IFA TECHNOLOGY GMBH - Wiegen, Mischen, Dosieren

Liquids (for instance raw materials or end products) are stored in canisters, drums, IBC containers or storage tanks. Solids and bulk materials, on the other hand, are stored in bags, big bags, silos or various special containers. IFA Technology offers sound and safe handling for the storage of liquids, solids and bulk materials as well as suitable storage containers such as customised shelves, tank farms or silo systems. We check and control among other things the compatibility of the substances, the effect of environmental influences as well as the conformity with legal requirements. We ensure compliance with various regulations such as the German Water Resources Act (WHG) or Explosive Atmospheres Directive (ATEX) by means of temperature-controlled storage tanks and the blanketing of the relevant substances by means of nitrogen, dry air or gas displacement systems or their circulation via agitators or circulation.

At IFA Technology we use all types of pumps available on the market for conveying liquids. We consider all necessary requirements for the safe and reliable conveyance of your products. Solids can be conveyed mechanically, pneumatically and hydraulically. For mechanical conveying, screws, conveyor belts, elevators, vibratory troughs or tube chain conveyors are used. Pneumatic conveying is mainly applied in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries as well as for conveying granulates in plastics processing and the food industry. The pneumatic conveyance process is carried out by suction and compressed air, i.e. by vacuum or positive pressure, and is mainly used when sensitive substances are transported. Heavy substances such as cement, sand or gravel are mainly transported by positive pressure.

The weighing of liquids and solids is always implemented by IFA Technology according to your requirements - with load cells and evaluation devices from all the well-known suppliers. Liquid and solid substances can be weighed in their own storage containers, such as drums, containers, silos or tanks, but also in mixing tanks, storage containers or other containers. High-precision weight measurement makes it possible to weigh the components within the desired tolerances directly in the container or to measure them by loss-in-weight, and as a result achieve gravimetric dosing. As an alternative to gravimetric dosing, we use volumetric dosing of solids or liquids, depending on the requirements of the substances and processes. For volumetric dosing, we use the methods customary on the market, such as Coriolis mass flow measurement, magnetic-inductive flow measurement, ultrasonic measurement and counter measurement as well as belt scale measurement or impact scale measurement.

In order to meet your requirements when mixing liquid and solid substances, our plants and systems enable the mixing of combinations in virtually any state of aggregation. IFA Technology is your competent partner for the right process - no matter if you want to mix liquids with liquids, solids with solids or liquids with solids or gases. We develop a wide range of applications for the production of the respective product - whether homogeneous or heterogeneous mixtures, suspensions, temporary liquid-liquid dispersions, emulsions using lipophilic and hydrophilic liquids or the mixing of bulk materials such as powders, granulates or flakes.

As a specialist company according to the German Water Resources Act (WHG), IFA Technology offers expert planning and consulting for the storage of liquids or bulk materials. In the area of so-called LAU plants and systems (plants and systems for storage, filling and handling), our product range includes tank farms and silo systems which, depending on the requirements, consist of mild steel, stainless steel, plastic and GRP tanks. To meet the legal requirements, LAU plants and systems from IFA Technology can be supplied specially coated (HALAR, Teflon, etc.), varnished or painted.

IFA Technology offers you suitable systems for filling and/or emptying tank trucks - both for dry bulk materials and for liquids. For this purpose, screw conveyors, pneumatic conveying systems or pumps are for instance used. We consider your individual requirements and build customised tank filling systems and tank emptying systems for you. We develop holistic solutions that are tailored to your requirements and can be integrated into the control of your production process with the appropriate sensor technology. This enables optimum functionality and operating safety.

The range of IBC container filling systems and IBC container emptying systems from IFA Technology is versatile and ranges from small individual stations to large shelves offering space for several IBC containers. We consider your individual requirements and build customised IBC container filling stations and IBC container emptying stations for you. Our systems enable, for instance, automatic emptying and switching over of containers or the recording of filling levels. For this we consider the requirements of the German Water Resources Act (WHG) and the ATEX directive of the European Union.

Different stirring elements and agitator speeds possible, adapted to your application, product density, viscosity and solid content Lockable IBC fastening crossbeam for IBC containers 400 to 2,500 litre capacity, with forklift truck adapter Addition of liquids under stirring possible, by connection nozzle at the IBC mounting crossbar Material: stainless steel 304 / 316Ti (product contacted parts) Geared motors in various power ratings optional with speed adjustment via attached frequency converter On/Off switch with motor protection and CEE plug with low voltage release FIELD OF APPLICATIONS

We consider your individual requirements and build customised drum filling stations and drum emptying stations for you. Our portfolio comprises drum filling stations and drum emptying stations for various drum types. It ranges from manual to fully automated stations - depending on the system requirements. For this we consider the requirements of the German Water Resources Act (WHG) and the ATEX directive of the European Union. Thanks to the latest technology, IFA Technology filling stations are suitable for drums of different sizes and can be adapted for individual use.

We consider your individual requirements and build customised big bag stations for you. Our big bag stations are characterised by particularly user-friendly handling. In order to minimise dust and dirt, the docking system from IFA Technology makes it possible to fill or empty the big bags virtually dust-free. The integrated controller guarantees accurate and calibratable bagging of solids and bottling of liquids. We design big bag filling stations or big bag emptying stations according to your requirements and offer you manual or fully automated stations.
