Xtrakt®

As the drive unit is activated, it tensions the dual-wall liner and begins to crawl down the bag, continuing to present liquid to the pump to support full discharge.

Standard liners may tear under stress. ILC Dover’s flexible liner offers double-wall strength and is specifically designed to work with the drive unit to recover more residual product.

Once your positive displacement diaphragm or piston pump empties 65% – 85% of product from your intermediate bulk container’s (IBC) inner liner, a push of a button engages the Xtrakt^® drive unit to help complete the extraction.

A facility processing 5,000 liners a year (1,000 kg of product/liner) experiences about 15 kg of residual product loss/liner, or 75,000 kg of product lost annually. Xtrakt can reduce that residual down to 2 kg on average resulting in an annual residual reduction of 65,000kg. With an average batch cost of $15 per kg that equals a savings in wasted residual of $975K a year.

Typical IBC extraction requires manual tugging, twisting, lifting or tilting of the liner, putting workers at risk for injury. Xtrakt^® is a hands-free system.

The Xtrakt^® components, rugged drive unit and pneumatic control system reside on a deployment cart which is easily moved within the facility.

Designed to shut down once it reaches the bottom of each liner, the Xtrakt^® drive unit helps dispense all but 2 kg or less of product.

Because Xtrakt’s automated recovery of residual products eliminates the need for worker intervention during discharge, the risk of an injury and worker’s compensation claims are reduced. And the empty, single-use liners are stackable for easy disposal.
