Haver & Boecker, Oelde, Germany, has completely revamped its ELEMENTRA® EGF bulk bag filler. The result is a maintenance-free system that has a new drive technology for clean filling with precise weight accuracy. Its modular design offers a high degree of flexibility. The carefully thought-out modular principle allows different dosing units and easy integration with existing production and packing lines. The machine can be expanded and equipped with different components. The following options can be added:

 

• Filling spouts that can be swivelled

• Different dosing units

• Inflatable sleeves

• Hooks: rigid, rotatable or replaceable, instead of a carrying arm

• Movable filling head or conveyor unit

• Vibration base

• Conveying system.

 

The greatest technical innovation for improving safety and preventing machine stoppages is the double-belt drive, which moreover fulfils explosion protection requirements. Because of its special plastic material, it is suited for use in the food industry and in dusty environments. The belt-drive system replaces the previous maintenance-intensive chain drive. The heart of the ELEMENTRA is the standard MEC 4.0 weigher electronics that control the weigher and networks for all individual modules for precise weigh-filling. To provide optimum, intuitive operation the system is equipped with a large touchscreen panel for displaying all functions and diagnostics with just a touch of the finger. The system can be equipped with the HAVERquattro monitoring system for constant online transmission of performance data. www.haverboecker.com
