Streamlining Processes with Custom Skid Systems

Makedown skids are designed to safely and precisely mix dry chemical ingredients without taking up the space of a large mixing system. Dry makedown skids can solve challenges for a wide variety of industries including food and beverage applications, industrial, consumer, wastewater, and municipal facilities. Crane Engineering is the leading manufacturer of custom, dry makedown skid systems nationwide, with additional fluid handling equipment sold in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Upper Michigan. Crane Engineering can create a custom skid for your individual application. 

How do Makedown Skid Systems Work?

Makedown skid systems are used in a wide variety of industrial applications and industries. Makedown skids are essentially mini factories that take a precise amount of dry ingredients and mix them with just the right amount of water to create a specific concentrated solution. 

One example of a process skid in action is the pre-treatment of wastewater before it enters the main treatment plant.

• Chemical Dosing: Skids can add precise doses of coagulants or flocculants to help separate solids from the wastewater. 
• pH Adjustment: Process skids can regulate the alkalinity of the wastewater with acid or a base addition
• Process Filtration: Skids can remove large particles or specific contaminants before the primary treatment process.
  significant cost savings. Instead of purchasing pre-diluted polymer, users can create custom diluted polymer using these cutting-edge skid-mounted systems.

Additional Benefits of Process Skids

Dry makedown skid systems streamline your process by ensuring accurate and consistent application of materials ensuring proper dosing, consistency, and flow every time. Not only will makedown skid systems improve your efficiency, but they are safer, and take up less operational space, making them a valuable asset to any production line. 

• Save space by storing dry materials rather than pre-mixed materials and you don’t have to worry about pre-blending. Skid systems can add water at just the precise concentration and flow rate
• Improve accuracy and reduce human error by automating your production line, ensuring consistent concentration and rate of flow of chemicals and ingredients.
• Recipe automation and process reliability by programming your most common dry chemical or ingredient recipes into a makedown skid system, you can ensure that the right recipe is produced each time.
• Improve operator safety by reducing the risk of physical injuries from lifting and hauling heavy bags, and minimize inhalation of and exposure to hazardous airborne particles.
