Turn key end-of-line solution: from filling bags to palletizing & stretch hooding (step-by-step guide)

You know the feeling. Your packaging line falters because machines from different suppliers do not communicate.

This costs you not only time, but also unnecessarily a lot of money.

A faltering process causes downtime and frustrated operators on the floor.

With a turn key end-of-line solution, you completely prevent these costly integration problems.

Step 1: Accurate and fast bag filling

The process begins with the exact weighing and filling of your product.

Whether you process powders, pellets or granulates, precision is crucial here.

You want to prevent product loss while maintaining high throughput speed.

Modern filling systems for bag filling guarantee this consistent quality and speed.

Step 2: Seamless transport and conditioning

After filling, the bags must be safely moved to the next machine.

Conveyor belts ensure a smooth flow without damage to the packaging.

Sometimes it is necessary to first flatten the bags.

This creates the perfect shape for the later stacking process.

Step 3: Stable and efficient palletizing

A neat pallet is essential for safe transport to your end customer.

During palletizing, the bags are placed in an overlapping pattern.

This ensures maximum stability, even with heavy or irregular loads.

Advanced robots or layer palletizers effortlessly take over this heavy work.

Step 4: Optimal protection with stretch hooding

Your product is now neatly on the pallet, but is still vulnerable.

With stretch hooding, you pull a seamless, waterproof film over the load.

This protects your goods against moisture, dust and shifting during transport.

Moreover, a tight stretch hood looks very professional to your customer.
