SysTec Systemtechnik und Industrieautomation GmbH (Germany) - For a new petrochemical factory in Vietnam, the intralogistics company BEUMER ordered a double filling station for plastic granulates from EMDE, using the powerful SysTec weighing electronics type IT8000E. In doing so, BEUMER paid particular attention to high throughput and accuracy.

The key facts:

• Filling capacity: 50 tons/hour
• Scale resolution of 100 g for a filling quantity of 1000 kg
• Robust weighing electronics
• PROFINET connection
• Fast implementation of filling systems through EMDE

Products:

•  IT8000E: Versatile and robust SysTec weighing terminal for continuous operation
•  SysTec application software BIG BAG E for rapid filling
•  EMDE double filling system with roller conveyors for moving of big bags

 Customer benefits:

• High throughput with double filling stations - fast and precise weighing technology
• Fast operation via precise filling systems
• Efficient control system
• Intuitive operation for personnel
• Connection to third-party systems, e.g. to a warehouse management system as well as to a higherlevel control system to which weighing data are sent for visualization in control rooms

With 5100 employees in over 70 countries, BEUMER offers intralogistics solutions in the areas of conveying, loading, palletizing, packaging, sorting and distribution. Apart from the chemical industry, BEUMER is active in sectors such as baggage handling, construction materials, mining, ports, and e-commerce.

The material to be filled - plastic granules:

In the double filling station, LLDPE (Linear Low Density Polyethylene), HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) and PP (Polypropylene) granules are weighed and filled into big bags.

By melting the granules, they can be converted into numerous end-use applications such as plastic bottles, packaging foil, cable sheathing, cell phone housings and technical fibers.

“Due to the easy integration into our systems and thanks to the intuitive handling by the plant operators, the W&M approved and internationally certified SysTec weighing terminals are very well suited for our worldwide projects", says Erik Seidel, Project Manager, EMDE.
