Case Study: Manufacturing Plant Enhances Safety and Efficiency with FLUX Chemical Pumps
Summary:
A chemical processing plant in Nairobi implemented FLUX drum pumping systems to address production inefficiencies and safety concerns in their manufacturing process. The solution eliminated the need for overhead drum positioning and reduced dependency on forklift availability, creating a safer work environment while optimizing equipment utilization. As a result, production time for a specific product decreased by 50%, cutting the process from 8 hours to just 4 hours. The plant now completes daily production by noon instead of 4 PM, demonstrating how the right fluid transfer solution can dramatically improve both safety and operational efficiency.
