The challenge
Combining efficiency and ergonomics
Biobest aimed to create a more efficient and ergonomic packaging process without compromising on hygiene. In the previous setup, the working posture was not ideal, and the logistics between stations could be more streamlined.
Together with a strategic consultancy firm, Biobest conducted a capacity analysis and created a draft of the ideal process. Based on this design, Multitube was brought in to develop solutions for the pre-processing and packaging process.
Key focus areas included:
- A hygienic and robust working environment
- Een ergonomisch verantwoorde werkhouding
- Een soepele doorstroming van bakken tussen prepak en pakstations
- Aansluiting op bestaande (en toekomstige) gemechaniseerde oplossingen
The solution
Custom adjustable packing tables and roller conveyors tailored to Biobest's process
Multitube supplied electrically adjustable packing tables with stainless steel tops. The stainless steel work surface ensures the tables remain hygienic and easy to clean which is essential in an environment dealing with live organisms and plastic containers. The tables can be adjusted electrically in height, allowing each employee to work at an optimal height. This promotes an ergonomic working posture and boosts both comfort and productivity.
To streamline and speed up the flow of containers from pre-pack to the packing station, a roller conveyor was implemented. This creates an efficient link between the different workstations.
Multitube worked closely with Biobest’s consultancy partner and adapted the design to align with the mechanized components of the process. Delivery was even completed ahead of schedule, in close coordination with the partner, to accelerate the implementation phase.

The partner for a custom project
For Biobest, it was essential to work with a partner who not only thinks along, but also delivers truly customized solutions that seamlessly integrate with the mechanized process. Multitube translated the consultancy firm’s concept into practical and technical reality, providing tailor-made workstations and logistical solutions.
Thanks to short communication lines, flexibility, and technical expertise, the project was completed ahead of schedule and fully according to specification.
