In the USA there are other vehicle lengths and container dimensions to consider.

Extra-long freight containers in 53-foot dimensions are widespread in the USA and Canada and offer considerably more space than the 20, 30, 40-foot sea containers standardised in Germany, which can also be filled here without any problems and are suitable for European terminals and transhipment stations.

We set up and simulated a test with our granulate thrower in our halls for a customer from the USA. The 53’ container posed a challenge.

The aim is to fill a 53’ container evenly with granulate. The inliner has a total length of 16.2 metres and is to be inflated and then filled very quickly by our GWS 2000 granulate thrower. However, the known throwing distances are below the new targets.

The tests in our company are to determine how realistically the new requirements can be implemented.

Our company, SSB Wägetechnik GmbH—originally founded as SSB Steuerungsbau GbR (Lebrato & Partner)—was established on November 22, 1991.

This milestone is the perfect occasion to introduce our new SSB film.

We asked ourselves: Does a company specializing in control, bagging, and weighing technology need a corporate film? After 31 years, we decided: Yes, why not! We wanted to give our customers, suppliers, and partners a brief overview of who we are, what we do every day, and the values ​​and standards we uphold.

SSB – Your partner in large-scale industrial weighing technology.

SMS group GmbH approached SSB Wägetechnik GmbH with the following requirements: A solution was sought for the filling and weighing of high-quality metal powders, which are used, among other things, for further additive manufacturing in 3D printing. The solution: The BE 50 from SSB is a semi-automatic scale (gross scale) for filling metal powders into designated containers with insert bags. In accordance with the German calibration law and in compliance with the relevant safety standards, we have developed, manufactured, tested and documented a weighing system that meets the highest accuracy requirements.

Thus, the customer has received a suitable filling and weighing solution from SSB and can now fill the metal powder pure and clean into the suitable drums and store it temporarily.

The SMS group is a group of internationally active companies in plant and mechanical engineering for the steel and non-ferrous metals industry. The SMS group has produced a large number of components from plastic or metal using 3D printing. This innovative solution is not only significantly more cost-effective for plant operators, it enables fast and tool-free production as well as optimized design of individual components and prototypes. In additive manufacturing (AF) – or additive manufacturing (AM) – components are created using a 3D printer based on digital design data through a layer-by-layer material buildup. The materials currently used in the 3D printer are metals, special plastics and synthetic resins, and ceramics.

SSB Wägetechnik has been involved in bagging, weighing and control technology for over 30 years, implementing a wide variety of projects for different industries and customers and is an absolutely reliable partner to these requirements.

Intelligent robots perform a wide range of tasks in warehouse logistics and have been firmly established in this field for many years. In warehouse operations, for example, they are used for stacking, loading and unloading pallets, integrated into sorting systems, and transporting goods on conveyor lines. SSB Wägetechnik offers the fastest palletising robot in its class, featuring ultra-high-speed performance in bag and carton palletising applications.

• Our Ai1800 robot simplifies your palletising processes by palletising reliably and efficiently while ensuring products are packed safely and compactly for onward transportation.
• The Ai1800 achieves a maximum output of 1,200 bags per hour with a bag weight of 25 kg.
• In pallet handling applications, it can serve up to three production lines, eliminating the risk of palletising errors.
• Integrated software: an intuitive user interface allows layer patterns and pallet layouts to be created and modified independently. The system is self-learning, fast and flexible.
• Low energy consumption combined with a high load capacity, low noise emissions and environmentally friendly operation.
• Our in-house testing facility enables customers to trial their specific requirements and performance criteria in advance.
• Complete silo management line: bagging, weighing, filling, palletising, end-of-line packaging, wrapping and stretch wrapping.
• Optional equipment: infeed roller conveyor, bag press conveyor, pallet conveyor, pallet discharge station, safety systems, light curtain system, empty pallet magazine, pick-up station and full-pallet buffer conveyor.

Please do not hesitate to contact us. We will be pleased to provide comprehensive advice and tailor our solutions to your individual requirements.
