Best Practice A sealant manufacturer didn't just want to rely on extremely precise weighing technology for their tank farm, they also needed a software solution for statistical process control. The result was both reliable weighing results and optimum productivity. "Connections that stand the test of time" isn't just a slogan that encapsulates Ramsauer GmbH & Co KG, it's also the company's philosophy. Ramsauer is the Austrian market leader for sealants, adhesives and PU foams, and they rely on Minebea Intec's expertise to deliver raw materials and check pre-packaging. Application After weighing the raw material tanks, dosing it into floor scales, mixing and filling, a sample check is carried out for the finished products. ■ Precision load cell PR6201/24D1 with MaxiFlexlock PR6001/..S ■ 4 lift up floor scales with frame for pit installation ■ SPC@Enterprise with 3 Combics 2 scales Customer benefits ■ Using extremely precise weighing technology combined with software for statistical process control ensures optimum productivity ■ Professional consultation during the engineering phase with clear demo equipment ■ Compact products, which are robust and easy to install and operate ■ Quality product with "German Quality" Founded in 1875 by Ferdinand Ramsauer, the company started producing silicon-based sealants in 1972 and manufacturing PU foam in 1976. They filed an in-house patent for 2-component systems in 1998, which cemented their reputation as an innovative company. Today, the business manufactures a wide range of high-quality sealants, industrial adhesives, PU foams and special products, selling them to clients around the world.

Project goal and implementation Ramsauer GmbH & Co KG planned and developed a tank farm with engineering firm WK-Tech, which consists of eight 50m3 stainless steel tanks, as an integral part of the production system. At the bottom end of the tank system, it’s possible to fill up Raw material from lorries is unloaded and distributed to the respective tanks, at the top end of the system, raw materials are dosed into the dedicated mixing tanks, based on a formula from the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. accuracy, and the marked hoses ensure that the conveyor lines never get mixed up in...
