Greater flexibility
Already this year the new Form-Fill-Seal high-speed system the ADAMS® 2000 by HAVER & BOECKER for filling powder-type products into watertight PE bags will go into action for the first time at Lafarge Cement UK. The aim is to make its plants and products as environmentally friendly as possible. With this always in mind, already back in 2005 Lafarge Cement UK purchased machines of the newly developed HAVER FFS technology, which operates according to the HAVER ADAMS PROCESS® (HAP) principle. This provided optimum product protection, extended storage times and led to less dust along the entire logistical supply chain. Convinced by the advantages, Lafarge then put additional machines into operation for filling mortar products and special cements in various plants throughout England over the years. One outstanding advantage is the considerable speed increase from 1200 bags to over 2000 bags per hour. Moreover, also limited free-flowing products can be filled.
