Container Systems contain the handling of bulk solids using containers (IBC’s). The IBC transport within the system can be implemented according to specific requirements by forklift, powered roller-tracks, automated guided vehicle or stacker cranes.
Container systems include the following processes:
- Storage – dosing of raw materials (small components)
- Filling – weighing of raw materials into batch-containers
- Mixing/blending inside the container (gravity blender, container blender)
- Loading and intermediate storage of metered batches in containers
- Container discharge into packaging machines
SPECIAL ADVANTAGES

- Easy cleaning of containers
- Optional fast disassembly features of discharge and dosing equipment (dosing screw conveyors etc.) for quick cleaning
- Optional design for the foods-, animal feed-, chemical- & plastics-industries
- Optional dust explosion rated design (ATEX)
