KECOL Pumping Systems ltd – design / manufacture Multi Pump BESPOKE SYSTEMS for transferring Highly Viscous Products from IBC units - for individual customer’s needs. Kecol’s success in the design and manufacture of bespoke systems for the Food, Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic manufacturing industries has encouraged customers to return with further orders and in many cases NEW business has been gained by satisfied customers discussing how they managed to overcome their particular production transfer problems - with colleagues from within their own manufacturing group. As today’s ingredient manufacturers look to reduce a major part of their costs for shipping 200 litre drums around the world, by introducing 1 Tonne bulk containers, Kecol have designed / supplied Square Followerplate systems for use with 1 Tonne Open Top Tomato Paste containers. The Kecol IBC Followerplate systems are up to 1200mm square, can have up to four (4) pumps fitted and wipes the inside of an aseptic bag of the Open Top Containers – giving the customer maximum return on their investments etc. . . Depending upon how fast your production requires an IBC to be emptied, Kecol can supply an IBC emptying system fitted with up to 4 pumps – which will then empty a typical 1 Tonne IBC in approx. 7 minutes or less whilst wiping the inside of the aseptic bag - providing approx. 97% - 98% product recovery. The final 2% – 3% is entrapped in the folds of the oversize aseptic bag usually used inside the IBC. Kecol have been made aware of this (IBC) Problem and have also design / developed a Pneumatic Bag Roller System – which provides the customer with the ultimate product recover – by squeezing the emptied aseptic bag through a roller system providing maximum product recovery.
