Heavy Duty Drum Filling Solutions | Top-Fill Technology for Chemicals & Lubricants

Heavy Duty Drum Filling Solutions with Top-Fill Technology for Chemicals & Lubricants

Overview

The Heavy Duty Drum Filling Machine with Top-Fill Technology is engineered for robust, high-speed filling of heavy-duty liquids like chemicals, lubricants, oils, and greases. Designed to handle viscous products and demanding industrial environments, this solution ensures precision, safety, and efficiency while minimizing product waste and operator risk.

Key Features

1. Top-Fill Precision

   • Overhead Nozzle Design: Prevents splashing and aerosolization during filling (ideal for volatile or foaming products).
   • Drip-Free Valves: Automated nozzle retraction and sealing to eliminate drips and spills.
   • Adjustable Fill Speed: Controlled flow rate to prevent overfilling or product frothing.

2. Heavy-Duty Construction

   • Stainless Steel (304/316L): Corrosion-resistant materials for harsh chemicals.
   • High-Viscosity Handling: Capable of filling products up to 10,000 cP (customizable for higher viscosities).
   • ATEX/IECEx Certified: Safe for hazardous environments (e.g., flammable liquids, solvents).

3. Safety & Compliance

   • Static Grounding System: Automated drum grounding to eliminate static sparks.
   • Interlocked Guards: Prevents accidental access during operation.
   • Vapor Recovery: Enclosed fill heads with carbon filters to trap fumes.

4. Customizability

   • Container Compatibility: Supports open-top drums, IBC totes, and intermediate bulk containers.
   • Material Options: Hastelloy or PTFE linings for extreme chemical compatibility.
   • Nitrogen Overlay: Inert gas purging to protect products from oxidation (optional).

5. Efficiency & Automation

   • Weight-Based Accuracy: ±0.1% accuracy with integrated load cells and HMI control.
   • Continuous Operation: Automated drum indexing and conveyor systems for high throughput.
   • Quick Changeover: Tool-free adjustments for different drum sizes (20L–200L).

Technical Specifications

• Filling Capacity: 20L–200L drums, IBC totes, or custom containers.
• Viscosity Range: Up to 10,000 cP (higher viscosities available on request).
• Accuracy: ±0.1% (weight-based) or ±0.5% (volumetric).
• Power: Explosion-proof motors (220V/50Hz or 110V/60Hz).
• Certifications: ATEX, CE, ISO, OIML-R60 (weighing systems).

Applications

• Chemicals & Petrochemicals: Solvents, oils, resins, adhesives, and flammable liquids.
• Lubricants & Greases: Industrial oils, gear oils, greases, and cutting fluids.
• Food & Beverage: Edible oils, syrups, and bulk ingredients (optional food-grade design).
• Pharmaceuticals: APIs, suspensions, and sterile liquids (cleanroom compatible).
• Paints & Coatings: High-viscosity formulations and solvent-based products.

Operation Steps

1. Drum Placement: Open-top drum is positioned under the overhead filling nozzle.
2. Automatic Grounding: Static elimination system grounds the drum to prevent sparks.
3. Precision Filling: Weight-based or volumetric dispensing with controlled flow rate.
4. Nozzle Retraction: Automated lift and seal to prevent dripping or spillage.
5. Optional Capping/Sealing: Apply tamper-evident seals or closures (if required).
6. Cycle Completion: Filled drum moves to next stage (e.g., labeling, palletizing).

Optional Features

• Conveyor Systems: Roller or belt conveyors for seamless drum handling.
• Data Logging: USB/Ethernet export for batch tracking and compliance.
• Remote Control: Start/stop cycles from a safe distance (explosion-proof remote).
• Vacuum Purging: Removes residual product from hoses to prevent cross-contamination.
• Inert Gas Overlay: Nitrogen blanketing for oxygen-sensitive products.

Benefits

1. Spill-Free Operation: Overhead nozzle and automated sealing minimize product loss.
2. Versatility: Handles thin liquids, viscous products, and hazardous materials.
3. Regulatory Compliance: ATEX and CE certifications ensure safety in explosive atmospheres.
4. Low Maintenance: Robust stainless steel construction with easy-to-clean components.
5. Scalability: Suitable for small-scale production or large industrial operations.
