If a granule is damaged during packaging, it loses its effectiveness. When Deltachem International BV started producing these specialized blends in 2013, the company looked for a partner who understood that bulk packaging requires precision. They found that partner in Bates, who supplied and installed a big bag filling machine at the time.
Thirteen years later, technical coordinator Guido Maes looks back on that decision with a broad smile. The machine still runs day in, day out, doing exactly what it was built to do.

And more importantly: how to avoid them? It sounds like the ideal solution, and it should be: a turnkey project for a new filling installation. The supplier handles everything, from the initial design to the first filled bag. However, in practice, this process doesn't always go as smoothly as expected.
At Bates, we know the pitfalls. More importantly, through years of experience in turnkey projects, we know how to avoid them, alongside our customers. In this article, we explain how we tackle this at Bates.

When a company invests in new machinery, one key question usually rises to the top: How quickly will we recoup our investment? For manufacturers working extensively with packaged goods, the filling machine is a critical component of the production line. After all, a reliable filling machine can make the difference between production issues and a profitable operation.
At Bates, we understand this better than anyone. With more than 110 years of experience, we design and build filling machines that combine speed, reliability, and durability. The result is a smoother production process and a clear boost in ROI.
