If precious and expensive raw materials need to be dispensed and formulated accurately Wei-Pack Batching systems are the right choice. Whichever industry you work for, formulation of components is always involved and a crucial part of your value creation process. Stable product quality and robust production processes are decisive to your production yield, profitability and commercial product success. Minor shifts or variations of ingredients can alter the properties of your product drastically.
Wei-Pack offers manual, semi-automatic, and automated dispensing & formulation solutions to suit your individual requirements. The product range spans from compact and terminal based solutions up to networked PC-based software systems providing full process traceability, centralized recipe management and a large choice of formulation methods. Elimination of user errors and raw material wastage result in maximized production yield and improved profitability.
Today's market calls for more recipes, in smaller quantities, on very short notice. These demands result in the need to add to the range of standard products, while still maintaining minimum inventory and operating costs, and a "just in time" manufacturing philosophy. Additionally, more stringent performance specs increase the need for accountability. These challenges are best met by employing Wei-Pack batching systems.
The main function of a batching system designed by Wei-Pack is to produce the scheduled production volume, within specification at near zero error and sufficient automation to keep labor costs at a minimum. This can be accomplished by selecting a batching system best suited for the plant's production needs.

To determine the most appropriate system for your specific
batching applications, Wei-Pack's multi-disciplined
engineering team considers these important factors in the
initial phase:
Production Capacity or the total annual blend volume
Total number of batches produced
Finished Product Storage Capacity for batched products and the value of bypassing holding tanks to blend
directly to filling or bulk loading
Total number and volume of bulk storage
Number and storage requirements of drummed additives
Component characteristics such as viscosity and batch
temperature
Number of batch family groups and the safeguards necessary to avoid contamination
Quality control requirements, blend testing procedures and the degree of difficulty correcting blends once
made
Energy cost factors
