Storage of Liquids and Solids

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.

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.

IFA Technology accompanies you throughout the entire process chain - from project planning and engineering to production and commissioning.
