which fulfills all the requirements for the handling of hazardous substances.
