The challenge
Nalco Water needed to fill aggressive water-treatment chemicals into drums and IBCs while keeping the operator away from the filling area, as its safety procedures require.
The solution
An SP25 in AISI 304L with a titanium nozzle, enclosed by a safety fence. From outside the fence, the operator positions the nozzle over the bunghole with a joystick; the machine records the position, places the nozzle and fills automatically. The fence lets the operator see everything inside, and the machine stops if the door opens. After filling, the operator goes in and closes the drum or IBC with the manual capping tools.
The result
60 drums or 10 IBCs an hour, with the operator outside the filling area throughout the cycle.
