The management of the materials in the form of bulk

The transport of liquids can be overly expensive if it is not in the right conditions. Well because become contaminated or damaged the bulk transported, either because it occupies too much space with drums and lost precious time in loading and unloading. To solve these problems, Luis Villamayor, Tayyibah bulk, presented the Flexitank, a bag or tank flexible large that "transform a conventional container in a safe and efficient system of transport of liquids in bulk". Models have capacity for 10,000 and 24,000 litres and are a serious alternative to the equipment of tanks in a global market where sometimes customers suffer shortages of equipment in certain routes and additional costs from repositioning of equipment.

As well as being safer, these containers reduces significantly the time of loading, then fill them just costs around half an hour through a valve which facilitates loading and unloading. In addition, the Flexitank completely both eliminates the movement of the liquid during transport as the movement of cargo within the vehicle or of the ship.

Vidmar intends to automate transits and downloads of trucks which carry bulk and integrate process information flows in a quick and simple way with what we get operations of receipt of materials 24 hours, seven days a weekWe mecanizaríamos routines that do not add value, dotaríamos of a high degree of autonomy to our suppliers, and mejoraríamos the quality of the entire process.

With this, and as explained the technical director of Vidmar Spain, José Barrera, "with the implementation of a system of automation and control of traffic of trucks:"

-Can be an automation of approximately 80-90 per cent of the transactions carried out, minimizing the work of the operators of scale.

-You get full control of the bulk cargoes, avoiding possible needs of download or reload vehicles once known the weight in the scale of output.

-Facilitate loading of bagging. Requirements may also provide for by product type.

-You can manage queues of vehicles at factory according to the desired parameters.

-The State of the vehicles in factory is known at any time from any computer connected to the network.

Daniel Vivona, Chief Operating Officer of Neos Additives stressed the importance of optimizing logistic flow in powder materials according to the physico-chemical of each of these features. In his speech he flailed how should consider an optimum driving, dosage and measuring of these materials and presented examples of design flow according to the media that we have and going through the usual industrial sectors. According to Mr Vivona an optimization of the flow would produce "a reduction of fixed costs considerable, waste of packaging, the cost of raw materials, stocks and waste".

If one takes into account the characteristics specific of each material (maximum size of the particles, bulk density, angle of slope of rest, slope of transport, dynamic, unloading angle, moisture, the abrasive, the volume to be transported and the flow to extract)You can choose the best system of storage or transport to obtain not only economic benefits but also of quality.

The best results

To achieve the best results, Daniel Vivona proposes seven tips:

-Learn about the current costs.

-Become acquainted with their raw materials and determine the appropriate technology.

-Draw new handling process.

-Identify new raw materials and transportation costs.

-Draw the new process, from planning through the return of materials.

-Define contracts with suppliers and carriers.

-Be very attentive with inventory control.
