• Filling of drums with toxic products
  Filling of drums with toxic products in a Belgian chemical factory.
  It was a real challenge for Feige to design a fully automatic filling machine to fill steel bunghole drums. It was of first priority that humans and environment were supposed to be a hundred percent safe.Taking our well-proven automatic drum filler as basis we have finally realised a technical highly-efficient machinery without any negative affect on the total rentability.The drums are centred and positioned, automatically debunged, vacuum-checked on air-tightness, filled according to Weight & Measures, safely bunged and moved off - all this in strict conformity with ATEX-regulations, for sure...

• Optimised Empty Drum Logistics
  Increase of efficiency and good rate of return with optimising empty drum handling logistics.
  It's the drum that has made its way worldwide in various internationally standardised versions as a container for liquid and paste-like materials. A distribution of liquid and pasty products for industrial employment or application isn't imaginable any longer without 200 litres drums! They do comply with all requirements for a safe transport and storage either of hazardous goods or foods. There is a strong logistic challenge to face when filling drums fully automatic, for example with a Feige drum filler. Up to 120 steel bunghole drums per hour  each having a volume of 216,5 ltr. are positioned, debunged, filled, rebunged and reliably closed with a seal cap.
  As a result thereof, this quantity of drums (120) is demanded as empty drum in-feed and thus multiplies with the number of available automatic drum fillers accordingly!

• Organised filling of dispersion/Latex paints and liquid plaster in production plants
  Nowadays, the organised filling of liquid building materials, as e.g. dispersion/Latex paint and plasters has to cover a big complexity because of its wide variety of products and their different sorts of containers to be filled. Especially those companies which have continuously grown up over the years require a “taylor-made suit” to build up fully professional production plants. This case study of Messrs. Swiss Lack is a typical example for such a demanding task.
