Continuing its long-standing tradition of partnership with Symrise, BEHKO’s design-build team collaborated with industry leaders to retrofit Symrise’s current facility in Goose Creek, SC to design, engineer, and construct a cleanroom environment that accommodates the global manufacture’s first fully automated filling station in North America. Construction commenced in Fall ’22 after BEHKO completed the design phase of its multi-year contract awarded in 2020 by Symrise, a global food additives and fragrance company with facilities here in the upstate. 

This fully automated food-grade filling station is capable of filling 55gal drum, pails, and IBC containers, and it also palletizes, labels, and straps the finished packaged units once filling is complete. This filling station features three total product lines: two for 55 gal drums and IBC containers and one for 25kg pails. This highly complex system is capable of packaging 40 drums per hour, and up to 240 pails per hour.
