A major flavors company was looking to improve production capacity through automation. Operators had been pouring each product into totes in precisely measured portions. They either had to select product from one of numerous hoses piped to drums or walk to the inventory drum room to pour out the required product. The process was slow, inventory control was poor, batches were lost with operator mistakes, and the process was too expensive for the company to compete with others. This company required a high-cycle, fast-acting valve for their filling line upgrade. It wanted a valve that could last millions of cycles and quickly close to achieve tight tolerances on pours of various ingredients. Products & Services
