Which of our machines can be found at the organic spice manufacturer Beltane in Swabia, Germany? And how did we deal with the notorious dustiness of ground cinnamon? Read about our machine TOBOGAN 250S, linear weighers RACKET LW4 and auger dosing device RACKET S.
Sometimes, people say that trust and shared values are the spice of successful collaboration. We greatly appreciate companies that put their trust in our tailor-made solutions. Likewise, we trust their goals and ideals. One such company is the German manufacturer of organic spices and seasoning blends, Beltane.
Beltane is a family business founded in 1994 in Krumbach, Germany, originally as a store focused on organic food. Over time, it specialized in producing high-quality organic seasoning blends and fix products that make it easier to prepare delicious dishes from fresh ingredients.
We first met at a trade fair in 2019, and since then, we have continued to develop our cooperation.
The entire range of dried spices, both whole and ground – from cinnamon, allspice, ground paprika, chilli, and crushed herbal blends to pepper or seasoning mixtures with added salt.
A unique feature of Beltane’s products is the special bag format with folded bottoms and mechanically "ironed" edges, with longitudinal seals on the side.
TOBOGAN 250S
A powerful and flexible vertical packaging machine, ideal for efficiently and hygienically packing food into various types of bags. Thanks to its robust design and modern technology, it achieves high production capacity with minimal downtime, optimizing the production process.
The machine supports a wide range of packaging materials and can be easily integrated into automated production lines. Reliable sealing ensures maximum freshness and an attractive product presentation.
TOBOGAN 250S is an ideal choice for food companies looking for functional and efficient packaging solutions with long service life and low operating costs.
Two types of dispensers are installed on the machine: a screw dispenser for ground and dusty products and a 4-lane linear weighers for small piece goods and herbs. The exchange between them is very quick and simple.
RACKET S
A highly precise and reliable auger dispenser designed for dosing finely ground and dusty products such as flour, spices, or protein powders. Its optimized auger shape ensures consistent doses with minimal variations.
RACKET LW4
Precise and highly accurate linear weighers designed for efficient and reliable weighing and dosing of bulk or piece products with minimal deviations. This reduces material waste and increases production efficiency. Thanks to its four weighing chutes, it handles high production speeds and can be easily adapted to the specific requirements of various products.
The machine also integrates a label applicator in combination with thermal transfer printing directly on the film, as well as a conveyor system for both product feeding and transporting filled bags away from the machine.
You love the smell of cinnamon, right? But it has one not-so-ideal characteristic — it loves to disperse into the air and settle everywhere. When packing such products, we frequently deal with dust issues. For example, dust must not enter the packaging seals to prevent their airtightness from being compromised.
Luckily, we know how to handle this. Exposed areas on our machines are covered and prepared for connection to a central extraction system in the production hall.
Beltane is already considering installing another similar setup, which makes us very happy. Before we send the new line off to faraway Swabia, our production hall in Vlašim will once again smell of spices for a while. And that’s something we definitely look forward to.
