MATERIAL FLOW The reasons which brought Schwenk Putztechnik GmbH & Co. KG, Ulm/Germany, to opt for the Beumer Group GmbH & Co. KG palletizing technology were longer maintenance intervals, more efficient production and an optimized stack configuration with regard to storage and sales. The single-source provider from Beckum/Germany supplied three high-capacity layer palletisers type Beumer paletpac. All of them are equipped with the newly developed Beumer twin-belt turning device, which enables bags filled with building material to be turned gently and stacks them in the correct position on pallets ensuring their dimensional stability. The twin-belt turning device can be rapidly adapted to various bag sizes. bags were deformed and sometimes even torn“, remembers Peter Richter, deputy factory manager in Allmendingen. The building material manufacturer was not able to ensure a proper and constant appearance of the palletized bags. Schwenk Putztechnik not only wanted to achieve an improved and steady stacking result, but also wanted to increase the production capacity, reduce the dust emissions and prolong the maintenance intervals. During their researches for a suitable supplier, the building material manufacturer found Beumer Group. The single-source provider from Beckum/Germany supplies sustainable systems for filling, palletizing and packaging technology from one source. The internationally active company is looking back on years of experience in the building material industry. „In cooperation with Schwenk Putztechnik we developed a solution which covers the requirements of both production plants,“ Peter Schmidt reports. As sales manager he was responsible for the project and has managed the palletizing and packaging technology business segment at Beumer Group since January 2014. Gentle palletising is ensured Beumer Group presented the high-capacity layer palletizer Beumer paletpac to the building material manufacturer. This construction series enables to stack bags filled About Beumer Beumer Group is an international manufacturing leader in intralogistics in the fields of conveying, loading, palletizing, packaging, sortation and distribution technology. Together with Crisplant a/s and Enexco Teknologies India Limited, the Beumer Group employed some 3,700 people in 2013. The group generated an annual turnover of approximately 627 million euros. With its subsidiaries and sales agencies, the group is present in many industries worldwide. with bulk material on pallets layer by layer. Due to the geometric precision during layer and stack formation, stable bag stacks are formed. Beumer supplied a system able to palletize 1,800 bags per hour as well as a system with a capacity of 2,500 bags per hour. In both plants the employees can adapt the palletizer quickly and easily to different bag sizes without the use of tools. With a pack height of up to 2,400 millimeters, the Beumer paletpac stacks bags on any commonly used pallet size and in all technically possible packing patterns. A multi-program interface enables the user to Dry mortar are prefabricated mixtures composed of mineral binding agents as cement, limestone, gypsum as well as sand, rock dust and further additives. On the building site the craftsmen have to mix them merely with water and they are ready for use. Owing to the avoidance of possible mixing errors, the producer can ensure a constant high product quality of this building material. Schwenk Putztechnik GmbH & Co. KG headquartered in Ulm/Germany is a manufacturer of sustainable and ecological dry mortar. The company has produced its materials for more than 160 years in seven plants. “We set great value on presenting our products in an optimum way in the building material trade,” says Martin Markus. At Schwenk Putztechnik he manages the plants in Eigeltingen and Allmendingen both Germany. Regarding the manufacturing process, the company focuses on trouble-free transport, palletizing process and packaging. Safe handling of bags “Our previous palletizing solution caused considerable problems during the turning of the bags.
