 3 Manual Formulation 8

How can I ensure precise formulation control and full traceability?

Your Challenge

Tight process control for consistency Process efficiency in complex set-ups Automatic & traceable documentation

Formulation management with tight pro-
cess control maximizes ingredient usage
and reduces waste. Ensuring tight control
at multiple workstations can be challenging.
Creating production orders, planning work-
flows and instructing operators is very time
consuming. When done more efficiently,
operators are freed up for more value add-
ed tasks.
A recipe management system that tracks
and traces raw material lots to each pro-
duction batch allows for a faster reaction
time to customer complaints.
 3 Manual Formulation 9

Manage Your Complexity

Our Solution

Depending on the complexity of your formulation and batch size, different types of
solutions are suitable. Step-by-step guidance for manual workflows help prevent
errors. Networked software solutions that deploy instructions to several worksta-
tions and automatically capture data provide efficient recipe management.

 4 Automatic Batching & Dosing
How can I optimize my batching and dosing process?
Your Challenge
Save production cost & reduce
downtime
Long batching sequences can be a bottle
neck in production. Optimizing speed and
timing of dosing steps ultimately leads to
higher throughput and better plant
utilization.
Optimize accuracy, speed & quality
Automatic dosing depends on the interplay
between scale, valves and material flow
properties. With the right solutions, finding
those sweet spots gets easier.
10
Flexible & easy system integration
Dosing systems are often part of a plant
wide automation system. Standardized in-
terfaces and protocols make integration
faster and reduce training effort.
 4 Automatic Batching & Dosing 11

Ensure higher yield with faster and more consistent batching

Our Solution

With a completely automated system, precise and fast dosing and sequencing of ma-
terials provides a reliable and robust production process. Diagnostic tools are re-
quired in order to ensure continuous uptime, minimize waste and improve accuracy.

 5 Container Filling 12

How can I ensure an accurate and efficient filling process?

Your Challenge

Optimize cost with precise filling Automated data collection Increased uptime from process control

Small overfills due to incorrect selection of
equipment or operator errors can add up.
Using the full functionality of your weighing
devices ensures accuracy and reduces
product waste.
Tracking of product and container data is
being requested from customers more fre-
quently. Automatic data transfer to central
databases creates process improvements
and more efficient recall management.
Many filling processes have very narrow
specifications with a high throughput.
Unnoticed equipment failure or improper
handling impact container levels and can
lead to customer complaints.
 5 Container Filling 13

Streamlined filling processes for every type of container

Our Solution

When filling intermediate bulk containers, totes, drums or big-bags you need fast,
precise and repeatable results. Our platform and floor scales provide highest preci-
sion and predictive maintenance for increased uptime and peak operational efficiency.

 6 Filling & Statistical Quality Control
How can I ensure precise and efficient filling of valuable materials?
Your Challenge
Save cost by reducing overfilling
Statistical quality control (SQC) for manual
net-content control assures that overfilling
is reduced to the absolute minimum. This
saves costs and reduces waste.
PTED
ACCE
Be compliant with net content
regulation
Net content laws mandate that every pack-
age contains the amount declared on the
label. SQC solutions ensure regulatory
compliance for filling.
14
Manage all quality parameters
efficiently
SQC solutions provide automated reporting
and allow immediate trend recognition.
Managers are alerted when process devia-
tions arise and quality parameters can be
efficiently monitored.
 6 Filling & Statistical Quality Control 15

 7 Scale Performance Verification
Need to maintain compliance and increase uptime?
Your Challenge
Achieve high uptime with
optimal maintenance efficiency
Scales in chemical production are often
subjected to rough treatment. Regular
equipment checks following recommended
procedures ensure maximum uptime at
minimal costs.
Optimize service intervals
with preventative maintenance
Preventive and predictive maintenance ac-
cording to manufacturers’ procedures ensure
efficient and consistent performance through-
out the life of your weighing equipment.
16
Maintain compliance and
be prepared for audits
ISO9001 standards and GMP regulations
require regular calibration and control of
measuring and monitoring devices.
Leverage world-class service to confidently
pass future audits.

 8 Ensured Safety in Ex Areas
How to ensure safety without compromising functionality?
Your Challenge
Accident-free workplace
safeguard all employees
Many chemical companies track accidents
with the goal of achieving a zero rate as
their number one priority. Safety designed
equipment is a first step towards this goal.
High functionality without
compromising safety
To facilitate safe and efficient weighing pro-
cesses, use scales that are approved by
IECEx, ATEX and FM standards and are
also highly functional. This allows your work-
stations to be safe, compliant and agile.
18
Comply with safety standards
at all your manufacturing sites
Safety guidelines and regulations are differ-
ent in each country. Choosing an approved
equipment supplier with global reach will
ensure easier compliance.
 8 Ensured Safety in Ex Areas 19
