26.08.2013 Video demonstrates twin-belt bag turning device

In order to ensure careful palletising of bags filled with building materials, the leading German construction firm Schwenk Putztechnik  is employing the newly developed Beumer twin-belt turning device (reported in Industry News for the week of 13 May). During layer forming, the bags are placed in the correct position with special care, ensuring their dimensional stability. The result is a stable stack with a perfect configuration. Schwenk is showing the mode of operation of this innovative system in a video film on its website: www.schwenk-putztechnik.de/Service/Mediathek/index.php. 

The bags are turned into the correct position according to a predetermined packing pattern by their net weight and with the help of two belt conveyors, which are arranged in parallel and driven separately. Markus Martin is plant manager of the two Schwenk factories at Eigeltingen and Allmendingen where the Beumer turning devices have been installed. In the video he explains: “We particularly benefit from lower maintenance and operating costs. Moreover, we do not have to adapt the system when handling different products, which considerably increases productivity.” Thanks to its modular design, the twin-belt turning device could be easily integrated into the existing system in no more than 10 days. www.beumergroup.com
