Best practices for customer applications

Precision solution for Europe’s most up to date water based paint factory

The paint industry 4.0 requires maximum dosing accuracy. In order to execute formulations to a high standard, ADLER-Lacke wanted the best possible readability for the weighing of its container tanks.

Because environmental protection plays an important role at ADLER, the Tyrol-based family-owned company planned to construct the most up-to-date water-based paint factory in Europe by means of the unique “pig dosing”. 50 stainless steel tanks had to be weighed to the highest degree of accuracy for this EUR 30 million project.

A high-resolution weighing solution for potentially explosive areas

After expanding its range of petrochemical products, SABIC found that the weighing system of its batching hoppers was not adequate for their increased production.

SABIC needed two distinct weighing solutions for new and existing batching hoppers placed in hazardous areas. Beside of ATEX certification, Minebea Intec provided high weighing resolution and also weighing data transfer to the safe area.
