Task
Transfer various solvents from IBCs into canisters with a specified fill volume. Previously, the solvents were emptied manually via the IBC valve, which regularly resulted in overfilling or underfilling.
Requirements
- Maintain an exact, reproducible fill volume
- Safe handling of flammable solvents
- Automated filling process
- Use in hazardous areas (ATEX)
Solution in Detail
A semi-automatic ATEX filling system featuring an F 430 S Ex drum pump, a commutator motor, a flow meter, and FLUXTRONIC® controls the filling volume. The preset volume is dispensed at the push of a button, after which the system shuts off automatically.
