It is these results that Premier Tech can deliver with a large equipment portfolio cultivating a flexible approach with a focus on customer needs, from cleaning & sorting to material handling and packaging passing through drying and bulk storage.
LATEST INNOVATION
In 2021, Bu¨hler & Premier Tech introduced their latest automated packaging solution, CHRONOS OML-1060. The solution is the first of many to be developed through the two companies’ bulk packaging equipment joint venture, created in September 2019.
The CHRONOS OML-1060 is a fully automatic packaging solution for the grain, food, pet food and feed processing industries with the same design and technology used in the companies’ existing solutions but is more affordable. Fully enclosed to ensure safety and limit operator interaction, without compromising accuracy or reliability but optimized for flexibility, quality, accuracy, and cost effectiveness, the packaging system has a compact operational footprint to optimize floorspace, operation and maintenance.
This first open-mouth bagger introduced by Premier Tech and Bu¨hler can manage 20 to 50kg bags at speeds up to 600 bags of any type per hour, including non-laminated poly-woven packages and most common bag closing systems.
“What is magical about this partnership for our customers is to benefit from Premier Tech’s technological know-how, Bu¨hler’s operational know-how, and unparalleled customer support from two organizations with a global footprint,” said André Noreau, chief executive officer of Premier Tech’s Systems and Automation business.
