Broekman opens new facility for BASF
Broekman Logistics held an official ceremony to open the modern bagging line for BASF. In the presence of invited guests, the bagging line was put into operation. This is a milestone for Broekman Logistics in Antwerp (Belgium), since it is the first big investment after the acquisition of VLS-Group at the end of last year. The new bagging line comprises machines of prime brands with high quality materials.
For BASF quality and capacity increase are a key focus point for the modernisation of the bagging line. The upgrade significantly increases capacity from 400 to 800 bags of ammonium per hour. By use of a robotic palletiser, cardboard is placed on every pallet, a fully automated process that optimises the working process.
Furthermore, the machine is equipped with a dust extraction system by suction, in a closed circuit, significantly improving the quality of air and the safety for the workforce. (mw)
