A significant milestone for VEMAG: The company is strategically advancing its growth with the construction of a new production hall. The 4,600-square-metre facility represents a substantial investment in VEMAG’s future, further reinforcing its ongoing success.
The new hall will be dedicated to the manufacturing of double screws and infeed scrolls for vacuum filling machines.
Innovation in Vacuum Filling Technology
Double screws, which are central components of vacuum filling machines, gently transport flowable products using the double-spindle principle. The entire feeding system consists of only two parts: the double screw and the double screw housing. Thanks to a quick changeover system, which can be performed by operators, production can switch to a new product in the shortest possible time. The minimal number of parts simplifies intermediate cleaning, significantly reducing downtime.
The impact of new materials and improved geometries on key product features of the vacuum filling machines is evident throughout the system, from the hopper to the outlet:
- Optimal hygiene thanks to the first-in-first-out principle
- Quick and easy maintenance
- Maximum weight accuracy of end products
- High output rates
- Low maintenance costs
Commitment to Innovation and Growth
The groundbreaking ceremony for the new production hall was celebrated by VEMAG’s management, alongside the mayor and representatives of the press. In his speech, CEO Andreas Bruns highlighted the significance of this investment:
“The groundbreaking ceremony for the new hall confirms our commitment to putting the customer at the centre of everything we do. By expanding our capacities, we will be able to drive innovation even faster in the future and take our already outstanding values in weight accuracy, gentle product handling, and the durability of our double screws to a new level.”
Production Manager Jonas Hohls added:
“The entire production process will take place in the new building, from the storage of base materials to innovative production solutions and packaging. This approach will minimise distances and optimise efficiency.”
The building is scheduled for completion in 2026, just one year after the groundbreaking ceremony. Designed with future-proofing in mind, it will lay the foundation for continued strong growth in the coming years.
The investment in the new hall amounts to approximately €7.5 million. Additionally, further funds are being allocated to state-of-the-art machinery and equipment. These investments form a crucial part of VEMAG’s ongoing efforts to enhance production efficiency, thereby increasing its competitiveness and capacity for innovation.
The relocation of the double screw and infeed scroll production from the existing hall will also create additional space for the expansion of other production areas. This move supports VEMAG’s long-term development strategy, allowing for the production of more innovative machines and attachments in the future.
