Indus & Gericke Win Innovation Award
At the recent Solids trade fair in Antwerp (November 2022), the team received the jury award for best innovation!
Gericke and Indus have engineered and designed a Big-Bag Pallet Unloader in collaboration for the Neva stackable pallet to ensure optimal unloading of all powders (including poor flowing materials) in your factory. At the recent Solids trade fair in Antwerp (November 2022), the team received the jury award for best innovation!
And that’s a key to today’s challenges: creating innovate products that are up to date with the latest industry requirements and trends can be difficult.
Gericke and Indus, both well respected companies in the industry saw a gap in the market and decided to invest time and money to help customers become more sustainable, flexible and work more efficiently within their factories.
The engineers at Gericke were excited to work alongside the Indus team to expand the market versatility of the Indus Neva pallet. These pallets are a practical design that offers a highly efficient method to reliably store, transport and discharge products from big bags.
The system is suitable for emptying big bags in tight spaces, for positioning big bags safely on the discharge station without a crane and when several big bags need to be stacked safely without having to use racks. Bulk materials with difficult flow properties require reliable discharge aids. The innovative unique design of the Gericke/Indus Big Bag Pallet Unloader is a modular based system which can be equipped with a combination of a vibrating motor, pneumatic under massagers and stretch system.
These different modular options are decided based on your product flowability. The more difficult the product the more modular options you would require. And another big asset is that these unloaders are suitable for low building height requirements from 2.6 meters and up.
These products have been engineered for safety and efficiency in mind and can comply with the latest hygienic requirements and certifications.
In the world of industrial packaging and logistics, big bags or FIBCs have long been an excellent choice for transporting and storing bulk goods. They offer significant cost advantages compared to traditional packaging materials like 25 kg bags and octabins.
Processing bulk goods is a challenge. Indus makes a completely new way of emptying big bags possible with our unloading stations.

Pallets form a large waste stream within logistics companies. Reducing the wood flow for these pallets is not only interesting because of sustainability but will soon become mandatory under European legislation.
In this article, we discuss the advantages of the unique big bag system over traditional pallet racking.
Indus will be present at SOLIDS in Dortmund 9-10 October 2024, to present the most innovative solution for storing, processing and transporting materials from big bags.
