VarioFlow™ modular conveyor systems from Bosch Rexroth make packaging
flow management more adaptable, more versatile, and more affordable than other
conveyor technologies.
Key to VarioFlow’s success in enhancing packaging flow is its core design
concept of Adaptive Modularity™--built-in flexibility that lets users adapt
simply and economically to a wide variety of packaging environments as
needs change. VarioFlow’s innovative engineering also lowers up-front
investment and total cost of ownership. The latest conveyor technology
from Bosch Rexroth, VarioFlowTM offers chain widths of 65, 80, 90, 100, 160,
240 and 320 millimeters. Many different chain styles and even new stainless
steel options for applications with stringent hygiene requirements give users
numerous options to create the best system for their needs.
Fully compatible with the extensive Rexroth modular aluminum profile system,

New ValueBriefing Service helps users optimize packaging flow
To help end users optimize their packaging operations, Rexroth has introduced a
new evaluation service called the VarioFlow ValueBriefing. Beyond simple
consulting, the ValueBriefing steps packaging flow engineers through a detailed
discovery process to identify bottlenecks and to recommend improvements based
on the deployment of modular conveyor systems. A ValueBriefing prospectus
can be downloaded at www.boschrexroth-us.com/varioflow; the ValueBriefing
itself is free to companies seeking to improve their packaging operations with
conveyors.
