Sugar packaging transformed with ROVEMA SBS Brick Pack Technology
ROVEMA UK has successfully delivered an advanced sugar packaging solution for British Sugar. Helping to modernise their production with a flexible, highperformance, brick pack system capable of handling a multitude of product formats, all while overcoming installation challenges along the way.
Every new packaging project presents its own unique requirements, and for British Sugar, the objective was very clear: Introduce a highly flexible packaging solution that can produce a variety of retail sugar formats, whilst also maintaining exceptional pack quality, efficiency and long-term reliability.
Working closely with the team at British Sugar, ROVEMA UK supplied and installed both its SBS Single Tube and SBS Twin Tube brick pack systems, creating a versatile production solution capable of packing sugar products ranging from 500g through to 2kg into fully recyclable, shelf-ready brick packs.

Engineering Beyond the Machine
This project clearly demonstrated that successful installations rely on much more than supplying world-class machinery. One of the biggest challenges came before the production had even begun.
With the packaging equipment destined for a second-floor production area, the standard and conventional installation methods were not feasible due to restricted access. Rather than allowing the building constraints to dictate the project, ROVEMA engineers redesigned the machines so they could be transported into the location in two sections, carefully hoisted into position before being reassembled and commissioned on-site.
ROVEMA firmly believes that customers should never have to adapt their vision to suit the equipment. This customer-focused approach enabled the installation to proceed without compromising the machine’ s performance or design, demonstrating ROVEMA’ s commitment to delivering innovative engineering solutions while fully meeting British Sugar’ s installation requirements.
Flexible Packaging for Multiple Formats
Located within British Sugar’ s packing facility, the SBS Single and SBS Twin Tube systems provide the flexibility needed to package a broad range of sugar products on the same production line.
The ROVEMA SBS system combines Vertical Form Fill and Seal( VFFS) technology with specialist downstream modules to create compact, stackable brick packs in one continuous process.
While widely recognised for powder applications, the SBS platform has a record proven of versatility across the food and non-food sectors, with more than 350 installations operating today worldwide.
