In the highly competitive lubricant contract manufacturing industry, production equipment directly determines a company’s ability to secure high-end orders. Recently, BJVP successfully delivered an integrated solution including a DDU decanting system, manifold system, and pigging system for Shandong Haoming Lubricants, enabling a major step forward in its industrial upgrade.
Project Background
Founded in 2012, Shandong Haoming Lubricants Co., Ltd. is a professional lubricant manufacturer located in Dongying, China. The company integrates R&D, production, sales, large-scale storage, and fast logistics, forming a comprehensive lubricant production base.
To meet OEM requirements for global brands such as ExxonMobil, Castrol, and Shell, Haoming upgraded its fluid transfer system, pipeline cleaning system, and additive dosing process, achieving higher efficiency, stability, and precision.
Customer Challenges
- Complex pipeline layout with high space occupancy and maintenance cost;
- No pigging capability, leading to product residue and cross-contamination;
- Manual additive dosing with insufficient accuracy affecting product consistency;
- Limited capacity and process capability restricting high-end order intake.
Solution: Pigging + Manifold + DDU System
BJVP provided a customized integrated solution combining a pigging system, manifold system, and DDU (Drum Decanting Unit), significantly improving fluid handling efficiency, pipeline cleanliness, and dosing accuracy.
The BJVP Pigging System uses compressed air or cleaning media to drive a pig through the pipeline, effectively removing and recovering residual product. It ensures near-zero residue, prevents cross-contamination, and improves product quality and batch consistency.
The BJVP Manifold System features a matrix design that significantly reduces pipeline quantity and space requirements. It supports flexible routing (one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, many-to-many), optimizing process flow, improving efficiency, and maximizing ROI.
The BJVP DDU System automatically extracts additives from 200L drums or IBC tanks with high precision and transfers them into blending tanks. This fully automated process replaces manual operation and ensures accurate dosing for high-end lubricant production.
