   • Drip-Free Valves: Prevents spills and ensures clean, precise filling.
   • Vacuum Filling Option: For handling viscous or foaming chemicals without air entrapment.

4. High-Precision Filling Technology:

   • Weight-Based Filling: Integrated load cells ensure accurate fill volumes with ±0.5% accuracy.
   • Level Sensors: Radar or ultrasonic sensors for precise liquid level detection.
   • Anti-Foam Design: Minimizes bubbles during filling, ideal for foaming chemicals.

5. Touch Screen HMI (Human-Machine Interface):

   • Intuitive touch screen for easy programming, monitoring, and adjustment of filling parameters.
   • Stores multiple product profiles for different chemical formulations and IBC sizes.
   • Displays real-time data (e.g., fill volume, speed, error codes).

6. Safety Features:

   • Emergency Stop Button: Immediate shutdown in case of emergencies.
   • Overfill Protection: Prevents overfilling of IBCs, reducing waste and spills.
   • Grounding System: Ensures electrical safety by preventing static buildup.
   • Fusible Links: Automatically shuts down the system if overheating occurs.

7. Environmental Protection:

   • Vapor Extraction System: Captures and vents hazardous fumes during filling to protect operators and the environment.
   • Drum/IBC Cleaning Station: Optional module for cleaning IBCs before reuse.

8. Modular and Customizable:

   • Scalable Design: Can be upgraded with additional modules (e.g., labeling, capping, or data logging).
   • Custom Nozzles: Adaptable to various IBC spout sizes and types.

Applications:

• Chemical Manufacturing: Filling IBCs with corrosive, flammable, or toxic chemicals (e.g., acids, solvents, oils).
• Petrochemical Industry: Handling flammable liquids like gasoline, diesel, or petrochemicals.
• Pharmaceuticals: Filling solvents, oils, or other pharmaceutical ingredients in hazardous areas.
• Food and Beverage: Filling large quantities of food-grade chemicals or ingredients.
• Agricultural Chemicals: Safely filling pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides.

Benefits:

1. Safety:

   • ATEX/IECEx certification ensures compliance with explosion-proof standards.
   • Spark-resistant components and intrinsically safe circuits prevent ignition in hazardous environments.
   • Vapor extraction system minimizes operator exposure to harmful fumes.

2. Corrosion Resistance:

   • Stainless steel and chemical-resistant coatings ensure longevity and reliability in harsh environments.
   • Compatible with aggressive chemicals, acids, and alkalis.

3. Precision and Accuracy:

   • High-precision sensors and weight-based filling ensure consistent fill volumes, reducing giveaway and waste.
   • Drip-free nozzles and anti-foam design minimize spillage and contamination.

4. Efficiency:

   • Fully automated operation reduces labor costs and increases throughput.
   • Touch screen interface simplifies setup and reduces training time.

5. Versatility:

   • Suitable for a wide range of IBC sizes and types (e.g., totes, tanks, containers).
   • Customizable for specific industry requirements (e.g., food-grade, hazardous chemicals).

6. Cost-Effective:

   • Reduces product waste, labor costs, and downtime compared to manual operations.
   • Minimizes cross-contamination risks with dedicated equipment.

7. Environmental Compliance:

   • Vapor extraction system ensures safe handling of hazardous fumes, protecting operators and the environment.
   • Modular design allows for future upgrades to meet evolving regulations.

Technical Specifications (Example):

• Filling Capacity: Up to 1,000 liters per minute (adjustable)
• Filling Accuracy: ±0.5% (weight-based or level-based)
• Materials: 304/316L stainless steel (corrosion-resistant) with optional PTFE/epoxy coatings
• Power Source: Electric (220V/50Hz or 110V/60Hz) or pneumatic (optional)
• Safety Certification: ATEX, IECEx, CE, FDA (depending on configuration)
• Dimensions: Compact footprint (e.g., 1500mm x 1000mm x 2000mm)
• Weight: ~500 kg (depending on configuration)
• Touch Screen: Color LCD with user-friendly interface

Optional Add-Ons:

1. Conveyor System: Automated transport of IBCs for continuous operation.
2. Labeling Machine: Automatic application of labels for hazard identification, expiration dates, or batch numbers.
3. RFID/Barcode Scanners: For automatic IBC recognition and tracking.
4. Data Logging: USB or Ethernet connectivity for recording fill data and integration with MES/ERP systems.
5. Vacuum Filling Module: For handling highly viscous or foaming products.
6. Capping Machine: Integrated tamper-evident or hermetic capping for sealed IBCs.
