Contract Cylinder Filling

Novagas offers other bottled gas companies the facility to have their cylinders filled under contract.

Who?

Novagas provides a contract filling service for other gas supply companies, be they independent or multinational, and at present supplies several organizations that own their own cylinders and market them in areas local to themselves.

Why?

Novagas is contracted by these companies to fill cylinders for them, and again service plays a very important role in the success enjoyed by such entities. They are allowed to explore all sectors of the market place, and like Novagas have built a reputation for their customer service. Most of these independent gas supply companies were at some time either stockist's or distributors for national LPG suppliers, but were severely restricted in the ways in which they could sell LPG. They have now become more customer orientated instead of company dominated, prices are determined on a local level rather than having to follow a national policy.

How?

These companies transport empty cylinders to the Novagas plant near Ashford where they are either filled as the customer waits, or left for filling and collection at a later date. This again is tailored where possible to fit in with the contract company’s schedules. In the same way that Novagas checks its own cylinders, contract customer cylinders are inspected for any damage, leaking valves and date at which they have to be re-furbished. The cylinders are then loaded onto a roller system for movement into the filling shed. Automatic product guns are connected to the cylinders and Avery Berkel digital filling machines set to fill the correct weight of LPG. Once the machine has stopped filling, the gun is removed and the cylinder travels down the rollers to be leak tested, seals applied and then stored on the loading bay ready for collection.
