SOME THINK OPTIMAL LOAD STABILITY COSTS MORE. WE THINK DIFFERENT. At BEUMER we have a reputation for making things a little different.

Take the BEUMER stretch hood® transport packaging system. In a sector where energy-intensive shrink hooding or stretch wrapping is the norm, the stretch hood method represents the state-of-the-art sustainable alternative. The result: better load stability, higher throughput and environmental protection, up to 10 times less film consumption and 90% energy savings.

Since conventional pallet wrapping systems failed to satisfy increasing requirements, the logistics provider needed to replace the legacy wrapping system with a new end-of-line packaging system.

The end-of-line packaging system would need to package palletised load units of different heights and contours to eliminate presorting, film changes and unnecessary film consumption. Furthermore, customer surveys showed that the pallet base should be free of film, that the film had to protect

ensure accurate barcode reading. For this reason, shrink hooding was dismissed as a potential packaging solution, as the shrink hood covers the pallet base and becomes milky in appearance due to the shrinking process.

In addition, available wrapping technologies fell short of Fiege’s requirements, as traditional stretch wrapping involves high film consumption. Now a packaging system consisting of the BEUMER stretch hood® and the upstream and downstream roller conveyors is used. The system packages up to 1,000 palletised load units per day.

rotec was founded in 1990 out of the passion and the approximately 20 years experience of an outstanding professional in the agro-food sector:

Luigi Sandei. Already the first European manufacturer of self-powered, optically sensing tomato harvesters, Mr. Sandei decided to apply his personal experience to the production of the first optical sorters for use in the tomato processing industry.

From then on, development has not slowed down.

Sorter for whole tomatoes, fruit and vegetables This machine is capable of sorting tomatoes according to desired color. Depending on the application, it can reject either product of incorrect color or any foreign bodies from the product stream. The range of application is very wide; from tomatoes in general to peeled tomato, and to red peppers. This family of sorters includes both single vision systems, that inspect the product on the upper part, and double vision systems that inspect the product on both the upper and lower part. Each vision unit is equipped with a brush cleaning system for the periodic

wards directed air stream, floating between two mesh belts. Moisture is extracted from this current of air in a cooler. In a second heat exchanger, the air is heated slightly enabling it to absorb water from the lettuce when it passes. Due to the evaporation of the moisture on the surface of the leaf, the lettuce hardly heats up. During the last part of the process, the lettuce is cooled once again, leaving the tunnel at a temperature of approximately 3°C. An external heat pump cools and heats the air.

“Old” machines often operate well from the technical point of view, but are outdated in terms of mechanics, electronics, PLC. By revising and updating the mechanic parts of a machine, replacing or installing electronic parts, PLC and latest-generation sensors, it is possible to obtain a machine that is practically new, at a cost equal to about 20% of a newly manufactured one.
