No Time Lost When Blending

Typically Blending can be a bottleneck. With in-line systems such as pneumatic conveying or close coupled mixing towers, a hold-up in one area affects the whole process chain.

With IBC Systems there is no waiting at the blending stage. The Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) are filled off-line and, as they also act as the blending vessel, they are loaded on and off the blender immediately.

As soon as one IBC is removed, the blender is ready to receive the next formulated container. No cleaning of the blender is required between batches or recipe changes.

Improve Manufacturing Efficiency

This is in stark contrast to fixed mixer systems which can take a few hours to fill the mixer and then several hours to empty as they are coupled to the packing lines.

With an IBC Powder Handling System, there is no need to create WIP/WIQ to overcome bottleneck issues.
