With the new DULCODOS SAFE-IBC F&B, ProMinent is launching a metering and emptying station for intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) that has been specially developed for the requirements of the food and beverage industry. The system ensures maximum process reliability and the highest level of food safety – from storage to the precise metering of food ingredients and additives. All components that come into contact with media comply with the requirements of Regulations EC 1935/2004 and EN 10/2011. The system thus reduces the risk of contamination in sensitive production areas.

An integrated intermediate container with a volume of around 80 litres ensures that the dosing process continues without interruption even when changing the IBC. Leak-proof couplings and food-grade hoses prevent dripping and leakage. A wheel-accessible drip tray safely collects any residues and reduces the cleaning effort. A visual level indicator and automated alarm functions provide early warning of refilling or maintenance requirements. Sensors continuously monitor the process, thereby increasing operational safety.
The slightly inclined installation surface of the IBC ensures that residues are almost completely emptied. This reduces material costs and minimises waste. The system is CIP-compatible (Cleaning in Place) and can be cleaned without dismantling.
For precise dosing tasks, the station can be combined with the DULCODOS Compact DSKb F&B, a ready-to-connect dosing system that also complies with EC 1935/2004. Both components work together seamlessly and enable hygienic and controlled dosing of liquid media. The modular concept allows easy integration into existing systems and can be flexibly expanded as required.
Optionally, the DULCOLEVEL radar sensor measures the fill level without contact and transmits the values automatically. This allows operators to keep an eye on their processes, document them seamlessly and fulfil their documentation obligations for quality controls and audits.
With the new system solution, ProMinent supports food manufacturers in making their metering processes safe, efficient and economical.
