HAVER & BOECKER extends packing equipment life with rebuilds and upgrades

14 May 2025 CW Team

“Our engineers strive to continually advance packing technology. The high quality of our equipment means customers keep these machines for years, if not decades. While they might still be working, they don’t have the modernised features that are available today,” said Uwe Golkowski, head of machine rebuilds.

The Performance+ Kits allow customers to replace outdated assemblies with modern versions, such as the ROTO-LOCK® Performance+ Kit, which reduces dust emissions, spillage, and product loss. These upgrades can be integrated into various packing machines, including the ROTO-PACKER®, INTEGRA®, ELEMENTRA®, and ADAMS® Technology. HAVER & BOECKER offers over 121 different Performance+ Kits, including SEAL Technology, MEC 4.0, and drive technology.

For older equipment with obsolete parts, the company also offers Performance+ Rebuilds. These upgrades help meet current safety standards, reduce energy consumption, and improve operational output, thus extending the equipment’s life and boosting efficiency.

“One of the oldest pieces of equipment we’ve completed a rebuild on was 36 years old. The ROTO-PACKER® required updates to the packing silo, filling and dosing technology,” said Michael Gries, team leader for conversion at HAVER & BOECKER. “Our technicians diagnosed the issues and offered upgrades to the ROTO-LOCK® and ROTO-FEED®, resulting in improved air quality, better layer stability, and enhanced line performance.”

HAVER & BOECKER’s rebuilds and upgrades form part of the company’s PROcheck life-cycle approach, which includes an on-site audit known as the Plant Optimisation Plan. This plan evaluates the packing line’s performance and recommends improvements. The final report is delivered digitally, and the HAVER & BOECKER team works closely with the customer to implement the necessary changes.
