VP Product Applications in Coatings

VP’s Pigging Systems can clean pipelines and recover residual materials within one minute, achieving a recovery rate of up to 99.9%. Especially suitable for fast color changes and material recovery in industrial coating pipelines, effectively preventing cross-contamination, meeting eco-clean requirements for waterborne coatings, improving efficiency, and reducing waste.

The DDU is designed to automatically and accurately decant materials from 200L drums or IBC totes into blending tanks under program control. The system includes: decanting gun with lifting mechanism, weighing platform, drum rollers, insulated cleaning oil tank, decanting pump, automated valves, monitoring instruments, and operator interface.

VP’s Automated Drum Decanting Unit offers multiple advantages: 1) Eliminates manual handling, reducing HSE risks; 2) Fully empties a 200L drum in under 2 minutes; 3) Accurate and automatic dosing; 4) Neat and leak-free operations, avoiding environmental pollution; 5) Automatic cleaning reduces waste and cross-contamination; 6) Minimizes on-site labor and exposure to hazardous vapors; 7) Integrates with MES for fully unmanned “dark factory” automation.
