Packaging automation moves beyond manual control

Packaging technology has evolved from manual bag placement and hand-controlled fill weights to fully automated operation, with technical innovation driving each stage. The shift matters for cement and other building materials, where throughput, fill accuracy and changeover speed directly affect line performance.

Ventomatic has marked several milestones in that transition. The company developed microprocessor-based filling and weighing controllers and introduced an electronic rotary packaging machine, changes that altered how cement and building materials are packed on high-volume lines.

GIROMAT EVO balances compact design and modular capacity

The GIROMAT EVO series is a rotary packaging system built around modularity and flexibility for producers of different sizes.

The system can be configured with impeller or fluidized filling technology depending on material characteristics.

Its modular architecture allows producers to match initial capacity to current output needs and add filling units later, supporting gradual expansion without replacing the entire machine and reducing the initial investment threshold.

GEP packaging machine targets frequent product and bag changes

For production environments that require frequent switching between product lines and bag types, the GEP packaging machine provides a higher level of automated control. An automatic cleaning cycle removes the need for manual changeover procedures, while position-controlled flow gates eliminate manual adjustment. Smart product detection sensors are designed to handle multiple materials without recalibration.

Selective dust extraction is used to optimize energy consumption, activating only when necessary. Optimized flow geometry and an intelligent control system are intended to maintain consistent fill weights while reducing material loss.

A tool-free maintenance design shortens sleeve replacement to less than three minutes, improving operational efficiency. The combination of automated changeover and material handling is aimed at reducing downtime in multi-product plants.
