HAVER & BOECKER has introduced new upgrades to its ROTO-PACKER ® RVT series aimed at improving efficiency, reducing dust generation and supporting higher output levels in cement, building materials and chemical packaging operations. The company said the patented ROTO-LOCK ® dosing unit is now a standard feature on newly manufactured systems, helping operators reduce material loss during filling while increasing production performance. Combined with the optional ROTO-FEED ® airless rotary feeder, the company stated that the equipment delivers a significantly cleaner packing process while minimizing downtime across continuous operations. The system is designed for around-the-clock use and can be configured for individual product requirements across industrial applications.
“The ROTO-LOCK ® and ROTO-FEED ® systems significantly improve operational sustainability — not just in the traditional sense of the word but holistically by positively impacting environmental, social and economic outcomes. Less dust around the machine is better for the environment, the people working at the operation and, of course, the bottom line,” said Mirko Hoffman, Head of Sales — Cement at HAVER & BOECKER. “To achieve that outcome, making the ROTO-LOCK ® a standard feature on our ROTO-PACKER ® RVT just makes sense.” The ROTO-PACKER ® RVT can operate with up to 16 filling spouts and process between 1,000 and 6,000 bags per hour. The company added that the machine includes intelligent ventilation, Siemens TIA Portal controls, MEC 4.0 weighing electronics and status-indicating illumination systems as standard features to support intelligent packing operations.
HAVER & BOECKER also highlighted its QUAT²RO technology suite, which adds AI-driven verification capabilities to the newest ROTO-PACKER generation. QUAT²RO ® BAGcheck scans empty bags before filling begins to prevent incorrect bag usage, while QUAT²RO ® VALVEcheck identifies improperly opened valves that could affect filling precision and production speed. QUAT²RO ® SEALcheck monitors sealing quality during transfer from the packer to palletizing stages to ensure improperly sealed bags are removed before shipment. According to the company, the combined ROTO-LOCK ® and ROTO-FEED ® configuration delivers up to 70% cleaner operation than conventional slide gate dosing systems while allowing filling speeds to improve by as much as 8%.
For fully automated packaging lines, the ROTO-PACKER ® RVT can be integrated with the AMICUS ® DEPAL Edition, RADIMAT ® Bag Applicator and AMICUS ® PAL Edition to automate bag placement, filling and palletizing processes. HAVER & BOECKER also stated that existing systems can be modernized through Rebuilds & Upgrades and Performance+ Kits for the ROTO-LOCK ® and ROTO-FEED ® technologies, helping facilities lower spare part requirements, reduce energy consumption and strengthen intelligent packing performance.
