Discover the very latest technology in packaging and processing machinery for the construction and building materials sector at the PPMA Total Show

Taking place over three days, the Processing and Packaging Machinery Trade Show is an essential event for professionals in the building materials sector. Exhibitors, experts, and professionals from every sector represented at PPMA Total Show help visitors explore developments and opportunities relevant to their businesses. For the construction and building sectors, that includes packaging and handling solutions for materials of all shapes, sizes, and weights.

Packaging building materials comes with a skip full of challenges. Building materials cover a huge range of products varying by:

• Size – from a small pack of screws to concrete posts and steel reinforcing bars 
• Shape – from neatly stackable bricks to irregular items like sanitary ware and joinery
• Weight – from easy-to-handle items to products which need lifting gear 
• Form – from loose sand, cement, and gravel through to solid bricks, blocks, and wood
• Fragility – even heavy items like ceramic tiles and flagstones can be easily damaged 

The PPMA Total Show is an essential event for exploring machinery options for packaging, handling, and storing building materials. You’ll see the latest technology for strapping, wrapping, and hooding in strong stretch film. Other topics to explore are bagging that's strong enough to deal with heavy materials and that won't tear or split. Palletising too is a key function of handling building materials, and safety always remains a key consideration.
