Haver & Boecker Introduces Hybrid Technology for Pigment Packaging

Haver & Boecker OHG has introduced a new hybrid Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) solution designed to enhance the pigment packaging process. The technology aims to address specific challenges within the pigment industry, including the handling of sticky materials, product protection, and increased operational efficiency.

The hybrid FFS solution utilizes durable, fully sealed bags that protect pigments from weather, contamination, and logistical stress. Haver & Boecker's ADAMS® technology enables more precise dosing while minimizing waste and improving workplace safety through an enclosed system. The company states this also enhances packaging cost-effectiveness and reduces product loss.

Manufacturers have already seen success with the technology's implementation. For example, a Belgian titanium dioxide company successfully transitioned from traditional valve bags to hybrid FFS packaging to improve product protection. Another case involves a carbon black producer that adopted the INTEGRA ISL ADAMS® system to maintain operational cleanliness and boost productivity.

Haver & Boecker highlights that the technology also supports sustainability goals by reducing product spills and promoting more efficient material usage. Fully sealed bags prevent the escape of fine dust, enhancing the quality of the work environment and employee safety. The company also offers other packaging solutions if hybrid FFS is not suitable for all needs.
