Chronos BTH delivers comprehensive flour bagging systems with innovative BlockTopTM bag closure
Chronos BTH’s special working partnership with leading Australasian milling specialists Weston Milling is going from strength to strength.
Chronos BTH’s special working partnership with leading Australasian milling specialists Weston Milling is going from strength to strength. Following extensive trials and two year technical collaboration, the first four machines out of eight CHRONO-BAG™ OML BF Series open-mouth bagging lines are now factory accepted and on their way to Weston’s flour mills in Sydney, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand.
Weston Milling have a strong reputation and tradition of quality. The company is committed to be the leading cereal conversion business in Australasia by fulfilling customers’ needs through the supply of reliable, high quality products and services. The company engenders the same ideology for flour milling, which has proved successful for thousands of years.
The extensive project has gone beyond the bagging lines to encompass a complete redesign of Weston’s bag styles and types. Joint collaboration has also seen the evolution of Chronos BTH’s new and highly innovative BlockTop™ bag closing technique for flour and other food related industries.
Chronos BTH’s Sales Director Robbert van den Biggelaar has worked closely with Weston personnel throughout the project and is extremely positive about the partnership. “This has been a challenging, yet highly rewarding two way experience for our engineers and other team members. In parallel Paul Woosley and his team from our exclusive agent in the region, Australian Prime Fibre Pty Ltd. (APF), have played a pivotal role throughout the project. We are delighted to have met or exceeded all Weston’s criteria and their input to the project has been invaluable.”
The OML BF bagging system features highly effective, dust free ‘Bottom-up’ filling techniques. Chronos BTH have pioneered developments in this type of filling for dusty powdered products such as flour and this proprietary technique ensures high accuracy, whilst also bringing important reductions in bag costs. At this year’s INTERPACK from May 12th – 18th Chronos BTH has displayed one of the open-mouth bagging systems OML-1030 BF sold to Weston Milling.
