HAVER & BOECKER, a global leader in packing, palletizing and bagging equipment, provides rebuilds and upgrades to modernize production process and prolong packing equipment longevity, without large investment of replacing machine or equipment line.

Rebuilds and upgrades fall under HAVER & BOECKER’s PROcheck lifecycle approach. Often, that approach starts with an engineer conducting an on-site audit called a Plant Optimization Plan.

It assesses the operation’s current performance, including the relationship between the machine, bag and product. The customer then receives a digital report and works together with the HAVER & BOECKER team to complete the suggested changes to the packing line.

These suggestions can range from updating obsolete technology to retrofitting a machine for ease of maintenance.

Enhancing performance

HAVER & BOECKER’s Performance+ Kits allow technicians to replace certain assemblies in packing equipment with a modernized version.

For instance, the ROTO-LOCK Performance+ Kit replaces existing dosing technology, reducing dust emissions, spillage and product loss through its innovative shaft-sealed design with a fully enclosed metal system and a rubber interface between the dosing gates.

The ROTO-LOCK can be integrated into the ROTO-PACKER rotary packing machine, the INTEGRA packing machine, the ELEMENTRA packing machine and the ADAMS Technology.

The Performance+ Kits include 121 different technologies, such as SEAL Technology, MEC 4.0, drive technology and more.

Replacing old parts

Once equipment on the packing line gets old enough, parts are no longer readily available, and maintenance intervals become shorter as equipment requires more upkeep.

HAVER & BOECKER offers Performance+ Rebuilds to convert older machines to meet current safety and energy consumption goals, extending the lifespan, increasing operational output and also leading to faster processing and less wear and tear on the surrounding equipment.
