With the exception of short interruptions for cleaning and paper changes , the machine runs continuously , achieving an effectiveness of 97 percent .
the packaging still allows moisture exchange and contributes to the flour ’ s extended shelf life . As the sealing medium is only applied selectively , the packaging material has a fiber content of over 95 percent and can conveniently be recycled as mono-material through the paper waste stream . The PME 4081 BS packages around 80 tons of flour per day in two shifts . Syntegon ’ s solution folds the bags using a mandrel wheel before two auger fillers with integrated dust suction stations fill each bag individually in two steps to reduce dusting . Afterwards , the filled flour bags are shaken on the closing chain by means of vibration for about ten seconds to make sure the flour is fully compressed . Finally , thermal sealing jaws seal the bags to create robust , dust-tight , and compact flour packages .
Maximum performance with 97 percent machine effectiveness
“ Our solution reduces downtimes to a minimum ,” says Uwe Pfander , Senior Sales Manager at Syntegon .
“ With the exception of short interruptions for cleaning and paper changes , the machine runs continuously , achieving an effectiveness of 97 percent . Comparable solutions from our competitors often only reach a maximum of 75 percent .”
Besides the machine ’ s high availability , the experts at Roland Mills United are also impressed with its packaging flexibility . “ Thanks to extensive test runs , we knew that we could process paper from various suppliers on the machine . This gives us an important competitive advantage ,” explains Karrenbauer . For Roland
The Roland Mills United milling group has opted for a new line solution from Syntegon consisting of the Package Maker PME 4081 BS and the case packer Elematic 3001 WAH .

Mills , it is important not to depend on a single supplier , but to be able to use different packaging materials in the future – one of the benefits delivered by the Package Maker from Syntegon .
The quality commitment of Roland Mills United doesn ’ t stop at primary packaging . The flour ’ s secondary packaging needs to live up to high expectations as well . “ We want to offer our dust-tight flour bags in premium retail , which is why we invested in a Syntegon case packer that packages them in a sustainable display carton ,” Karrenbauer adds . The Elematic 3001 WAH from Syntegon packs 100 flour packs per minute – and is particularly sustainable thanks to minimal use of adhesives . When folding the display cartons , the adhesive is only applied selectively so that the secondary packaging can easily be disposed of in the paper waste . For Roland Mills , this makes the PME 4081 BS package maker and the Elematic 3001 WAH the ideal combination for sustainable as well as dust-tight flour packaging .
