Problem
iPlex needed a container unloading solution that could meet strict safety standards and ensure product integrity during the transfer of PVC resin.
Their existing process required multiple operators and left material exposed to contamination risks.
Manual handling increased the likelihood of workplace injuries and slowed down the unloading process, leading to unnecessary labour costs and inefficiency.
Solution
A-Ward supplied a Raise and Tilt Container Tilter custom-configured for iPlex’s resin operations. The system incorporated Category 3 safety controls, an enclosed transfer chute directly connected to iPlex’s blower and silo line, and a designated safe-operation area with full visibility.
This single-operator setup removed contamination risk, reduced labour, and ensured clean, reliable unloading with precise control.
Result
The new A-Ward solution transformed iPlex’s resin unloading process, creating a safer, cleaner, and more cost-effective workflow.
- Single-operator process cut labour costs.
- Fully enclosed design prevented contamination.
- Remote operation improved safety and visibility.
Client Feedback
“The A-Ward tilter solution has transformed our unloading process. It’s safer, cleaner, and requires fewer people to operate.”
