This is how I spent my afternoon, packaging oil...
Okay...so what goes into packaging a gallon of oil?
Okay...so what goes into packaging a gallon of oil?
You start with labels, caps and
and of course bottles!
We then set the counter for auto fill
The bottle goes on the digital scale...
Depending on which grade of oil we're packaging...depends on the weight per gallon. In this case for the
tractor hydraulic fluid each gallon must weigh 7lb 32oz (minus the bottle)
If the temp changes...the weight of the oil changes soI had to do a lot of "jogging" to adjust
(not running...it's hitting the jog button to adjust the amount of product in the gallon)
I then cap, label and box them...
216 gallons later you have a skid...
One skid down...many more to go!* Responding to Jayme's comment...
Yeppers...we do a lot of packaging and even package for 2 other companies.
As a matter of fact this skid is for one of them :0]
