Advantages of the PACPAL technology
Modular concept
The PACPAL Roto fill has a modular concept. This design
has been used for more than 25 years and is permanently
being developed further. The main advantage of the
modular design is the independent and self-optimising
filling process for each filling turbine. The operation of
the modules is not coupled and each filling module is
responsible for its own filling process and the weighing
of the bag. Therefore, a high availability of the packing
machine is always guaranteed, even in the case of a filling
module failure. Another advantage of this technology is
quick enlargement to increase the packing capacity. The
replacement of an individual module can be done within a
short time period and optimises maintenance work at the
equipment.
Upstream dedusting on PACPAL Roto Fill
The Claudius Peters upstream dedusting system allows a
trouble-free and nearly dust-free filling process. The dust
that arises when filling the bag is sucked upwards to the
main filter by means of suitable ‘dedusting channels’.
The low quantity of remaining cement which occurs
inevitably during rejection and finishing of the filling
process is collected in the spillage funnel and fed into
the spillage return system by gravity. It is not necessary
to suck the cement below the packing plant. This
facilitates the design of the spillage return system since no
depression exists in the spillage funnels (discharge units
such as double pendulum flaps are not necessary). This
arrangement allows a maintenance friendly and therefore
a cost-effective operation for the customer.
Easy access and easy maintenance
The advantages of the PACPAL technology can be seen
from the example of the PACPAL Roto Fill. A modular
design, independently working filling systems with
corresponding weighing electronics as well as an optimum
access to all components permits a quick and simple
maintenance of all necessary wear and spare parts.
Furthermore, we ensure a simple and user-friendly control
of the individual components and the complete packing
and palletising plant. Claudius Peters’ PACPAL philosophy
is to have a simple and comprehensive structure of the
machine technology and high technical perfection and
know-how. The operator and user should understand
the PACPAL machines and should control all-important
functions independently.
Supply and design of wear and spare parts
Claudius Peters offers coding of the individual spare and
wear parts, hence, the client has the possibility to purchase
these parts quickly and efficiently. Much attention is given
to a simple and functional design. Complicated and high
production expenses for components prevent a local
supply and increase the operating costs of a plant. The
PACPAL program offers the possibility to easily replace
the wear and spare parts. The Claudius Peters After Sales
and Spare Parts Service offers any support for exchange of
spare parts.
Quick and efficient engineering
Due to special engineering programs such as the
Engineering Base, Claudius Peters is in a position to
prepare all necessary documentation in a very short
time. These are mainly the flow sheets with all necessary
process data, motor and instrumentation lists as well as all
additional information which are necessary to develop a
complete packing and palletising process. The advantage
to Claudius Peters’ customers is a quick execution of all
important project steps after placing the order.
Conclusion
The supply of the packing and palletiser plant for Bolivia
comprises of all the relevant core technologies that are
necessary for the realisation of the task. One special
challenge is the altitude of 4000 m above mean sea level.
This requires special motors and special electrical switching
and control elements that are suitable for this altitude.
The advantages of the PACPAL technology ensure the
trouble-free and cost efficient, as well as low maintenance
operation of the plant.
The delivery of the plant components is scheduled
for 2017. With this order, Claudius Peters is proud of this
product program for cement bagging and palletising
plants, introduced successfully under the brand-name
PACPAL.
