Liquid Processing and Packaging
Liquid Processing Systems
National Bulk Equipment liquid processing systems are designed, engineered, and manufactured by NBE to bring optimal effectiveness to processing operations handling bulk liquids. From slurry and solution systems to process tanks and modular skid systems, NBE considers the fullstream effect of each system we provide to ensure the integration of NBE liquid processing systems will deliver optimal contribution to total process availability. NBE engineered-to-application project delivery enables project owners, AECs, and EPCs to advance the performance of their upstream, midstream, and downstream liquid processing projects.
Slurry & Solution
NBE slurry processing and handling systems, and solution processing and handling systems are designed, engineered, and manufactured by NBE to provide optimal fullstream performance. From upstream dry solids supply, discharge, and dust control, to midstream ingredient metering and feeding, to downstream storage or packaging, NBE slurry or solution projects ensure reliable, repeatable production while reducing material waste and energy consumption. NBE attention to clean design and the integration of clean-in-place systems, improves process availability and operator-equipment interactions.
Tanks
NBE bulk liquid handling tanks are engineered-to-application. Regardless of the application; reaction tanks, melting tanks, blending tanks, holding tanks, or other process tanks, NBE designs, engineers, and builds each tank to its particular specifications for construction and in-use performance. Whether a standalone holding tank for batch processing, or multiple mixing and process tanks integrated to a modular skid, NBE engineers from a fullstream perspective. The NBE fullstream advantage ensures comprehensive process improvement.
Skids
NBE modular process skid systems bring to legacy processing operations the performance and project delivery advantages of new or expanded process functions, without the time, costs, and complexity of conventional new construction. For applications requiring inline integration, NBE designs, engineers, and manufactures continuous mixing systems that ensure exceptional process accuracy and versatility. For batching applications, NBE skid systems provide complete operation, from raw material input and processing to finished product storage and packaging.
Liquid Packaging Systems
National Bulk Equipment liquid packaging systems enable processing and packaging operations handling bulk liquids to run at, or above designed uptime, rate, and yield targets when filling drums, IBC totes, and pails. Performance-proven construction ensures NBE liquid filling systems are built to handle extended duty cycles and endure harsh process environments. NBE engineered-to-application liquid filling systems provide total process advantages by outputting accurately filled containers, while reducing product loss, and improving labor safety and efficiency.
Drum and Tote Filling
National Bulk Equipment intermediate bulk container (IBC) filling systems bring increased finished-package throughput and improved operator-equipment interaction to bulk liquid packaging operations filling drums, totes, and other IBCs. NBE engineered-to-application IBC filling systems ensure optimal fill rates and exceptional fill accuracy, regardless of challenging product viscosities, foaming, temperature, or solids concentration. The NBE diving-nozzle lance design, guided by triangulating sensors, lance-centering indicator lights, and a nozzle-view camera, increases operator efficiency and process performance.
Pail Filling
NBE pail filling systems are engineered-to-application; whether the project is a fullstream integration including upstream liquid supply, container de-nesting, filling, sealing, and downstream package palletizing, or a standalone pail filling and sealing system. The diving-nozzle design of NBE pail filling systems enables fast and accurate filling of difficult liquids. Regardless of foaming, viscosity, solids concentration, or temperature, NBE pail filling systems are designed to reduce product loss and package cycle times. The dual-head design of NBE pail fillers provides increased package throughput and line performance.
Packaged Product Reclaim and Recovery
National Bulk Equipment product reclaim and recovery systems provide automated and controlled removal and recovery of dry or wet contents from packaging. Off-spec, mislabeled, over-run, or otherwise unsalable product is recovered for possible re-use or resale. Recovered packaging is collected for proper recycling or disposal. NBE product reclaim and recovery systems enable processing and production operations to eliminate or reduce material loss, improve sustainability performance metrics, and protect product and company brand perception.
NBE engineered-to-application project delivery ensures process-specific expertise in design, automation, and integration guides the development of the project requirements and scope. A single sequence of package infeed, package opening, package and contents separation, and material collection simplifies the safe and effective reclamation and recovery of product and package.
Packaged Product Reclaim
NBE reclaim systems for the recovery of packaged-liquid product and its packaging material provide brand owners and contract packagers a safe, controlled, and sanitary process for reducing product loss and packaging waste from unsalable packaged liquids. The NBE engineered-to-application project execution process assesses the full recovery sequence, including liquid flow properties and package recyclability, to ensure optimal recovery process effectiveness.
