Customized Semi-automatic Weighing Filling Machine for Filling 200L Latex Paint

A Customized Semi-Automatic Weighing Filling Machine designed specifically for filling 200L drums of latex paint is a tailored solution that addresses the unique challenges of handling high-viscosity, water-based paints. Below is a detailed overview of its features, benefits, and key considerations:

Key Features:

1. Weighing System (Gravimetric Filling):

   • High-Precision Load Cells: Accurately measure the weight of the paint during filling, ensuring ±50g to ±100g accuracy for 200L drums.
   • Real-Time Weight Display: Touchscreen interface shows the exact weight of the fill in progress, allowing operators to monitor and adjust as needed.
   • Tare Weight Calibration: Accounts for the weight of empty drums to ensure precise net filling.

2. Material Compatibility:

   • Stainless Steel Construction: 304 or 316 stainless steel contact parts to resist corrosion from water-based latex paint.
   • Chemical-Resistant Hoses and Valves: Prevents degradation from prolonged exposure to paint ingredients.

3. High Viscosity Handling:

   • Positive Displacement Pump: Ensures smooth filling of high-viscosity latex paint without clogging or air entrainment.
   • Adjustable Filling Speed: Controls flow rate to prevent splashing, foaming, or overfilling.

4. Semi-Automatic Operation:

   • Operator-Controlled Start/Stop: Operator initiates filling and stops it when the target weight is reached, combining automation with manual control.
   • Foot Pedal or Button Control: Allows hands-free operation for added convenience.

5. Safety and Hygiene:

   • Drip Trays and Spill Containment: Minimizes mess and ensures easy cleanup.
   • Fumes Extraction (Optional): Integrated with a fume hood or exhaust system to handle any volatile emissions from the paint.
   • Lockable Guards: Prevents accidental operation when not in use.

6. Customization Options:

   • Nitrogen Blanketing (Optional): Inert gas purging to prevent oxidation or foaming of the paint during filling.
   • Labeling/Coding Systems: Adds batch numbers, expiration dates, or barcodes to drums for traceability.
   • Conveyor Integration: Automates drum transport to downstream processes like capping or labeling.

7. User-Friendly Interface:

   • Touchscreen Control Panel: Easy to set target weights, monitor fill progress, and access historical data.
   • Pre-Set Recipes: Store multiple filling parameters for different products or drum sizes.

8. Maintenance and Durability:

   • Easy-to-Clean Components: Stainless steel parts and removable hoses simplify cleaning.
   • Long-Life Pump and Valves: Designed to handle high-viscosity fluids with minimal wear.

Benefits:

• Precision Filling: Gravimetric weighing ensures accurate fill volumes, reducing product waste and ensuring consistency.
• Efficiency: Semi-automatic operation reduces labor costs compared to manual filling while maintaining control.
• Product Integrity: Nitrogen blanketing (if added) preserves paint quality by preventing foaming or oxidation.
• Hygiene and Safety: Stainless steel construction and sealed components meet hygiene standards and prevent contamination.
• Versatility: Can be customized for other high-viscosity liquids (e.g., epoxy resins, adhesives) if needed.
• Cost-Effective: Affordable compared to fully automatic systems while still delivering high accuracy and efficiency.

Applications:

1. Latex Paint Manufacturing: Filling water-based latex paint into 200L drums for distribution.
2. Industrial Coatings: Filling high-viscosity coatings or sealants into drums.
3. Adhesives and Resins: Packaging viscous adhesives or resins into drums.
4. Specialty Chemicals: Filling other high-viscosity, water-based liquids into drums.

Operation Steps:

1. Drum Placement:

   • The operator places an empty 200L drum under the filling head using a pallet truck or forklift.

2. Tare Weight Calibration:

   • The machine measures the weight of the empty drum and subtracts it from the target fill weight.

3. Filling:

   • The operator starts the filling process via a foot pedal or button.
   • The positive displacement pump dispenses latex paint into the drum while the weighing system continuously monitors the weight.
   • Filling stops automatically when the target weight is reached.

4. Sealing/Capping (Optional):

   • After filling, the operator manually places a lid or cap on the drum and tightens it securely.

5. Discharging:

   • The filled drum is moved to the next stage (e.g., labeling, palletizing) manually or with a conveyor system.

6. Cleanup:

   • Drip trays and sealed components minimize spills, keeping the machine and work area clean.

Considerations When Purchasing:

1. Viscosity of Paint: Ensure the pump and nozzle are suitable for your specific latex paint viscosity (e.g., 1000–5000 cP).
2. Accuracy Requirements: Choose a weighing system with the required precision (e.g., ±50g for 200L drums).
3. Output Needs: Select a model with the appropriate speed (e.g., 10–20 drums per hour) based on your production volume.
4. Customization Needs: Consider additional features like nitrogen blanketing, coding systems, or integration with other equipment.
5. Budget: Semi-automatic machines offer a cost-effective balance between manual and fully automatic systems.
6. Training and Maintenance: Ensure the machine is easy to operate and maintain, with accessible spare parts.
