THIMON

A flexible and cost-effective way of connecting tubes to each other reliably and stably. RK Rose+Krieger developed the precision-cast stainless steel tube connectors specially for heavy loads and impact-resistance. The high-strength tube connectors are resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, and are engineered for dynamic loads. An electrochemical passivation – the tube connectors are electropolished in a final working step – makes them more resilient and resistant to acids than elements made of untreated stainless steel. As a result they are particularly resistant to cleaning with aggressive cleaning agents or hot water from high-pressure cleaners, and ideally suitable for use in packaging machines or for feeding technology in plants in the chemicals industry. Stainless steel clamp connectors are tough. Stainless steel clamps are particularly important for users working in the fields of chemical and food technology.

Sleever wrappers operate with an upper and a lower film and are ideal in quickly providing heavy, large products with a safe protective packaging and/or transit packaging. Our robust sleeve wrappers are perfectly accessible from both sides. The lateral film unwinding units enable a quick and user-friendly roll change. As the product's sides remain open, film use is minimised. As an option, the BP 800 features an ultrasonic height detection system, enabling Hugo Beck's flexible banderoling machines to wrap products with a width of up to 800 mm and a height of up to 400 mm in film. In addition to our standard sleeve wrappers, special banderoling machines for special applications such as the stretch-banding of carton blanks are also part of the Hugo Beck portfolio.

Items that have initially been bagged using a machine from Hugo Beck often need to be shrunk so as to ensure a tight-fitting film and the perfect packaging finish to meet the highest standards. Adapted for each packaging system, we supply the appropriate shrink tunnel in all sizes and performance ranges for the production of high-quality shrink packaging. As such, we manufacture shrink tunnels in a number of versions, with a variety of rods and chains that operate like a link mesh belt. Textile mesh belts are also possible for very light products. In each case, the length of the shrink tunnel depends on the speed of packaging and on the film material selected. State-of-the-art air ducting and heat recovery ensure efficient energy use, helping us to contribute to both protection of the environment and reducing energy costs. The decision on whether to use a shrink tunnel with circulating air or convection principle is defined depending on the individual product application of the customer.

The continuous Form Fill and Seal machines servo X 800 are the most flexible and powerful of film packaging machines in the large-format segment – and all this with maximum modularity. The machines can be configured individually and thus meet all requirements. They are designed for packaging large-format products with a width of up to 800 mm and a length from 150 mm. Whether chain infeed or infeed conveyor, the machines win over with their continuous packaging process and no stop-and-go, meaning dead time is not an issue when sealing. Besides high performance, this enables extremely tight-fitting and precise packaging with a saving in film of up to 15 %. This ensures that the film packaging‘s excellent appearance is unrivalled. Depending on customer requirements, these packaging machines are equipped with different control systems.
