This is a very broad sector: from inorganic chemistry (acids, bases, fertilizers) and petrochemicals/polymers, through specialty chemicals (paints, coatings, adhesives, additives), to detergents and household chemicals.
The common denominators are:
- recipe-based production (powders and liquids)
- high sensitivity to raw material quality
- strong focus on process and environmental safety.
Key Specification
Typical Operations and Process Units
- Raw material reception and storage: silos for powders, tanks for liquids, unloading of tank trucks/railcars, vapor recovery
- Dosing and weighing: macro/micro systems for solid and liquid components; high accuracy and batch repeatability
- Mixing and dispersing: mixers (anchor / turbine / high-speed), optional wet milling (e.g., pigment pastes)
- Internal transport: mechanical (belt, bucket, screw) and pneumatic conveying for powders; pipelines with pumps and in-line filtration for liquids
- Conditioning and separation: filtration, degassing, drying, cooling
- Packaging and dispatch: bags / Big-Bags for powders; drums / IBCs / bulk loading for liquids; checkweighers, palletizing
- Dedusting and process ventilation: local/central filters, control of dust and VOC emissions
Design Requirements
- Process safety: ATEX zones (dusts/vapors), LEL detection, grounding, interlocks; system tightness and sealed transfer points
- Construction materials: corrosion resistance (acids / bases / solvents), wear-resistant linings for abrasive powders
- Quality and traceability: recipe management, batch tracking, batch reports; control of viscosity / pH / conductivity (liquids) and particle size / moisture (powders)
- Maintenance and cleaning: service access, CIP/COP for liquids, minimizing retention points, short changeover times
Wakro’s Areas of Specialization
- raw material and finished product storage: silos, tanks, unloading stations, vapor recovery
- powder and liquid dosing/weighing systems, Big-Bag and bagging stations
- mixing and dispersing units, process pipelines with filtration
- powder transport (mechanical / pneumatic) and liquid handling, integration with existing synthesis units
- packaging: bags / Big-Bags (powders), drums / IBCs / bulk (liquids)
- dedusting and ventilation, LEL detection
- automation: PLC/HMI/SCADA, recipes, batch tracking, integration with DCS/MES
