Leaking packaging presents a very critical challenge, especially when it comes to food. As such, filling food powders requires particular care to ensure that no product is contaminated and that no pallets are rendered unusable. For this reason, Greif-Velox developed the optical measurement system ValvoDetect: it ensures that faulty bags can be identified and removed from the filling line at two points during the bagging process. This can prevent contamination and the costs associated with customer complaints.

Production and packaging processes face significant challenges due to decreasing warehouse capacities alongside the customization of products and product batches on an order-by-order basis. Greif-Velox is meeting these challenges head-on by developing bespoke, self-organizing packaging systems that optimize processes through intelligent networking. These systems offer clear, measurable advantages for planning, production, logistics and maintenance.

With the Greif-Velox BVPV 4.40 gross weight pneumatic packer and its innovative features, GoodMills Deutschland has managed to double its bagging performance at its Mannheim site in Germany.
