SAFETY FIRST
SPX FLOW has released its
new Gerstenberg Schröder
Butter Bulk Packer BP5000 that prioritises safety and ease of use, building with the latest technology and innovation in the field.
Safety features include a liner that closes before the carton leaves the machine, ensuring no exposure to free air outside the machine, which reduces the risk of airborne yeast and mold contamination; covered lining rolls; an enclosed packaging machine; an optional clean
air filter that maintains cleaner air around the product filing area; transparent, noise-reducing safety doors to ensure safety and ease of use, and integrated working platform for service.
The fully-automated bulk packer separates semi-solid fat into individual product portions — from 10 kg to 25 kg cartons. While primarily used for butter, it can also be used for vegetable fats and dairy blends.

Addressing these concerns, the R5+ Robot can travel across a warehouse grid at speeds of three metres per second, easily handle 650 bin presentations every hour, carry large 425 mm-high bins, and features class- leading energy efficiency.
Ten R5 Robots use less energy than the average vacuum cleaner.
The R5+ Robots present the market with a formidable solution, as they work around the clock and are energy efficient, supporting high throughput as they complete tasks faster than manual labourers.
