Reliable IBC Tote Filling System for Bulk Liquid Handling 2

Reliable IBC Tote Filling System for Bulk Liquid Handling

Overview

The IBC Tote Filling System is a robust, automated solution designed for efficient, precise, and safe bulk liquid handling in Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs). Ideal for industries such as chemicals, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, oils, coatings, and more, this system ensures accurate filling, minimizes product loss, and enhances operator safety. It integrates seamlessly into production lines for high-throughput operations while complying with industry standards for hygiene, safety, and environmental protection.

Key Features

1. Precision Filling

   • Accuracy: ±0.5% fill level control (configurable via HMI/PLC).
   • No Overfill: Automated shutoff prevents spillage and product waste.
   • Flow Control: Adjustable speed to prevent splash, foaming, or air entrapment.

2. High Capacity & Speed

   • Throughput: Up to 12 IBCs per hour (depends on liquid viscosity and system configuration).
   • Continuous Operation: Integrated conveyor systems enable seamless loading/unloading.

3. Versatile Compatibility

   • Container Types: Accommodates standard IBCs (totes), drums, and palletized bulk containers.
   • Liquid Types: Thin liquids (e.g., water-based solutions), viscous fluids (e.g., oils), and moderately thick products (e.g., adhesives).

4. Automated Functions

   • Touchscreen HMI: Easy programming for fill volumes, speeds, and container types.
   • Automated Lidding/Capping: Optional integration with lid pressers or sealing systems.
   • Drum Handling: Roller conveyors or palletizers for larger containers.

5. Safety & Compliance

   • ATEX/IECEx Options: For flammable or explosive environments (e.g., solvents, fuels).
   • Drip-Free Nozzles: Prevents leaks and mess during filling.
   • Spill Containment: Stainless steel drip trays and emergency stop buttons.
   • Lockout/Tagout: Ensures safe maintenance and cleaning.

6. Customization Options

   • Viscosity Handling: Heated hoppers or pumps for temperature-sensitive liquids.
   • Nitrogen Blanketing: Prevents oxidation or foaming in sensitive products.
   • Weight-Based Filling: Integration with load cells for density-variable liquids.
   • Inert Gas Purge: Minimizes oxidation or contamination in sensitive applications.

7. Material Options

   • Stainless steel (304/316L) for corrosive liquids.
   • Hastelloy, PTFE, or chemical-resistant coatings for aggressive chemicals.

Optional Features

1. Vacuum Filtration: Removes air bubbles or contaminants before filling.
2. Riser Rings: Minimizes splash and foaming during filling.
3. RFID/Barcode Tracking: Logs batch numbers, expiration dates, and traceability data.
4. Multi-Head Filling: Parallel nozzles for higher throughput (up to 4x speed increase).
5. Chemical-Resistant Materials: Hastelloy, PTFE, or stainless steel (304/316L) for corrosive liquids.
6. Automatic Palletizing: Seamless integration with robotic or manual palletizing systems.
7. Clean-in-Place (CIP): Automated cleaning cycles for hygiene-critical applications.

How It Works

1. Container Placement: IBC totes are manually loaded or automatically fed via conveyor.
2. Filling Process:
   • The nozzle descends into the IBC tote.
   • A metering pump or mass flowmeter dispenses the precise volume of liquid.
   • The nozzle retracts, and excess liquid is reclaimed (optional).
3. Sealing & Labeling: Optional capping, sealing, or labeling systems apply closures and product information.
4. Discharge: Filled IBCs move to downstream processes (e.g., palletizing, shrink-wrapping).

Applications

• Chemicals: Solvents, acids, bases, and industrial cleaners.
• Food & Beverage: Syrups, oils, sauces, and edible oils.
• Pharmaceuticals: Oral liquids, sterile solutions, and solvents.
• Automotive: Engine oils, lubricants, and coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Water-based and solvent-based paints, varnishes, and adhesives.

Benefits

• Labor Savings: Fully automated operation reduces manual labor costs.
• Consistency: Eliminates human error for consistent fill levels across batches.
• Safety: Enclosed systems and ATEX compliance protect operators from hazardous fumes or spills.
• ROI: Reduces product loss, minimizes downtime, and extends equipment lifespan.
• Compliance: Meets OSHA, NSF, and ISO standards for food, pharma, and hazardous environments.

Why Choose This System?

• Reliability: Robust design with minimal maintenance requirements.
• Scalability: Easily expandable for future production needs.
• Expert Support: Custom engineering, installation, and lifetime technical support.
