Safety segregation
Storage and dosing areas can be physically separated
by a partition wall. Raw materials with different hazard
classifications or flash points can also be segregated
into dedicated compartments, simplifying compliance
with industrial safety requirements,
including ATEX where applicable.
Heated & refrigerated variants
For raw materials that are solid or highly viscous at room
temperature, heated racks with dual temperature control keep
the product fluid in storage and maintain the required temperature
through the valves and dosing line. Refrigerated versions can also
be provided for temperature-sensitive materials.
One Lot, One container
Each container can be sized to hold an entire incoming
raw-material lot, preventing different lots from being mixed.
This ensures full lot traceability, accurate real-time inventory
and ignificantly reduces the need to store partially used drums.
Continuous nitrogen blanketing also helps minimize oxidation
and external contamination.
Construction
Containers are manufactured from standard stainless-steel tubes,
optionally polished, and closed with welded dished ends fitted with
the required process connections. Diameter and length are selected
according to the required storage volume, keeping construction
simple and cost-effective.
Overview
The system is built from modular racks fitted with
horizontal raw-material containers made from
standard stainless-steel tubes in different
diameters and lengths. The dosing line runs
along the front of the rack, while the automatic
refilling system runs along the back.
Every Raw Material, Its Own Container
Modular Storage Racks
Capacity
A standard rack, 2.20 m wide and 2.20 m high, accommodates
around 40 containers with a 50 mm valve pitch — an ideal
configuration for manual dosing, with clear valve identification
and minimal risk of operator error. Staggered valves or two-level
arrangements can significantly increase capacity when required.
Individual containers can range from 10 litres to over 8,000 litres,
depending on the selected valve size and storage requirements.
Modular Mixing Room Layout
The number of raw-material containers can be adapted
to the required plant capacity. Multiple rack modules can
be installed side by side, with approximately 60 cm service
corridors where required for inspection and easy cleaning.
A partition wall can also separate the storage area from the
dosing area when additional safety segregation is needed.
Stacked Rack System
Two rack modules can be vertically stacked and can almost double
storage capacity without increasing the floor footprint.
The lower level is serviced from the floor, while the upper
level is accessed from an elevated platform.
This configuration requires approximately 4.5–5 m
of building height.
Transport & installation
Rack height and width are kept within 2.20 m, allowing complete
modules to be transported in standard road or sea freight containers
and installed in production rooms with ceilings below 3 m.
A 6 m rack length is particularly cost-effective,
as standard commercial tubes are commonly supplied
in 6 m lengths. Other lengths can be manufactured to suit
specific project requirements.
Racks can be delivered fully assembled, requiring only nitrogen
and external vent connections on site,
which allows installation to be completed within just a few days.
For standard container transport, raw-material vessels
can reach up to approximately 10 m in length and 1 m in diameter,
providing capacities of around 8,000 litres
