60 years of the Roto-Packer~R

摘要

Haver & Boecker traces its history back to a wire weaving mill founded in Oelde, Germany, in 1887. In addition to woven wire cloth, it also produced wire bag closures that were used in the cement industry. In the 1920s Erich and Fritz Haver, the second generation of the company, recognised the potential of glued paper bags and so developed a row packing machine based on an American model. As cement plants became larger and larger, demand for faster and higher capacity packing machines also grew. In the late 1950s Rudolf Haver and designer Paul Schwake were contacted by Phoenix Cement in nearby Beckum. Schwake was a visionary, who combined the well-known idea of a rotating packing system, to that point primarily used with jute bags, together with Haver & Boecker's filling technology.
