Potato Palletising – Verbruggen PM-VE 800

A. L. Lee & Sons is a family run farm at Ely covering some 9,000 acres. 2,000 acres of potatoes are grown every year with 35,000 tonnes sold from the farm in 25kg bags. The Verbruggen PM-VE 800 Palletiser installed in October 2004 had palletised over a million bags within 9 months of its arrival. Such has been its success and reliability the customer is already considering another machine for one of their other farms. Tony Lee states “with our customers’ reliant on orders being fulfiled at short notice, and a valuable commodity held in our stores ready for bagging, we needed a fast, accurate and reliable machine to hugely improve our bagging efficiency. The main reasons we bought this machine was for the health and safety benefits it provides to our employees and the neatness of the finished pallets. I could not ask my staff to stack more than 7 or 8 layers per pallet in safety, but with the palletiser we can, if needed, now send more bags on fewer pallets and with the finished stacks so neat and tight, we can fit more pallets on each lorry. Overall,  we have reduced labour, increased our output and  saved money on transportation.”

Flour Palletising – PM-HE400

A national group of flour millers based in The Midlands originally purchased a  PM-HE400 Verbruggen Palletiser to help them stack small batches using a range of 16kgs, 20kgs, 25kgs and 32kgs bags of flour. The machine is a simple design capable of stacking a number of bag sizes on different size pallets.

The customer was so satisfied with the machine that they have subsequently installed a larger, higher capacity VPM 700 machine on a second line, and have most recently ordered a third machine also with a capacity of 700 bags per hour.  The systems can be easily integrated into existing bagging operations to minimise production disruption, and their reliability and build quality ensures years of trouble free stacking.
