FACHPACK - European trade fair for packaging, technology and processing FACHPACK is one of the main events in Europe for companies that produce and use packaging. It has been held in Nuremberg for over 40 years. The packaging fair provides a compact but comprehensive insight into all relevant topics from the packaging industry. This includes solutions for product packaging for industrial and consumer goods, packaging aids and packaging materials, but also for packaging production, packaging technology, logistics and packaging systems or printing.

Welcome to the trade fairs in 2024 We, the SSB Wägetechnik team, look forward to welcoming you in person. We proudly present our latest products, pioneering technologies and innovative solutions.

For a major customer in the petrochemical industry in the USA, we manufactured two pellet launchers for the best possible filling of plastic pellets into containers. For a major petrochemical customer from South Carolina in the USA, we have manufactured two belt throwers (GWS 2000) for the best possible and most effective filling of plastic pellets into containers. Special guidelines and standards apply in many places in the USA. SSB Wägetechnik has acquired machine certifications in accordance with UL standards in order to be able to serve customers in the USA. Careful preparation and compliance with all relevant regulations, including during transport, are a matter of course for SSB and our many years of experience help to ensure that machines are shipped internationally. In about 2 months, the next belt throwers will go to another customer in North Carolina/ USA.

SSB Wägetechnik has expanded its sales structure for the USA and acquired machine certifications in accordance with the UL standard. The USA offers enormous economic potential and a wide range of industries in which machines and devices are used. In order to gain a foothold in this demanding market, careful planning and compliance with the relevant regulations are of the utmost importance. UL (Underwriters Laboratories) certification is of great importance in the USA, particularly in the mechanical engineering and electronics sectors. UL is an independent organisation that tests and certifies products for safety and compliance with US regulations. In order to sell machines and devices in the USA, they must pass UL certification. Expanding the sales structure and obtaining UL certifications are interrelated challenges and therefore important steps to gain customer confidence in the safety of your products and facilitate market access.

Our company was founded exactly 32 years ago today, on 22 November 1991 Since then, we have experienced an impressive journey through challenges and successes. What began with control technology has become an important player in the bulk solids industry and the market leader in solutions for silo logistics, bagging and packaging technology over the last three decades. We have successfully realised numerous highly innovative research projects. Today, our customers include big player#s such as Lanxess, Evonik, BASF, Lyondellbasell, Sabic and Borealis, who place their trust in us and work with us again and again on new projects. We are proud of the fact that we are not only successful in Germany, but have also been recognised on an international level. We are determined to continue to drive our innovations and pursue our mission with our customers and partners with the same passion that inspired us 32 years ago.

We set up and simulated a test with our granulate thrower in our halls for a customer from the USA. In the USA there are other vehicle lengths and container dimensions to consider. Extra-long freight containers in 53-foot dimensions are widespread in the USA and Canada and offer considerably more space than the 20, 30, 40-foot sea containers standardised in Germany, which can also be filled here without any problems and are suitable for European terminals and transhipment stations. We set up and simulated a test with our granulate thrower in our halls for a customer from the USA. The 53′ container posed a challenge.The aim is to fill a 53′ container evenly with granulate. The inliner has a total length of 16.2 metres and is to be inflated and then filled very quickly by our GWS 2000 granulate thrower. However, the known throwing distances are below the new targets. The tests in our company are to determine how realistically the new requirements can be implemented. On our website and the link you can find more information about our machine: GWS2000 pellet thrower
