15.12.25 | Reading time: 3 minutes
We provide two renowned training centres for the brewing trade with modern glue pumps for bottle labelling.
In this way, Timmer helps to ensure that aspiring brewers and master brewers learn how to use industrial pump technology in a practical manner.
What does a glue pump have to do with beer? More than you might think: when labelling beer bottles, it ensures that every bottle label sticks well. Bottling and packaging are part of the training and further education of prospective brewers and master brewers.
To enable them to learn the practical aspects of industrial labelling, we have provided two training centres for the brewing trade with a timGLUE® D4 glue pump each: the Ferdinand von Steinbeis School in Ulm and Doemens Academy near Munich.
How can industrial pump technology be taught in a practical manner?
"I had been thinking for some time about making our technology more visible in education and training," says our sales engineer Stefan Höhenberger. As a company, it is a matter close to our hearts to support the next generation with state-of-the-art technology.
From his own training experience, Stefan Höhenberger knows how formative this period can be:
"It is essential to work with state-of-the-art technology during training. Only then can future specialists make well-informed decisions and develop the best possible solutions to complex challenges."
This is exactly the impact he aims to create today:
"If young people gain hands-on experience with high-quality technology from the very beginning, they are ideally prepared to start their professional careers."
Just how well this works can be seen at the Ferdinand von Steinbeis School in Ulm, where future specialists in brewing and malting complete their school education.
Since the beginning of the year, we have been providing the Ulm training centre with one of our pumps. It is used regularly in the "Filling and Packaging" learning area.
"I thought I would just have a quick chat with the head of department – and suddenly I found myself standing in the middle of a class, surrounded by interested pupils, explaining the special features of our pump. It was immediately clear: this was a perfect fit." – Stefan Höhenberger, Sales Engineer, Timmer GmbH
This enables trainees to learn labelling in a targeted manner in practice.
Ulrich Hummel, senior technical teacher at Ferdinand von Steinbeis School, finds our timGLUE® D4 ideal for explaining modern industrial pumping technology to his students:
"In practical lessons, I use the glue pump to show trainees how mechanics, pneumatics and dosing technology work together. In doing so, I establish a connection to the properties of the corresponding labelling glue." – Ulrich Hummel, Senior Technical Teacher, Ferdinand von Steinbeis School
Our glue pump is used in lessons at the Doemens Academy near Munich to demonstrate the wide range of technical possibilities available on the market. As a stand-alone solution, it can be flexibly combined with all common labelling systems and thus easily integrated into existing systems.
timGLUE® D4: Hightech in the classroom
Schools use glue pumps from the timGLUE® D4 series, our latest generation of pump types. They were developed for highly viscous media such as glue, which must be conveyed evenly and without bubbles.
| timGLUE® D4: Advantages and added value
• Easy to use • Automatic switch-off of heating when not in use • Switch for operation without heating • If required: pumping without electricity • Easy cleaning • Pump priming without heating • Reliable glue temperature control even at low flow rates |
"Our glue pumps are typically used in industrial labelling systems in the food and beverage industry. They deliver the glue at exactly the right temperature and in precisely adjustable flow rate, ensuring that as little glue as possible is wasted." – Stefan Höhenberger, Sales Engineer, Timmer GmbH
The pupils find it fascinating to see the modern technology behind what appears to be a simple production step.
The pump is equipped with a digital display showing all the relevant information.
Why is the project beneficial for education and industry?
The cooperation with the training centres benefits everyone involved: "The schools get modern technology, the trainees get practical knowledge – and we as manufacturers benefit from the fact that young professionals get to know our products and understand what they can do," says Höhenberger.
Following the initial positive experiences, the project is to be expanded further. "There is genuine interest in integrating modern technology into teaching and building bridges between industry and education," says Höhenberger.
Senior teacher Ulrich Hummel is also convinced: "The better our students understand how technology works, the more confident they will be later on in practice. And that is ultimately the goal of any good education."
Conclusion:
Working together for the skilled workers of tomorrow
At Timmer, we are passionate about supporting the next generation of brewers with state-of-the-art technology.
The cooperation with renowned educational institutions such as the Ferdinand von Steinbeis School and the Doemens Academy is a win-win situation for all sides: the schools receive state-of-the-art technology, the trainees gain practical knowledge, and we are delighted that future experts are getting to know our quality products at an early stage. This is our contribution to building bridges between industry and education and ensuring high standards in the brewing trade.
