Material handling is an essential part of many industrial processes in which bulk materials, powders, granules and liquids have to be efficiently moved, stored and processed. Techniques for handling materials in various forms: tank systems, silo systems, as well as innovative handling systems for containers such as IBCs, big bags, sacks, barrels or canisters. They enable efficient, safe and automated handling that is adapted to individual production requirements.

Material handling encompasses all processes necessary for the transportation, storage, filling and emptying of materials. These processes are of crucial importance in many industries, such as the chemical, building materials, pharmaceutical, food and plastics industries. The handling of bulk materials, powders, granulates and liquids presents different challenges for technology and logistics. Customized solutions that can be operated both manually and fully automatically meet the specific needs of your production.
Tank systems are one of the main technologies in the field of material handling, especially for the storage and transportation of liquids. Our tank systems are suitable for a wide range of applications, from the transportation of chemicals to the storage of food. They offer flexibility in design, can be installed vertically or horizontally, and are adaptable for different volumes.
The tanks provide a safe and economical way to store and transport large quantities of liquids and are ideal for industrial applications that require high capacity and precise control.
Silo systems are the ideal solution for the storage and handling of bulk materials such as powders, granules or pellets. The silos are suitable for a wide range of materials and ensure efficient emptying and filling. They are equipped with special conveying mechanisms that guarantee a constant material flow without affecting the quality of the product.
By using modern silo systems, you not only optimize the material flow, but also the efficiency of your production and minimize maintenance.
Mobile container technology is an important component of modern material flow and conveying systems. IFA Technology's mobile stainless steel containers are the ideal complement to stationary systems and enable hygienic, ergonomic, and safe conveying of powders, granulates, liquids, and viscous media.
Their robust construction, high maneuverability, and customization options make them a flexible solution in dynamic production environments. Mobile containers reduce manual transport routes, stabilize material flows, and contribute to efficient, uninterrupted processes.
IFA Technology offers customized solutions for material handling in all industries – from the chemical industry to food production. We guarantee innovative technology that optimizes your production processes and makes them future-proof.

What are the advantages of an IBC filling system?
An IBC filling system enables precise, efficient and safe filling of IBC containers, with the integration of weighing systems and pump technologies for exact material dosing.
Are the container handling systems suitable for different types of material?
Yes, our container handling systems are suitable for a wide range of materials, including powders, granules, liquids and viscous substances.
What safety features do the drum emptying stations offer?
Drum emptying stations have safety features such as extraction, material recirculation systems and protective devices to ensure clean and safe emptying.
Which conveyor system is best suited for my production?
The choice of the right conveying system depends on various factors, such as the type of material (liquid or solid), the distance to be covered and the specific requirements of your process. Mechanical conveying systems are particularly suitable for coarse-grained materials and shorter distances. Pneumatic systems, on the other hand, are ideal for fine-grained or sensitive substances and longer distances. Our experts will be happy to advise you on the best solution for your production.
What are the advantages of pneumatic conveying systems?
Pneumatic conveying systems provide a closed and hygienic solution for transporting sensitive materials such as powders or granules. They are flexible and can be easily integrated into existing plants. They also prevent dust formation, which makes them particularly environmentally friendly.
Can the systems be automated and integrated into existing productions?
Yes, our handling and conveying systems are fully automatable and can be easily integrated into existing production processes. With the help of modern PLC technology, the systems can be controlled and monitored in real time, which increases efficiency and minimizes downtime.
How do mobile containers improve efficiency in material flow?
They serve as flexible transport units or buffer containers, reduce downtime, and stabilize material movements throughout the entire production chain.
How can mobile containers be integrated into existing conveyor or dosing lines?
Thanks to customized connections and docking solutions, they can be easily integrated into automatic conveyor and dosing systems.
