Production Start Instead of Infrastructure Projects: Mobile Bagging
GREIF-VELOX's container-based solution delivers a ready-to-operate bagging system directly to the production site. This significantly reduces installation and integration efforts while creating flexible production capacities for bulk materials.
The requirements for modern production facilities are changing. Companies today need flexible capacities, short project lead times, and investment solutions that can quickly adapt to changing market conditions. With the VeloUnit Container, GREIF-VELOX has developed a mobile bagging solution that meets exactly these requirements: a pre-assembled container-based plant for fast and efficient bulk material bagging with minimal installation effort.
The VeloUnit Container combines the proven technology of the GREIF-VELOX BVPV gross pneumatic packer with a modular container-based system concept. Thanks to its high degree of pre-assembly, installation, integration, and commissioning efforts are significantly reduced. To start production, users only need to connect the container modules and provide a power supply. Extensive construction work and lengthy installation phases are largely eliminated.
Flexibility Through Container-Based Design
The container concept enables operation at different locations without the need for extensive plant infrastructure. This opens up new opportunities for rapidly growing operations, temporary production sites, and projects with limited space availability. Operators benefit from lower investment costs compared to building new facilities while achieving rapid operational readiness. The result is a fast return on investment.
At the Core: The BVPV Gross Pneumatic Packer
At the heart of the system is the GREIF-VELOX BVPV gross pneumatic packer. It is designed for the precise filling of powders, fine-grained products, granulates, pellets, and product blends into paper and woven PE valve bags. Particle sizes ranging from 50 µm to 12 mm can be processed.
A specially developed dosing technology combined with a legally compliant weighing system ensures high filling accuracy while minimizing product losses. Product-friendly filling is achieved through an airflow tailored to the specific material. This allows even demanding bulk materials to be packaged precisely and efficiently.
The system is suitable for industries such as chemicals, petrochemicals, food processing, and building materials. Depending on the configuration, output rates of up to 800 bags per hour with four packers can be achieved.
Hygienic Design for Demanding Applications
Another key advantage of the VeloUnit Container is its hygienic design. Product-contact components made of stainless steel and optimized vessel geometries reduce cleaning efforts and downtime while minimizing the risk of contamination.
To ensure reliable operation under various environmental conditions, additional systems such as ventilation, climate control, or weather protection can be integrated. Maintenance hatches and service access points ensure excellent accessibility despite the compact design. Multi-level container solutions can also be equipped with platforms and stair systems for safe access.
Three Levels of Automation
The VeloUnit is available in three automation levels, allowing users to select the configuration that best matches their production requirements.
Manual Configuration
The manual version combines the pneumatic packer, ultrasonic sealing technology, and control system in a compact unit. It is particularly suitable for smaller production volumes or applications requiring higher operator involvement.
Semi-Automatic Configuration
The semi-automatic version adds automatic bag placement systems and conveying technology. This reduces operator workload, improves process stability, and supports continuous material flow.
Fully Automatic Configuration
For maximum productivity, the system can be equipped with automatic bag feeding and robotic palletizing. This enables highly autonomous operation with minimal labor requirements. For high-capacity applications, multi-packer configurations are also available.
Modular Expansion Options
The container solution can be expanded with a wide range of additional modules, including:
ValvoSeal ultrasonic sealing technology
Automatic bag applicators
Conveying systems
Robotic palletizing
Aspiration and dust recovery systems
Process monitoring sensors
ATEX-certified versions
GMP-compliant designs for food applications
This allows the VeloUnit Container to be tailored to specific products, industries, and automation requirements.
Rapid Deployment and Scalability
The VeloUnit Container combines mobility, economic efficiency, and proven bagging technology in a single solution. Its high degree of pre-assembly significantly shortens project timelines, while the scalable system architecture supports future expansions. Operators benefit from rapid deployment, high flexibility, and a cost-effective entry into modern bulk material bagging.
Conclusion
Instead of investing first in buildings, infrastructure, and lengthy construction projects, companies can create production capacity directly with the container-based solution. The system arrives largely pre-assembled at the site and enables a rapid production start while providing maximum flexibility and economic efficiency.
