Progress and change in machine concepts 1995 – 2010

Looking fifteen years back, those were the characteristics of a typical packaging machine: The favored drive solution was a three-phase current drive, preferrably with frequency converter for speed adjustment. Drives were few, servo drives even fewer. The control usually came as PLC sequence control, and movements were carried out via cam discs, pneumatic actors, or one main shaft. The machines had keys and buttons for a very limited number of functions. If displays were incorporated at all, they could only indicate one line of plain text.

OPTIMA GROUP: Setting an example in environment protection

An important step in making the production of filling and packaging machines as ecologically friendly as possible: Optima Group completely changes over to power from renewable resources at both sites in Schwaebisch Hall. In the beginning of December, Hans Bühler (managing director) signed a contract with the municipal utility company of Schwaebisch Hall that guarantees direct power supply from a hydropower plant. Optima Group in Schwaebisch Hall with its approximately 950 employees has a consumption of about 2.7 million kilowatt hours, which can be compared to the consumption of 600 four-person households.
