Dosing of chemical compounds in the production of silicones
Skid unit for storage and dosing of key chemical compounds in silicon production.
The medium is delivered in 1.000 l IBC containers and stored using a pallet truck. From there, it is automatically and gravitationally filled into a buffer tank with a capacity of 5,000 litres, while the level is continuously monitored by a radar sensor. Subsequent dosing of the medium is ensured by a robust gear pump with internal gearing and integrated safety valve.
