The content of bigbags can be transferred to another storage via bigbag unloading stations, in a secure and ergonomical way. There are numerous possibilities, like unloading bigbags and putting in trucks or a silo. Moreover, the content of the bigbags can be put into smaller mixing silos too.

In case of rewrapping or repackaging, the content of the bigbags can be transferred to a bag filling installation. Read here more about bag filling installations.

Retrofit filling line for IBC

For an important chemical player, Robbe Industries SA has given a second life to an old filling line.

Most of the mechanical components of this filling line were still in a good condition. However, the weighing part was not reliable anymore. Moreover, the electrical controller was not up-to-date anymore. In case of a failure or breakdown, it would be very difficult to repair the filling line.

The customer was looking for a partner who could assure that he could keep producing in a realiable way and with a limited budget. That’s why they contacted Robbe Industries SA!

Together with the customer, we tried to find out how we could realize this project as efficient as possible. Therefore, we decided to renew largely the controller by means of Siemens PLC.

Moreover, we designed a new weighing non-driven roller conveyor. This roller conveyor was customized in order to match with the current lay-out. It is fully designed in stainless steel and very robust.

Both the electrical and mechanical installation were executed by our people on site. By discussing everything in close cooperation with the customer and by taking every detail into account, the installation could smoothly be developed. As a matter of fact, the customer saved a lot of precious time.

Finally, the filling line was calibrated in-house as an OIML R61 dispensing machine by Robbe Industries. Therefore, all IBCs are ready to use and can be used in commercial traffic.
