Pallet-Level Filling in Liquid Fertiliser Production

Situation

One plant uses many pack formats: 500 ml and 1 litre bottles, 5 and 20 litre containers, drums up to 30 litres and IBC tanks. The main line could not cover that whole range economically.

Stopping the line for small batches, then looking for a separate IBC solution, kept breaking the production plan. A second full line was too much investment for that workload.

• –Pack range from 500 ml to 30 litres
• –IBC filling needed its own solution
• –Stopping the main line for small batches was wasteful
• –A full line did not pay back at that volume

Solution

A compact SORM machine was installed beside the main line. On castors, it moves wherever the plant needs it, so different pack groups are served on the same day.

Filling happens at pallet level: heavy IBCs and drums are not carried to the line. Flow-meter dosing keeps the target volume whatever the pack size.

• ✓One machine from 500 ml to 30 litres
• ✓Pallet-level filling without heavy lifting
• ✓Mobile positioning for flexible use
• ✓Flow-meter accuracy

Result

One machine covered several jobs in the same plant: small bottles, containers and IBC shipments. The main line kept running, and small batches moved to a separate station.

The customer gained capacity and packaging flexibility without investing in a second line. The same setup suits detergent and olive oil at similar viscosity.
