acrylic resin - Jumbo Bag packing system

Established in 1909, Rohm & Haas manufacture speciality chemicals used throughout the construction and retail industries.

Webster Griffin were selected to manufacture a turn-key IBC filling and packaging system for acrylic resin powder, an impact modifier used in the manufacture of high quality extruded plastic profiles.

This project presented Webster Griffin with several difficulties, the product although non-corrosive, was combustible and deemed to be capable of causing an explosion caused by ignited dust. This fine white powder is free flowing and becomes aerated when handled or poured into bags, therefore, powder densification and special bag handling techniques were required.

Webster Griffin's eventual scope on this project included an integrated product settling hopper and two stage product dosing valves above the filling machine, an automatic empty pallet infeed system, with pallet magazine, automatic slip sheet applicator, bag filling and product consolidation station, check weighing station and accumulating conveyors for filled bags and the operator's platform.
