Indonesian cement manufacturer installs palletiser

PT SemenTonasa ‘s plant on the island of Bali has commissioned BEUMER Group to supply a palletising system for 40 and 50kg bags. This enables the manufacturer to accelerate processes and relieve its personnel of heavy physical work. Installation and commissioning is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2022.

PT Semen Tonasa is part of Semen Indonesia Group, the largest cement manufacturer in Southeast Asia. In Indonesia alone, the group has a market share of more than 50%. At its Celukan Bawang plant on the island of Bali, employees stack the 40 and 50kg cement bags on pallets, which are then fed into the packaging system.

Reliable palletiser

A forklift truck takes the palletised and packaged stacks and loads them onto the loading spaces of the trucks. For the personnel, this is not only physically very strenuous, but also takes a lot of time. In order to accelerate this process and relieve the personnel, PT Semen Tonasa has commissioned BEUMER Group to supply a layer palletiser.

The cement manufacturer has opted for the palletiser of the system supplier, because the system exactly complies with the required technical specifications. Very good stack quality and reliability are characteristics of the palletiser. A multi-program interface includes all common packing patterns, and can be individually adjusted to the different requirements of the building materials industries.

Global influences such as delivery bottlenecks, shortages of raw materials and logistics problems continue to massively disrupt the supply chains. Nevertheless, the system provider will be able to send the machine to the customer in seven months. The target is to install and commission the machine in the third quarter of 2022.

Vaccine Packaging Wrapper

Market leader in the end-of-line packaging sector and technology partner to Pfizer, Robopac will be guaranteeing the vaccine’s packaging and transport safety following its contribution to the
development of ad hoc solutions for the packaging of pharmaceutical products made by the American giant. A significant achievement for everyone, in which Robopac – once again – has
played a leading role in an industrial venture with great humanitarian importance.

The partnership between Robopac and Pfizer is based on a shared philosophy that focuses on collective interest from a global perspective, with a view to providing high-performing products
that are human-centred and environmentally conscious. In line with this approach, Ecoplat Plus is the solution adopted by Pfizer for packaging the vaccine doses due to be distributed in the USA. A wrapping turntable featuring state-of-the-art technology, it uses stretch film that guarantees advanced performance including maximum protection of the goods due to its reliability, strength, and ease of use. Not only that, the Ecoplat Plus technology also keeps film consumption down while ensuring product safety, which means a lower impact of the raw material used.

People and the environment are intrinsically linked and Robopac strivers to protect this relationship through continuous investments in innovation and technology. Demonstrating this, four TechLabs set up around the world offer a unique way of conducting research, concentrating above all on reducing the impact of plastic, and have delivered results including 60% less
consumption and full recyclability of materials.

Robopac is committed to demonstrating its belief in its role as One Global Company that offers high-performance packaging solutions throughout the world. Its particular focus on the end-of-line
equipment is backed by sensitivity to circular economy issues, resulting in a combination of technology, innovation, and sustainability.

At the same time, a widespread presence on international markets allows Robopac to fuel its untiring research and development activities following a tailor-made approach that responds to the most specific needs of each market and each customer. Responsibility and passion are the watchwords at Robopac, accompanied by an ever-growing focus on the environment as a core issue for the company.

With this in mind, Robopac is proud, once again, to be part of a process focusing on the well being of people and to see its technology as part of the fight against Covid-19 and its devastating effects worldwide.
