The electronically controlled filling carousel FCA is a rotating platform designed for stationary installation on floor, with connection to a chain conveyor system via automatic inlet and outlet units, and to be equipped with MAKEEN Energy’s UFM filling machines to fill LPG cylinders.

Each filling machine on the carousel has its own connections to LPG, compressed air and electrical power/data via the carousel. This implies that each individual filling machine can be disconnected without taking the whole carousel out of service.

The unit is compatible with MAKEEN Energy's Industry 4.0 Digital Solution, which enables data capturing of the process for remote supervision, performance optimisation, and predictive/preventive maintenance alerts through e.g. a MAKEEN Energy cloud solution (optional).

Benefits

Maximum safety and savings

  • 100% safe interfacing connections (electrical/data, pneumatic, LPG) between fixed and rotating components
  • High filling capacity combined with a minimum number of operators due to reduced manual handling of cylinders
  • Fully automatic operation and cylinder transfers (eliminates human errors/accidents)
  • PED certified and 100% X-ray tested (optional) centre column and gas pipes for gas distribution (ensures no gas leaks)

Maximum production uptime

  • Automatic predictive and preventive maintenance alerts with MAKEEN Energy’s Industry 4.0 Digital Solution to avoid breakdowns (optional)

Optimised production

  • Remote supervision withMAKEEN Energy’s Industry 4.0 Digital Solution for production optimisation
  • Carousel filling is the most efficient way to use the UFM filling machines, as they will be in operation almost all the time
  • Carousel filling can optimise the operator’s (if any) working rhythm at the filling machines
