HAVER & BOECKER is marking two decades of its ADAMS Technology, a system that has been used across the cement, building materials, food and chemical sectors since its introduction in 2005. The technology combines tubular film with Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) processes and is designed to improve product protection, cleanliness and energy efficiency, using up to 50% less energy per bag than conventional systems. Integrated into the ROTO-PACKER® RS, the technology enables a fully enclosed FFS packing process, helping reduce product loss, improve weight accuracy, optimize transportation and produce highly palletizable bags.
“We knew some industries — cement, building materials and pigment packing plants especially needed a new packing option to keep their product safe and uncontaminated throughout the shipping and storage process. The development of ADAMS technology didn’t just give packing operations a highly efficient machine, it also increased the protection of their product once packing is completed. FFS bags help ensure our customers’ product is protected and uncontaminated throughout the packing and shipping process,” said Mark Wehling, head of sales group minerals at HAVER & BOECKER. “We’re excited to introduce the ROTO-PACKER® RST featuring ADAMS® technology in light of the 20th anniversary of this advanced product.”
The ROTO-PACKER® RS addresses challenges associated with long-distance shipping and extended logistics chains by cutting and welding each bag shut to create a fully sealed, weatherproof package. This approach reduces film consumption while allowing products to be transported over greater distances and stored for longer periods with lower risk of spills or contamination. The rotary packing machine operates at rates of 400 to 1,200 bags per hour with up to 10 filling spouts and features a compact design intended to simplify installation and reduce space requirements. Its enclosed housing supports cleaner powder-filling operations, while large access doors improve cleaning and maintenance, contributing to enhanced weight accuracy and longer equipment life.
For fine powder applications, the ROTO-PACKER® is available in the RST configuration with a turbine-based T-Module designed to improve deaeration and operating efficiency. The RSL version uses an air-filling module that conveys product into packaging through air pressure and can be equipped with a fully ventilated base plate. Both filling options are designed to consume more than 50% less energy than traditional filling modules. The machine also incorporates QUAT²RO® AI solutions, including Bag Check, which verifies that the correct bag is loaded before filling begins, and MatEx Check, which uses a high-definition camera to detect bursting bags and stop operations within seconds. Through its BESPOKE consulting service, HAVER & BOECKER also assists customers in selecting and designing FFS bags that support a harmonized filling process. As the company celebrates 20 years of ADAMS Technology, it continues to position the ROTO-PACKER® RS as a solution focused on efficiency, product protection and operational reliability.
