Batch at the limit?!

Current situation of the process  capacity usage at the maximum  optimized processes  standardized formulations  limited capacities  concentration of production sites

Current economic situation  potential of increasing the productivity is limited  cost pressure  strong competition  limited capacities  and how can we assist?

Customer benefits continuous vs. batch  throughput increased by 25 %  cleaning time optimised  identical footprint  maintenance efforts minimised  time for maintenance reduced by 15%  substantial cost savings

Cost benefit – example

Our solution: continuous production of toothpaste

The process  Ingredients  Dosing  without pre-mixing  directly from stock to plant  fully automated  exact control  perfect, constant quality

The process  Wetting  De-aeration  Dispersing  revolutionary powder-wetting  less agglomeration  perfect particle size  perfect density

The process  Additives  Control  in every phase of production possible  highest flexibility  full automation  completely reproducible

The process  Quality con- trol  in-line measuring of viscosity, particle size, density, flow rate, pH-value, pressure and temperature  On-line quality control

 Storage and filling: The process  less storage before filling necessary

Continuous production meets your requirements  leading in technology  higher output at lower costs

 together with you we want to combine  products  processes  technology and  automation  to be one step ahead! Our intention
