Advantages - All at a Glance

Dosing and Conveying in One Operation

With the LAB EU patent, bulk materials can be dosed easily and quickly.

In a single operation, the individual bulk materials are removed from the container without any outflow issues (such as bridging, chimney, or clumping formation) and simultaneously coarse and fine dosed.

The patented process technology eliminates the need for expensive investments in pressure locks and dosing screws, as well as their costly maintenance.
The bulk materials are extracted from the various extraction alternatives.

No Dust Development in the Vacuum System

Compared to pure pressure extraction, vacuum extraction prevents the escape of bulk material in the event of a leak.

The risk of dust formation or gas leakage is not possible.
In the event of leaks, only a loss of performance occurs.

Nearly Dust-Free with Big Bag

In the Big Bag extraction station, the Big Bag closure ensures an almost dust-free working atmosphere.

Completely Dust-Free with LAB Interchangeable Container and Silo

The LAB process technology, combined with the LAB Interchangeable container or silo, forms a completely closed system from extraction to production. This allows for completely dust-free operation.

Quick Extraction, Dosing, and Conveying

The LAB process technology can extract, weigh, and convey different formulations from different extraction stations within minutes.

Any further homogeneous slurry addition for continuous dosing in filters or other formulations in other industries can be retrieved from production within minutes.

While the mixing container homogenizes the first recipe, the LABOMAT can simultaneously extract and weigh the new recipe from the extraction stations.

Once the mixing container is emptied, it is ready for homogenizing the next recipe.

Other production lines can thus be supplied with individual formulations without any problems.

Distances of +/- 100 m

The extraction station can be set up +/- 100 meters away from the mixing container or production if necessary.

Height differences can also be managed.

A separation of work areas, as is common in the pharmaceutical industry, can be implemented.

Extraction stations can thus be set up in the “dirty area” such as the bulk material warehouse, the LABOMAT in the clean intermediate area, and the mixing container or the site-specific receiving device in the clinically clean production area.

10% Material Savings

The innovative LAB process technology saves 10% of materials:
– Complete emptying of the Big Bag, Interchangeable container, or silos using LAB vacuum technology.
– No transport losses due to packaging damage.
– Targeted mixing of the suspension or mixture, no losses.
– Dosing accuracies of +/-100g can be achieved.
– Absolute consumption control, direct regulation of over-/under-dosing.

Minimal CO2 Consumption in the Brewing Industry

In breweries, the supply of bulk materials to the mixing container usually has to be done with CO2.

The LAB process technology conveys the dry components, already weighed in the vacuum process, online (below the water surface) into a mixing container.

The CO2 consumption required for the conveying process is minimized and amounts to a fraction compared to complete pressure conveying from the bulk material containers.

The extraction and weighing of bulk materials take place in the vacuum process and do not require CO2.

Thus, complex CO2 monitoring systems in the premises are also unnecessary.

Automation in Production

Automatic extraction of bulk material controlled by production through the LAB software with downstream technology, such as mixers, filters, or other production equipment.

Automatic warehouse management adapted to production planning and order processing.

Consumption monitoring of individual bulk materials with detailed listings.

Display of over- or under-dosing and direct regulation.

Quality improvement through fully automated bulk material handling.

Environmental and Cost Benefits

68% CO2 cost savings and environmental reduction compared to conventional pressure conveying systems.

Due to the low-maintenance LAB process technology, high spare part costs for annual servicing are not expected.

Cost savings through 10% material reduction.

Workload Reduction for Employees

Compliance with workplace exposure limits (TRGS900) from the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health or the REACH Regulation (EC No. 1907/2006) of the European Parliament and Council.

During Big Bag, LAB interchangeable container, or silo extraction, dust exposure for your employees is eliminated.

Postural damage from carrying heavy sacks is eliminated with these extraction alternatives.
