Its modular design optimises every stage of the packaging process, from bag forming and accurate filling through to sealing and final pack shaping, ensuring consistent quality regardless of the product format.
The SBS Twin Tube system itself is delivering impressive outputs of up to 100 bags per minute on the British Sugar application, with the wider SBS platform currently operating at speeds of up to 160 bags per minute depending on the product and pack formats.
Working alongside the twin-tube system, the SBS Single Tube machine provides additional production flexibility while maintaining identical levels of precision, pack quality and reliability before transferring finished packs directly to the downstream palletising system.
Precision Filling for Consistent Performance
Positioned above each packaging machine is a ROVEMA SDH Servo Auger Doser, designed to deliver accurate filling performance while maintaining high production speeds.
Using servo-controlled auger technology, the system precisely controls exactly how much product enters every pack.
Continuous product mixing within the hopper ensures an even product flow, while the gentle filling minimises any dust generation, helping maintain clean seals, consistent weights, and reliable packaging performance all throughout production.
Building Long-Term Partnerships
Since commissioning the systems, British Sugar has achieved production outputs that have exceeded expectations on selected pack formats, demonstrating the benefits of combining advanced packaging technology with collaborative project management.
For ROVEMA, this project reflects the company’ s philosophy that every installation is different and should be tailored to the customer’ s operational requirements.
Whether overcoming complex installation constraints, integrating specialist dosing technology, or delivering flexible packaging solutions capable of supporting future production demands, the focus remains the same: helping customers achieve reliable, efficient and long-term packaging performance.
Alex Spain, Marketing Manager at ROVEMA UK, commented:
“ Every customer has different production requirements, and that’ s why collaboration is such an important part of every project we undertake. This installation demonstrates that our job is so much more than simply supplying a packaging machine. We need to understand each application, overcome any engineering challenges, and deliver a tailored solution that continues to perform for many years. We’ re delighted to have supported British Sugar with this project and look forward to continuing our strong partnership.”
