New HOYER tank cleaning facility operational
The globally active logistics provider will increase efficiency and significantly shorten the throughput times of IBCs during the cleaning process.
The result will mean optimised fleet utilisation, better plannability and faster provision of the stainless steel containers, which are in great demand.
The group has recorded significant growth in this business area over the last two years.
By commissioning this most modern, semi-automatic IBC cleaning facility in Mannheim, the company is expanding its services with state-of-the-art technology and according to the highest certified quality and safety standards.
Marlen Blechschmidt, director IBC Logistics, said: “Through this investment, we further strengthen the cleaning network of the HOYER Group.
“We will continue to grow our IBC business. With our network of workshops, depots and cleaning facilities through our cotac subsidiary, we offer reliable full service from a single source. This enables us to serve our major customers in the chemical, cosmetics and food industries even more efficiently.”
The new, semi-automatic plant is primarily designed to clean chemical and cosmetic products, but can also perform certified cleaning operations for food products - including kosher.
Due to the high compatibility of the state-of-the-art plant, the wide range of different IBC types existing in the HOYER Group portfolio poses no challenge.
Internal and external cleaning are automated in accordance with industrial and certified standards, and disinfection by steam is also possible. ~
When choosing this state-of-the-art facility, the logistics company attached particular importance to an energy-efficient, resource-saving cleaning process.
According to Jens Enskat, managing director cotac: “This IBC cleaning system increases our processing capacity by 30% with the same number of staff. It makes our colleagues’ daily work easier, and gives our customers even greater planning security.”
The cotac group is an integral part of the full-service portfolio of the HOYER Group.
Twelve locations at logistics hubs in Europe, Asia and the USA now support the transport logistics processes of HOYER.
cotac offers globally uniform standards for tank cleaning, repair and depot services, and is regularly audited in accordance with DIN EN-ISO 9001 and SQAS. Its technical services ensure the smooth, efficient and safe transport logistics of the HOYER Group - and do so worldwide.
