STATEC BINDER GMBH - highly efficient bagging and palletizing solutions

The semi-automatic Big Bag Filling Station enables the filling of Big Bags (FIBC) with one, two or four loops and Octabins with a filling weight from 500 kg to 1500 kg. With 150 Big Bags per hour, our Big Bag Filling Station is one of the fastest in the world. Additionally, the extremely stable construction and the high reliability characterize the Big Bag Filling Station. There are two versions of the Big Bag Filling Station – one with gross and one with net weighing. The difference between the two weighing variants is that gross weighing weighs the product in the bag during filling and net weighing weighs it in a weigh hopper before filling. The advantage of net weighing is that the big bags can be filled at higher speeds. Highest weighing accuracy is achieved with both variants.

The ACROPAC is a fully automatic bagging machine with a production capacity of up to 600 bags per hour. Hence, this open-mouth bagging machine is ideal for those who want to change from manual/semi-automatic packaging to fully automatic packaging and/or require low capacity. Whether plastic pellets, animal feed, fertilizer or food, the ACROPAC is ideal for packaging free-flowing bulk materials. Due to the high flexibility of the machines, pillow bags and gusset bags with a filling weight between 10 kg and 50 kg can be filled. The bags can be made of woven PP, PE or paper. In order to meet special requirements, the machine is also available in a stainless steel execution and can be equipped for powdery products.

The SYSTEM-T fully automatic Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) packaging machine combines high quality packaging from a PE tube with high production capacity and is therefore ideal to be used in a wide range of industries including petrochemicals, fertilizers, animal feed, food,... Due to the high flexibility of the FFS packaging machine it can be adapted to different customer requirements. For example, pillow bags and gusset bags can be produced with or without carrying handle and a filling weight between 5kg and 50kg. Additional perforation of the bags is also possible. The SYSTEM-T stands out due to its modern design and a very sturdy and compact construction. Accessibility, generous clearance, long maintenance intervals and low maintenance costs were of major importance in the development of this machine. For example, the large doors offer easy access to all areas and important parts and cable connections are protected from corrosive and aggressive dust by stainless steel housings.

The SYSTEM-F, a fully automatic vertical form-fill-seal packaging machine, produces pillow bags and gusset bags with or without carrying handle and a filling weight between 5 kg and 50 kg from flat film. The System-F is particularly ideal for packaging powdery and moderately free-flowing products. Thanks to an adjustable format set, different package sizes can be produced. The format and/or production can be changed by one person in just a few minutes. This is made possible by a rotating magazine, which is installed directly on the machine and holds several format sets of different sizes ready at all times. The vertical FFS packaging machine impresses with its compact design and low space requirement. Further options allow this bagging machine to be adapted to a wide range of requirements.

The Twin Version of the open-mouth bagging machine combines two bag placers and two filling stations in one machine. Two STATEC BINDER high-performance net weighers ensure that the product is precisely dosed and weighed. When the required weight is reached, the weigh hopper opens and the product flows into the attached bag at the filling spout. A high-performance bag closing machine enables fast sewing, sealing, or gluing of the bags. The high performance of the Twin Version is achieved by always separating two bags simultaneously, transporting them to the pick-up station, fixing them onto the filling spout, filling them, and placing them on the conveyor belt. The bags are then transported one after the other to the bag closing machine. For example, the PRINCIPAC-Twin can handle up to 2400 bags per hour with a filling weight between 10 kg and 50 kg.

The PRINCIPAL-P, a high-performance portal palletizer, combines the high speed of the PRINCIPAL-H with a gripper adapted to the respective application, e.g. combined grippers for palletizing bags and boxes. The great advantage of the PRINCIPAL-P is that it does not push bags, but lays them down and can therefore palletize them overlapping. Furthermore, the bags are pressed from all four sides to obtain a well-structured layer pattern. Boxes are also lifted, laid and afterwards the layer is formed. When arranging the bags or boxes, it is ensured that the bags or boxes are brought into the required position, e.g. barcodes can be read from the outside. In addition, a robot can be installed for possible depalletizing work. Further options enable the PRINCIPAL-P to be optimally adapted to customer requirements.

The patented bag closing system “Over Tape Bag Sealer” from STATEC BINDER seals woven polypropylene (PP) bags airtight. A woven PP tape is used for a reliable and secure closure. If necessary, the bags can also be sewn. Both pillow bags and gusset bags can be securely closed. This sealing technology facilitates the handling of dusty and odour-intensive products of the food and feed industry. During operation, the filled bags are transported to and from the bag closing system via a conveyor belt. A sensor detects the position of the bag and automatically puts it into the trimming area. After cutting the top edge of the bag a woven PP tape is applied over the open edge of the bag to seal it with hot air. The hot air to seal the bag airtight and odourless is produced by a heating unit in the machine.

As the name suggests, the FFS-Combi Version of the open-mouth bagging machines has an additional FFS module, allowing bags not only to be used from the bag magazine but also to be produced from tubular film. The CERTOPAC and PRINCIPAC open-mouth bagging machines are available as FFS-Combi Versions. The additional FFS module is also available for the CIRCUPAC bagging carousel. The changeover from the bag magazine to the production of bags from the tubular film is simple and convenient on the operating panel. The filling process is identical for both variants. The bags are either separated from the bag magazine or produced from tubular film and conveyed to the pick-up station. There the bag is put onto the filling spout, filled, and placed on the conveyor belt. From there it is transported to the bag closing machine, which sews, seals, or glues the bag depending on the material.

Currently there are three net weighers in our product portfolio. The differences are in the product feeding. Our weighers are equipped with gravity, belt or screw feeders depending on which product has to be weighed. The choice of product feeding depends primarily on how well the product is free flowing. Moderately flowing as well as powdery and fine products are rather weighed with belt or screw feeding, while free-flowing bulk goods are usually weighed with gravity feeding. The high quality standard of STATEC BINDER is also achieved here through the use of stainless steel and a sturdy and compact design. The use of stainless steel guarantees longevity and high operational reliability even under demanding conditions.

The high-performance bagging carousel CIRCUPAC has been specially developed for the packaging of flour and powdery products in pillow bags and gusset bags with a filling weight of 10 kg to 50 kg. The CIRCUPAC is ideal for filling prefabricated open mouth bags made of woven PP, PE or paper. The special feature of the packaging machine is the continuously rotating carousel: All components are precisely matched to each other, so that the entire process is carried out without a start-stop system. A maximum output of up to 1200 bags per hour can be achieved. All movements are controlled by an intelligent master servo motor controller and are precisely coordinated with each other. An extended filling time by six filling stations as well as the constant compression of the product by special vibration plates result in a well-filled bag.
