Lubricants, silicones, resins, assembly pastes, cleaning agents and solvents are and solvents are typical examples of technical media that are often „packaged“ and supplied in clamping lid or wide-neck drums. Again and again, however However, this is a problem that affects both the material manufacturers when the drums are first filled and their customers during the further processing of the media: Undetected air bubbles and air pockets in the pastes or liquids make their perfect process control – for example when dosing, mixing or applying – almost impossible. Process interruptions, high cleaning and setup costs and quality defects in the end product are just some of the unpleasant consequences. are just some of the unpleasant consequences. To solve this problem, well-known material manufacturers and numerous users now rely on the vacuum systems TAVA F developed by TARTLER. While the material manufacturer or his packaging service provider is able to deliver bubble-free filled containers with reliably degassed and moisturefree media to the customer, the use of such a degassed and free of moisture, the use of such a degassing station leads to improved process control and minimization of waste. At the same time TAVA F has been shown in many places to be superior to other evacuation systems. Managing Director Udo Tartler explains the reason for this: „Many systems work sub-optimally, for example because they have air pockets that form due to the folds in the film bags (inliners) inserted into the drums and are not captured. The air then enters the processing process, where it causes functional problems, for example in the pumps. The low-pressure vacuum technology and the flexible sealing system of the TAVA F, on the other hand, ensure complete, seamless degassing.“

Important component of quality assurance
Thanks to its high degassing quality, the TAVA F is also suitable for fluid technology applications with increased requirements. One example of this is the micro-dosing of greases for the lubrication of the smallest rolling bearings. „Even the introduction of tiny air bubbles that are barely visible to the eye would be fatal here and would lead to premature bearing failure. The use of our vacuum station is a decisive factor in quality assurance at this point – both for the finely dosed greases as well as with regard to the function of the entire rolling bearing assembly,“ emphasizes Udo Tartler. In many other areas of process engineering where pasty or liquid media must be kept free of air and bubbles, the TAVA F from TARTLER has proven its worth.

guarantee the seamless, complete degassing of pasty and
liquid media.
Some companies use the TAVA F as a component in the implementation of resource-saving zero waste concepts. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, the use of the degassing system significantly reduces the material waste; secondly, the need for cleaning chemicals is reduced, as there are now only process interruptions caused by faulty air; and thirdly, material residues such as those generated during drum changes or test runs to adjust formulations or mixing ratios, can be collected and returned to production after processing in the TAVA F. When processing synthetic resins, the degassing system is often combined with a pumping station – this can be a NODOPOX system from TARTLER. This reduces the procurement costs for new material and the disposal costs for waste.
Optimal process integration
To ensure that the TAVA F can be optimally integrated into the filling, decanting and drum changing processes TARTLER offers various modifications, additional modules and peripheral systems. „Apart from the fact that an adaptation to other containers can be carried out without tools and with little cleaning effort, our degassing station can be equipped with cable winches on request, drum lifters, roller conveyors, trolleys or special handling systems,“ says Udo Tartler. In addition, a radar sensor can be installed in the drum to determine the filling quantity as well as load cells that determine the weight of the material to be filled and switch off automatically when the filling automatically switch off when the filling weight is reached. For many process engineering applications integrated smoothing coaters, which optimize the surface finish of the filled material and eliminate the surface finish of the filled material and eliminate problems with trapped air during subsequent removal, as well as special follower plates for filling materials with very high viscosity (>1,000,000 mPas) and/or extreme thixotropy. Printer for labeling the containers and network modules for logging the data are also part of the peripheral equipment portfolio from TARTLER. As a special machine manufacturer, the company is also able to implement almost any process or environment-specific adaptation.
The TAVA F from TARTLER is an almost universally applicable degassing solution for high and low viscosity media. Wherever technical pastes and liquids need to be filled into lidded drums and fed from there into processing systems without the entry of disturbing air it increases process efficiency. As it also reduces material waste and also enables the reprocessing of production residues, it helps media users in the practical implementation of sustainability projects.
For example, roller conveyor feed: To ensure that the
TAVA F can be optimally integrated into various filling
/and drum changing processes, TARTLER offers numerous
modifications, additional modules and peripheral systems.
