This company’s patented ROTO-LOCK® dosing unit is now standard on new rotary packing machines in the ROTO-PACKER RV series. The dosing system reduces product loss during the packing process, increasing production output. The ROTO-LOCK®, a specialized shaft-sealed dosing unit, fully closes the gate once a valve bag is packed with material. A rubber interface between the slide gates ensures no dust escapes while the machine rotates, and a new bag is placed on the filling spout. Once the new bag is in place, the process repeats. Because of the rubber interface and dust reduction, the ROTO-LOCK® undergoes less wear and tear than traditional slide gate dosing units. As a result, it cuts back on spare part costs and extends service intervals. When paired with the optional ROTO-FEED® airless rotary feeder, the ROTO-PACKER® system provides a cleaner packing process that reduces downtime and enhances efficiency. The ROTO-PACKER® fills more bags in less time with the capacity to run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Cement, building materials and chemical operations can customize their ROTO-PACKER® for their unique product to get the most out of their machine. The ROTO-PACKER® RVT features up to 16 filling spouts to pack cement, building materials and chemical products into valve bags. The machine can fill between 1,000 and 6,000 bags per hour (17 to 100 bags per minute). In addition to the ROTO-LOCK®, it comes standard with an intelligent ventilation system for an optimal filling process, a Siemens TIA Portal control system, intelligent illumination to indicate operating status and MEC 4.0 weighing electronics specially developed for the needs in the bagging industry. — Haver & Boecker, Oelde, Germany
