A rare earth metals producer needed a safe and controlled way to process rejected powder that could generate a large amount of heat when exposed to oxygen.
The material still had value and could be returned to the refining process, but it first had to be transferred from an intermediate bulk container, or IBC, without allowing an uncontrolled reaction to begin.

Lot code, batch number, and date printed on bottom part of bag after passing by print head on bag closing conveyor
This lot code printer was put to the test in an animal feed and minerals packaging line. Multi-wall open mouth paper bags, filled with animal feed are sewn shut. Then, they pass in front of the lot code printer on a conveyor before robotic palletizing. As each bag passes the lot code printer, a lot code and date are printed on the bottom part of the bag. Each of these unique codes helps to identify the date when the batch of product was produced and packaged.

An Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) System is used to prepare a homogeneous dry blend of base polymers and additives before the extrusion phase in a plastic compounding process. Plastic compounding and toll processing companies first use an IBC system to create a lab formulation or test to confirm final product characteristics before creating a masterbatch. Once a final product has been confirmed, the same IBC system is used to create a larger batch or production run.

IBC is easily transported by forklift to other discharge stations
This type of set up using an Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) System is also known as a decoupled system because ingredients can be moved, mixed, and blended independently inside the IBCs.
