BEUMER Group loading systems are characterised by efficiency, ease of use and superior performance.

Precise palletising technology
For over 30 years, BEUMER Group has designed and developed innovative palletising technology for a wide variety of products. Whether for the building materials and cement industries, the chemical industry, or the food and beverage and animal feed industry – BEUMER palletisers feature first-class stack quality and reliability. To be able to survive in international competition, companies need high-capacity palletisers that guarantee long service lives even under extreme loads. BEUMER palletising technology is individually tailored to a company?s specific requirements and wishes. With palletising systems from BEUMER Group, all packaging units are handled gently and palletised optimally. The perfect appearance of the palletised load units ensures safe transport and a positive response from the recipient.

With the BEUMER robotpac? and BEUMER paletpac? product lines, BEUMER Group offers a versatile, comprehensive product range to meet the wide variety of requirements. Thanks to their modular design, individual machines can be simply and quickly adapted if higher performance is required.

The efficient and safe packaging of products is a big cross-industry challenge successfully mastered by BEUMER Group through long years of engagement and experience. Irrespective of the application, be it in chemical, building materials or food and beverage industry, BEUMER Group equipment and solutions make reliable and sustainable packaging of any product possible.

Films help to protect palletised goods from inclement weather, tampering and incidents. Each film packaging technology has its advantages and is particularly suited for certain applications. That?s why BEUMER Group offers comprehensive solutions for all common packaging methods.

Goods vehicles, railway wagons, ships or barges – there is no form of goods transport for which BEUMER Group does not offer an ideal loading and unloading solution. The actual loading machine remains the focus of attention. Customers select additional components to build complete loading systems to meet their precise requirements and BEUMER Group plans, manufactures and installs the complete system. BEUMER Group loading systems are characterised by efficiency, ease of use and superior performance.

Every transportation scenario is different: it may involve moving coarse-grained material through rugged terrain from the quarry to the factory grounds, or hot materials from a kiln cooling system to a silo. However, all of these applications have one thing in common: when it comes to economical transport, BEUMER Group provides the ideal solution.
