With the popularity of sports nutrition products booming in South Africa and beyond, Globepak (PTY) Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the USN Group of Companies, needed to keep pace with growing demand. However, the intermediate bulk containers and rigid auger conveyors at the company's former 4,000 m2 (43,000 ft²) facility were unable to transfer mixtures from blenders to packaging machines at required rates. "They were starving the packaging lines," says Jose Da Costa, head of DC Weighing and Control (Germiston), the firm that engineered and built Globepak's new 14,000 m2 (150,700 ft²) plant.
To handle the volume, Da Costa specified the bulk bag dischargers and flexible screw conveyors, comprising the Flexicon system. In addition, DC Weighing designed, manufactured and supplied the electrical control systems and provided full integration and production start-up support. The DC Weighing team provided a full turn-key installation solution to Globepak, which included mechanical and electrical installation, along-with integration into the plant production system.
