ANAF is a chemical production company with over 50 years of experience. They produce tailor-made products such as coatings, adhesives, and cleaners in various colors, compositions, and packaging formats. Production takes place in Oeselgem, with distribution across Europe and the Americas, under private label and their own brand for sectors including construction, pools, roofing, doors and windows, and joinery.
Operating in an ATEX environment—covering around 70% of their products—further limited available solutions. At the same time, the company works with many colour and batch variations, and different product characteristics. This required accurate filling, fast batch switching, and quick, thorough cleaning between productions—all while remaining compatible with existing installations.
With the Gravifill standalone system, ANAF significantly improved its production process. The machine is compatible with existing installations and easily adapts to different batch sizes, viscosities, product characteristics, and packaging formats.
The modular nozzle system allows for fast adjustments, is easy to adjust, simple to clean, and is designed for safe use in ATEX environments. This combination allows for a smooth, accurate, and highly adaptable production process.
Since implementing Gravifill, ANAF has achieved:
✔️ Highly accurate filling with less than 0.5% deviation
✔️ Improved ergonomics, eliminating physical strain and back pain
✔️ Consistent results, independent of operator experience
✔️ A simple, user-friendly system accessible to all employees
✔️ Faster and more accurate cleaning
✔️ Rapid batch changes
The collaboration with Gravifill is described as hands-on and solution-driven. The team actively thinks along—not only about machines, but also about efficiency, safety, and long-term improvements.
By implementing changes step-by-step, ANAF was able to test and optimize before scaling. Gravifill also takes into account the needs and feedback of production workers, ensuring practical and ergonomic solutions on the work floor.
💬 “It’s great working with Sam—he really thinks along and helps solve challenges to move our company forward from an operational perspective. We are looking forward to the next projects.”
From the production floor, the feedback is positive. The system is easy to use, efficient, and clean to operate. Working at the right height makes it far less physically demanding, reducing fatigue and improving daily comfort for operators.
