Mobile Bagging System for Bulk Materials: Creating Production Capacity Without Building a New Facility

Building new production capacity often involves significant investment, lengthy planning phases, and substantial infrastructure costs. Facilities must be constructed, equipment installed, and processes integrated. Especially in dynamic markets, this approach is often too slow.

With the VeloUnit Container, GREIF-VELOX offers an alternative: a mobile bagging system for bulk materials that is delivered fully pre-assembled. Instead of extensive construction projects, all that’s needed at the site is a connection to the product feed and power supply to start production in no time. The solution is ideal for companies that want to respond flexibly to rising demand, open new locations, or create temporary production capacity.

The VeloUnit Container is a turnkey container solution for bagging bulk materials. The system is based on GREIF-VELOX’s proven BVPV gross pneumatic packer and combines modern bagging technology with high mobility.

The entire system is fully assembled and tested prior to delivery. This significantly reduces the amount of on-site installation and integration work required. Companies benefit from short project timelines and a significantly faster commissioning process compared to conventional plant projects.

Many companies face the challenge of creating additional production capacity without wanting to make large investments in buildings and infrastructure. This is exactly where a mobile container solution offers significant advantages.

The VeloUnit container does not require extensive facility infrastructure and can be flexibly deployed at various locations. This allows new production capacity to be created without initiating long-term construction projects. This reduces risks, increases responsiveness to market changes, and improves capital utilization.

Typical use cases include:

• Capacity expansions for existing production facilities
• Temporary production sites
• Pilot and test facilities
• Production relocations
• Regions with limited infrastructure
• Rapid entry into new markets

At the heart of the plant is the GREIF-VELOX BVPV. The system processes a wide variety of bulk materials efficiently and precisely.

Typical products include:

• Powders
• Fine-grained products
• Granules
• Pellets
• Product blends

These materials are filled into valve bags made of paper or PE fabric. The intelligent dosing technology ensures high weighing accuracy and reduces product loss. At the same time, the gentle filling process guarantees consistently high packaging quality.

In the food, chemical, and building materials industries in particular, requirements for hygiene, product safety, and process stability are increasing.

The VeloUnit Container was therefore designed for reliable operation under demanding conditions. Stainless steel components that come into contact with the product, as well as well-designed container geometries, reduce cleaning effort and downtime.

Additional features such as:

• GMP-compliant designs
• ATEX-compliant designs
• Ventilation and air conditioning systems
• Dust recirculation and aspiration

enable the system to be adapted to individual requirements.

Not every production process requires the same level of automation. That’s why the VeloUnit is available in various models.

Manual solution
Ideal for smaller production volumes and flexible applications.

Semi-automatic solution
Automatic bag-mounting systems and conveyor technology reduce the amount of operator intervention and increase efficiency.

Fully Automatic Solution
Automatic bag feeding and robot-assisted palletizing enable largely autonomous operation with high process reliability and minimal personnel requirements.

Thanks to its modular architecture, the system can also be expanded at any time and adapted to increasing production requirements.

In addition to technical flexibility, cost-effectiveness plays a crucial role. Since there are no large-scale construction projects, long installation times, or complex integration work, overall project costs are significantly reduced.

Companies benefit from:

• Faster start of production
• Reduced installation costs
• Lower infrastructure investments
• High location flexibility
• Future-proof scalability

This often results in a significantly faster return on investment compared to traditional plant projects.

Companies that need additional production capacity don’t necessarily have to construct new buildings or undertake lengthy infrastructure projects. The VeloUnit Container enables fast, flexible, and cost-effective bagging of bulk materials directly at the desired location.

Thanks to its high degree of pre-assembly, scalable automation, and mobile container design, this solution offers a new approach for companies looking to flexibly expand their production capacity while minimizing investment risks.
