Smooth production flow thanks to new double-discharge station

KEIL Anlagenbau has now manufactured two IBC double stations for Polymix, ordered by the world’s leading specialist company of components in vehicle interiors, Fehrer Automotive. They are already operating at the production site in Alabama, USA – owing to the approval and authorization for this market, KEIL Anlagenbau was able to conceptualize and implement this project according to the prevailing directives and standards.

Both stations have been designed to hold two transport containers á 1.000 liters each. The transport containers have been positioned onto a steel construction with an integrated collecting basin with a slight slope – for a particularly efficient discharge process. Screw pumps convey the product from the containers to the destination point. As soon as the first container is empty, the station switches automatically to the other container.

To keep the Polyols homogenous, an agitator with a supporting column has been installed in each container. This supporting column allows the foldable impeller to be lowered into the container. A frequency converter controls the speed of the agitator.

The entire discharge station is controlled via an internal switch cabinet according to the UL standards. The discharge pump, both agitators and the sensors run synchronous, and they are operated with ease by means of the installed control unit.
