New series of fully automated packaging equipment for grain and feed

22 March 2021

The Bühler Group and Premier Tech have introduced the CHRONOS OML-1060, the first solution to be developed through this joint venture to create cost-effective, industrial, flexible packaging solutions.

With the same design and technology utilised in existing solutions produced in Europe, the fully automatic OML-1060 packaging solution for the grain, food and feed industries is said to be a more affordable iteration of an existing high-end solution. The most requested features have been incorporated and requirements of the emerging markets are met, without compromising accuracy or reliability.

As the first open-mouth bagger from the Premier Tech / Bühler alliance, the OML-1060 can handle free-flowing granular material such as animal feed, pet food, rice, seeds, and plastic pellets. It can handle 20 to 50kg bags at a speed of up to 600bags per hour. It has been designed to easily run any type of bag, including non-laminated poly woven that can be problematic to fill due to their irregular properties. It is also compatible with most common bag closing systems.

Its small and compact footprint optimises floorspace and its lean design eases operation and maintenance. As a fully enclosed automatic packaging technology it requires very limited operator interaction, enabling better working conditions.
