Customer data

Company
Umicore Brugge

Robbe Industries NV is firm partner for ATEX drum filling installation

Robbe Industries NV is a regular and reliable partner of Umicore Specialty Materials NV from Bruges. They are counting on us to manage the replacement of the drum filling machine. 

The new filling equipment will be located in an ATEX zone and will automatically fill the drums with different types of resins and hydrocarbon. 

The filling machine consists of a filling column with automatic dosing valve. Below the filling station, a section of the non-motorized roller conveyor is weighted. Accurate filling by weight begins when the lance is inside the barrel. An operator closes the barrel afterwards. 

The filling machine is metrologically calibrated and the filled drums can be taken directly into economic use (legal-for-trade). A Siemens PLC with a SIWAREX weighing module is responsible for the control. 

In view of the explosive atmosphere, the entire system is designed in accordance with the ATEX directive.
