Safely decanting metalworking oils from stacked IBCs

Metalworking oil and mineral oils are transferred from stacked IBCs into various containers. Since access from above is not possible, the oil is drawn off via the bottom outlet using a dry-mounted drum pump.

Solution
F 430 TR drum pump, F 457 commutator motor, flow meter, FLUXTRONIC® evaluation electronics, switching amplifier

Task

Filling of metalworking oil and mineral oils from stacked IBCs into 10-, 20-, and 60-liter canisters as well as 200-liter drums. Since the IBCs are stacked on top of one another, access from above is not possible—the oil is dispensed exclusively through the bottom outlet.

Requirements
  • Filling via bottom outlet  
  • Use without top access  
  • Handles flexible container sizes  
  • Reproducible filling volumes 
Solution in Detail

The F 430 TR drum pump, installed in a dry-setup configuration, is mounted on the bottom outlet. In combination with a flow meter, FLUXTRONIC®, and a switching amplifier, preselectable, automated filling is performed at the push of a button.

Result

Filling is possible via the bottom outlet even if there is no top access

Consistent volumes through preset filling

Automatic start and stop reduce the effort required to operate the system

Flexible filling of various container sizes

Safe Process Control for Stacked IBC Systems
