System F in Africa: Global Distribution and After-Sales Support from Adelphi Masterfil Turnkey Filling Solution Supports Rapid Growth at OVH Energy
OVH Energy Marketing has a strong and expanding presence across Africa, supplying lubricant products to customers in the industrial, automotive, aviation, manufacturing, turbine and marine sectors. The company operates three lubricant blending plants in Nigeria, where increasing demand created an urgent need to expand capacity and modernise production.
The Challenge: Capacity Growth Without Complexity
With significant growth underway, OVH Energy required a plant upgrade that would increase output while avoiding the complexity of managing multiple machinery suppliers.
The requirement was clear:
- Increased filling capacity
- Modern, reliable technology
- A fully turnkey solution delivered by a single trusted partner
The Solution: A Complete Turnkey Filling Line
Adelphi Masterfil supplied a System F-600 flowmeter filling machine as part of a fully integrated turnkey line, incorporating:
- The System F-600 inline flowmeter filler
- A semi-automatic capping machine
- A fully automatic Sovereign labelling system
This seamless collaboration removed the burden of supplier coordination while delivering a fully optimised filling line.
“Simple in operation, but exceptional filling efficiency and capacity.”
Proven International After-Sales Support
OVH Energy was already familiar with Adelphi Masterfil’s capabilities, having previously purchased a complete filling line in 2015, including a Multifil 5L automatic filler and Mastercap capper.
Reflecting on the decision to work with Adelphi Masterfil again, Operations Manager Mohammad Dahiru highlighted the importance of after-sales support:
“The aftersales support we received previously was a key factor — as fast and efficient as ever!”
Turnkey Project Management Without Compromise
While turnkey machinery projects often require multiple approvals and extended timelines, Mr Dahiru described the collaboration as:
“Always focused on the specification and intent on pinpointing our exact requirements.”
By working with Adelphi Masterfil, OVH Energy avoided the time-consuming challenge of managing multiple vendors, benefiting from single-source accountability throughout the project.
World-Leading Filling Technology
Several factors influenced OVH Energy’s decision to reinvest in Adelphi Masterfil machinery:
“The machine technology of the new System F fillers, the design of Masterfil’s equipment, and the durability of the machines. Adelphi Masterfil deliver on all of this.”
The System F-600 was manufactured with a remote filling nozzle, providing flexibility to:
- Fill 25L kegs on a conveyor
- Fill 200L drums on pallets, which would be impractical to move onto a conveyor
High Accuracy for High-Demand Production
With the filling line operating eight hours per day, five days per week, reliability and ease of use were critical.
Mr Dahiru explained the importance of simplicity combined with performance:
“It was crucial to install machines which were simple in operation, but offered exceptional filling efficiency and capacity.”
The System F-600 delivers filling accuracy of ±0.15%, significantly reducing product wastage and improving cost efficiency.
Global Distribution and Local Expertise
Adelphi Masterfil maintains a strong global presence in the lubricants and oil markets, working with customers across Africa, the Middle East and the Far East, supported by local agency representation.
OVH Energy was introduced to Adelphi Masterfil through Akhigbe Itua of Itua Pack, Adelphi Masterfil’s representative in the Nigerian market, ensuring both local support and global engineering expertise.
