In collaboration with the team at Hemag Nova AG in Aadorf (wholesale company for e-cigarettes and tobacco products in the B2B sector), BVS Verpackungs-Systeme was able to realize a great project that has significantly increased the efficiency and ergonomics of the packaging process.
Originally, a simple, non-driven roller conveyor was requested for a buffer section to temporarily store the shipping goods before onward transportation. Our project manager Sinisa Popadic analyzed the existing processes and work steps on site and presented an efficient solution that went one step further. Previously, employees were involved in all work steps from picking to strapping the parcels. The new idea was to organize the work steps based on a division of labour and thus shorten the distances in the packaging process.
The newly installed, powered roller conveyor transports the picked goods in KLT boxes to the packing stations. The Workbenches have integrated Silos for Bubble wrap, which allow for convenient access to the packing material and thus quick packing of shipments. Underfloor conveying technology transports the ready-to-ship packages to the dispatch area. Larger packages are no longer placed on the floor, but rather through an integrated Lifting unit filled at the workplace at an ergonomic working height and then brought to the height of the roller conveyor and transported to the strapping station.
Packaging - As much as necessary,
as little as possible
BVS uses the NaturePak label for products that enable ecologically sound use, reduce CO2 emissions and generate less waste, regardless of the packaging material used.
Our strategy
Packaging made from recycled paper
Paper pays off for people and the environment in the long term. It is even better to use paper with a high recycled content. Recycled paper optimizes water and energy consumption and thus protects the environment and climate by reducing waste. Recycled paper offers a wide range of added value for all users.
Plastic packaging with recycled content
Polyethylene films are increasingly being produced with a proportion of recycled material, which - as far as technically possible - is being continuously increased. They are the most modern and safest quality packaging for all branches of industry. Due to their low density and excellent physical and mechanical properties, PE films have major advantages over paper, cardboard, metal and glass.
