Driessen United Blenders has the capacity and facilities for almost every type of packaging. Liquids from 50 ml up to 24,000 litres of bulk cargo, and powders from 100 grams of packaging up to 24,000 kg of silo cargo.

“Below level” filling system for dusty powders
Our “below level” filling line is specially designed for the trouble-free filling of hygroscopic, light and dusty powders in bags of 5 to 25 kilos.
