GREIF-VELOX filling systems for starch are specially designed to meet the demanding requirements of the food industry. Our systems guarantee maximum process reliability and hygiene, combined with maximum productivity and flexibility.

From high-volume production lines to flexible configurations for smaller batches - our systems adapt perfectly to your production environment.

The right system for bagging starch

Starch is a fine powder with good fluidization properties and a medium bulk density—characteristics that make the pneumatic air packer the ideal technology for this application. The BVP/BVPV conveys the product into the valve bag via an air stream, thereby precisely controlling the flow behavior that makes starch difficult to bag. For food applications, the system can be manufactured in a hygienic design—for example, in stainless steel—to meet food safety and cleanability requirements.

The BVP features precise gross weighing and clean, low-dust bag filling. The BVPV, as a high-performance variant, is designed for higher throughput and varying bag sizes and can be quickly reconfigured during product changes—making it suitable for facilities that process different starch grades or container sizes on a single line. When combined with ValvoCare components such as ValvoSeal and ValvoDetect, bag rejection can be further reduced and the sealing process reliably monitored.

Gross pneumatic packer BVP/BVPV

The BVP/BVPV pneumatic packers are specially designed for the requirements of starch bagging and offer maximum efficiency and flexibility. With their robust pneumatic technology, they guarantee accurate filling and constant output - even with high throughput requirements. These systems are perfect for use in the food industry, where precision and process reliability are top priorities.

Thanks to their high changeover capability, the BVP/BVPV packers can be quickly adapted to different bag sizes and packaging requirements. They are ideal for production lines that require high flexibility with changing batches, while offering an impressive output of up to 400 bags per hour. The optimised control system ensures that every filling is efficient and precise.

Systems for maximum precision, cleanliness and automation

ValvoMat - precision and automation in bag filling

The ValvoMat is a state-of-the-art extension for our gross pneumatic and vacuum packers. It has been specially developed for automatic bag opening and positioning. The ValvoMat automates the entire filling process by positioning the bags precisely at the filling spouts and sealing them reliably. This reduces manual labour and significantly increases productivity.

The combination of precise bag positioning and automatic closing makes the ValvoMat the ideal addition to production lines that require maximum accuracy and cleanliness with minimum downtime.

SafeDyVac - safety and cleanliness through dust control

The SafeDyVac system was developed to significantly reduce dust emissions during filling while ensuring a clean working environment. It works with an application-specific extraction system that ensures both employee safety and product cleanliness.

This system is particularly valuable in starch bagging, as it counteracts the typical dust problems associated with powdered products.

Bagging system for GoodMills Germany

At the food producer GoodMills Germany, we were able to significantly increase packaging efficiency by 100 percent thanks to our systems. We also maximized the accuracy of the filling processes, doubling production output to up to 400 bags per hour, while at the same time minimizing cleaning effort and changeover times by using our gross pneumatic packer BVPV 4.40.
