The Customer
Moorebank Aerosol Fillers PTY LTD is an Australian contract manufacturer involved in the filling and packaging of aerosol cans, focusing on aerosol filling of a range of materials and chemicals.
Customer Challenge
Moorebank Aerosol Fillers were in need of an Explosion-Proof batching system, to replace outdated equipment. The client required a system capable of a range of functions, including:
- Batch up to 1,000 to 5,000 Litres
- Simple user interface 4 external easy to use buttons that allows factory staff to configure the instrument as well as easy to use for production personnel
- Supplied in an explosion-proof enclosure with IECEX and ATEX approvals
Product Solution
After already having two standard Innovec batching systems on site, Moorebank Aerosol Fillers turned to Innovec for a complete batching system. This system was to include a flow meter, hose reel and explosion-proof liquid batch controller, for the purpose of batching hydrocarbons.
As Innovec is one of Sydney's main local suppliers of explosion-proof batch controllers, the IBLEXD was correctly suggested for the client as it was the right tool for the job.
Results Achieved
The IBLEXD allowed a high efficiency of manufacturing and safety for Moorebank Aerosol Fillers, due to the simple user interface of the Innovec batching system.
With the IBLEXD and supplied system at Moorebank Aerosol Fillers running since 2017 without failure the client has been able produce goods at a high efficiency without disruption.
