Optimizing packaging efficiency with flexible automation for existing lines
Companies seeking to automate their packaging processes often face the challenge of integrating automated palletizing and load securing technology into existing systems. Specialist packaging machinery manufact, Greif-Velox offers customized solutions, permtting the integration of state-of-the-art palletizing robots and load securing elements into existing packaging lines—regardless of whether the original filling or bagging system was supplied by Greif-Velox.
By utilizing the VeloPack robotic palletizer, the VeloFlexLabeler for robotic labelling, and automated load securing systems, Greif-Velox says that it can enhance packaging efficiency with its solutions, to help minimize manual intervention and downtime, improve workplace safety, and ensure optimized process flow. Thanks to their modular design, their systems can be easily integrated into existing packaging lines, thereby optimizing the handling of various packaging types—including bags, drums, canisters, hobbocks, cartons and roll goods.
Greif-Velox solutions include:
- VeloPack Palletizing Robot: Offers highly precise, fully automated palletizing and depalletizing solutions with configurable gripping tools for diverse products and handling tasks.
- Top Sheet Handling: The automatic pallet coverage secures loads and helps minimize manual labor.
- Bag Equalization: Various available technologies (e.g. roller belts, vibration plates, press stations and compaction sections) ensure the optimum stackability of bags.
- Stretch Wrapping Systems: Automated stretch wrapping systems reduce material usage and ensure secure pallet loads and are capable of handling up to 80 pallets per hour.
- Edge and Corner Protection Systems: The integration of automated protective materials prevents packaging damage and enhances overall load stability.
- Conveying Technology: Roller and chain conveyors, corner transfer units, turntables, and pallet lifts facilitate a fully automated material flow for pallets or drums.
- Robotic Labelling: The VeloFlexLabeler enables flexible, automated labeling of pallets, bags, cartons, and drums—with both static and variable labels (e.g., batch numbers, barcodes, hazardous material markings). It seamlessly integrates into existing production and packaging lines, replacing manual labelling steps.
Thanks to a strategic partnership with KUKA, one of the world’s leading robotics manufacturers, Greif-Velox leverages cutting-edge robotics and automation technologies to make packaging processes more efficient, safer, and sustainable.
