CUSTOM MADE SOLUTIONS
The most suitable filling system is always determined in line with the client’s specifications and the type of product to be packaged, with the options of using filling by volume (Magnetic Flowmeters and Mechanical Dosing), weight (Mass Flowmeters) or level (Gravity, Vacuum and Level Control).
The product to be packaged is tested in the laboratory, where the most appropriate filling system is determined as well as the number of filling heads required.

To optimize the design of Antonio Mengibar S.A.’s systems and offer the maximum productivity and reliability, the following factors are taken into consideration when designing the equipment:
 |
With regard to the filling system: Viscosity (Tixotrophy, Rheology), Foaminess (Liquid + Air = Foam), Capillary Action (Density, Surface Tension) and Conductivity. |
|
With regard to the useful life of the machinery from mechanical processes: Abrasivity, Sedimentation. |
|
With regard to safety: Flammability (Flashpoint, Volatility, Pyrophoricity), Explosiveness. |
|
With regard to the useful life of the materials and the product itself from the effect of chemicals: Corrosivity. |
|
|
In certain cases, we also need additional information to help us choose some of the characteristics to bear in mind when it comes to determining what technology to use:
|
The level of innocuousness, asepsis, the sterility of the installation and the definition of the process itself for evaluation. |
|
Special care of waste, and its controlled disposal, if applicable. |
|
The level of precision required, and the procedure for verifying this. |
|
The heat conditions of the process. |
|
The level of electrical protection required. |
|
The level of specific personal protection. |
|
Determining the regulation, standard, law, etc. to which the equipment in general should be subjected. |
|
The client’s general specifications (lay-out, speed, maintenance). |
