The VeloVac FIBC uses a specially designed vacuum process to fill ultra-lightweight powders, such as carbon black and fumed silica, in a clean, safe manner into FIBCs, also known as “big bags.” The bagging takes place in a sealed chamber, which means a dust-free, contamination-free process that is highly efficient and results in zero product loss. It also results in highly condensed, solid bags that can be immediately transported, ultimately saving time and money.

The ValvoDetect optical measurement system from packaging machine manufacturer Greif-Velox is the solution to a long-time issue in the filling of powders in the chemicals and food industries. This innovative technology prevents entire pallets from becoming contaminated by individual bag leaks, which were previously responsible for high product recall costs. Greif-Velox is the first manufacturer to offer this type of optical measurement system.

The German company Greif-Velox Maschinenfabrik sets the standard for packaging machines across the globe and is on the way to becoming the sector’s leader in technology. Right now, Greif-Velox Maschinenfabrik GmbH has more than 150 specialists working in 89 countries around the world. In 2020, it launched a North American subsidiary in Sacramento, California.
