The challenge
Kemira needed to fill aggressive acids into IBCs and to blend several components directly in the container, on the Øresund, in a humid and salty climate.
The solution
Line in production
An SP2 line in a U shape with 25 conveyor positions: twelve empty IBCs wait at the infeed, pass through the filler one by one, and wait full at the outfeed. Up to five components plus water are dosed into each IBC through a manifold of automatic valves, following blending recipes in the control system. The nozzle is titanium with PTFE seals and fills under the bunghole. The structure is carbon steel with a C6 epoxy coating, and the machine sits in a climate-controlled tent.
The result
One operator fills a full batch of twelve IBCs with no forklift on the floor until the batch is waiting at the outfeed. In service since 2019.
