Despite the availability of highly sophisticated silo logistics, bags continue playing an important role in the distribution of bulk goods. It is for this reason that engineering company Windmöller & Hölscher (W&H) is presenting at this year"s ACHEMA with TOPAS and OPAL two different Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) packaging systems.
With more than 400 machines sold, TOPAS is the uncontested No. 1 in the field of FFS packaging systems in the free-flowing goods sector. Because of its large size range for filling volumes from 5 kg to 50 kg, and as a result of a multitude of product oriented engineering solutions, it has successfully proved its functionality in the most various bagging situations. The intriguing output capacity of up to 2,250 bags per hour (when bagging PE resin) as well as high effective up-time, low maintenance requirements and reduced film usage as a result of extremely small seal overhangs testify to the machine"s commercial efficiency and productivity.
OPAL is the specialty machine for the bagging of heavily fluidized products and products which tend to stick, bridge or clog as well as fine and dusty products. These products needing controlled bagging with minimum entrapped air, the OPAL with its auger metering system in conjunction with under-level product feeding is the ideal piece of equipment for the said applications. After weighing, air evacuation elements ensure effective compacting of the fluidized products.
