Recently, the Green Bay facility needed to build a tank farm for blending solutions used in their manufacturing process. They were considering putting in a number of large tanks and a blend room for blending the liquids. Nice Pak turned to Crane to help create a solution. Crane proposed blending the products “in line”. Crane’s solution would be to build a skid that would accurately blend up to four raw ingredients very accurately in line. Crane engineers designed a system that would pull one raw ingredient from a header and then the other three (which make up only a small percent of the total) would be pulled from totes or drums.
Crane’s unique solution resulted in Nice Pak using a fraction of the floor space required for blend room and the client’s capital cost was a fraction of the cost of a blend room. In addition to that Nice Pak can now quickly change to a different formulation and without having to deal with remaining product in the blend tank. |
