Story
Since 1955, Bioplant has specialized in ready-to-use, MAPA-registered plant substrates, serving nurseries, landscapers, and gardeners throughout Brazil. Facing the challenge of a slow, outdated line limited to 10 bags per minute and mounting labor costs, Bioplant saw an opportunity: bring state-of-the-art automation into their factory.
The installation of the CHRONOS FSH Series FFS bagger marked a transformative leap. Production capacity tripled to 30 bags per minute, unlocking a 200% boost in efficiency and dropping labor requirements by almost 60%. The new system’s HMI is exceptionally user-friendly, safety features are robust, and maintenance is minimal—giving operators confidence and freeing up resources.
Critically, the volume-based bagging precisely matches Bioplant’s market needs, offering perfect accuracy where product is sold by volume, not weight. Flexibility is also now built in, with the system adapting quickly to different package sizes and providing inventory control that keeps the plant nimble and responsive.
Thanks to Premier Tech, Bioplant’s management model has evolved, making them more competitive and proud to operate some of the best packaging technology in the business. The solution truly exceeded every expectation.
“We were impressed by all the support we received from the Premier Tech staff, both here in Brazil and in Canada. They were genuinely committed to making sure the installation went smoothly, giving us all the help and support we needed.”
