Hanningfield have been designing and manufacturing contained material handling systems, including Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), for 30 years.
Hanningfield is able to offer a wide range of high quality IBCs for storage, transport, blending, mixing and process interfacing. IBCs are designed to handle a variety of different products, including powders, flakes, granules, pellets, capsules and tablets.
Materials handling systems are vital to the success of production processes in modern facilities. Correct design can have a significant impact upon efficiency and productivity, ultimately affecting profitability. Understanding the relationship between an IBC and the rest of the process is therefore extremely important.
Our expertise allows for simple integration with various other items of Hanningfield’s product range. Some common applications are outlined below:
Integration with Hoists
Often IBCs are used for storing or transporting product. However, the process of unloading an IBC, or moving it to an alternative location can often prove problematic. Hanningfield’s range of hoists can help overcome these problems by making the handling of IBCs more simple. One application is for the hoist to lift an IBC above another piece of equipment, allowing the outlet valve to be opened and transferring the product out of the IBC to a downstream process. Alternatively, the hoist can lift the IBC to an above floor, making processes more flexible and easier to manage.
Integration with Mills
IBCs can be positioned above a cone mill. The outlet valve on the IBC can then be opened to gravity feed the material from the IBC directly down through the cone mill.
Integration with Vacuum Conveyors
IBCs can be connected to vacuum conveyors to automatically empty the IBC, transferring the material to a downstream process machine.
