Solutions

Find the right machine for your line

Bag emptying machines 01

No more emptying bags by hand

Our Depaq machines cut open and empty bags of plastic granulate and other raw materials straight from the pallet: up to 1,100 bags an hour.

Bag emptying machines

Built for multi-shift use
Standard and custom models available
Fast return on investment

From production line to truck, automatically

Conveyors, freezer airlocks, transfer cars and truck loading systems that keep pallets moving through your plant.

Transport systems

Trucks loaded in minutes
Reduced energy use in cold stores
No more forklift damage to pallets and goods

Every IBC and drum tested before it leaves the line

Our automated test lines take IBCs (intermediate bulk containers) and 200-litre drums from the blow moulding machine, leak-test and weigh them, place the IBCs in cages and stack the units for the warehouse.

Test equipment

Tested, caged and stacked automatically
Faulty units rejected automatically
Stacked three high for the forklift

How we work,
in five steps

Our process

Our five-step process ensures your machine meets your exact requirements and is backed by a solid business case. You approve the design before we build, and a factory acceptance test proves the machine matches the specifications before our team installs it on site.

01

Assessment and business case

We start with the problem, not the machine. Together we talk through your product, capacity, space and existing line to pin down what you need, and calculate the total cost of ownership and return on investment. You receive a proposal with 3D drawings showing how the machine fits your plant.

02

Engineering

Our engineers design the machine and send you the 3D model to approve. We write the control software in-house, with one central controller for the entire machine.

03

Build and assembly

A dedicated team builds and wires your machine at our factory in Rijen, including the control cabinet.

04

Factory acceptance test (FAT)

Visit our factory to see your machine run under simulated load and confirm it meets your requirements. The full-capacity test follows on site.

05

Installation and service

Our team installs the machine, runs the site acceptance test with your product and trains your operators and maintenance staff. After that, we keep it running with planned maintenance, service reports and, with your permission, remote diagnostics.
