Haver & Boecker's Roto-Packer for small bags enables powder products to be packed into compact PE bags for the first time.

Due to its Adams technology, the new equipment fills powder-type bulk products into compact PE bags at speeds of up to 600 bags per hour and features a stepless bag weight selection of 1 – 10 kg.

Filling into bags made from a film tube or into pre-made bags is now possible. Moreover, by using an additional module, it is also possible to form the bag from a flat film within the Roto-Packer system.

The bags are sealed air-tight and are impermeable to the weather. They are clean, compact and provide for an attractive appearance. The system saves costs in packaging and storage.
