Semi Automatic Drum Filling Equipment for Industrial Oil Packaging

Semi-Automatic Drum Filling Equipment for Industrial Oil Packaging

The semi-automatic drum filling equipment is designed for efficient, precise packaging of industrial oils (e.g., engine oil, hydraulic oil, gear oil) into 20–200 liter drums. Combining operator control with automated functionality, this equipment ensures accuracy, safety, and cost-effectiveness for medium to high-volume filling operations.

Key Features

1. Semi-Automatic Operation

   • Operator-assisted: Manual drum placement with automated fill cycle initiation.
   • Push-button controls: Simple HMI interface for starting/stopping fill cycles.
   • Handling flexibility: Accommodates multiple drum sizes (20–200 liters) and types (steel, plastic).

2. Precision Filling Technology

   • Weight-based accuracy: ±0.5% error using load cells or flow meters.
   • Adjustable flow rate: Variable speed pump to prevent splashing, foaming, or overfilling.
   • Automatic shutoff: Infrared sensors or manual controls stop fill at target weight/volume.

3. Safety & Compliance

   • Drip-free nozzles: Eliminate spills and cross-contamination risks.
   • Vapor recovery system: Optional for flammable oils to minimize fumes.
   • ATEX/IECEx certification: Safe for hazardous environments (Zone 22).
   • Emergency stop button: Immediate shutdown for operator safety.

4. Material Compatibility

   • Construction: Stainless steel (304/316L) or carbon steel with chemical-resistant coatings.
   • Temperature control: Heated hoppers or inline heaters for viscous oils (e.g., grease, heavy oils).
   • Chemical resistance: Suitable for petroleum products, synthetic oils, and solvents.

5. Flexibility & Efficiency

   • Multi-product capability: Quick changeover between different oils via preset recipes.
   • Batch counting: Tracks filled drums and stops automatically at preset batch sizes.
   • Speed: Fills up to 12–15 drums per hour (dependent on viscosity and setup).

6. Integrated Options

   • Roll-on capping machine: Automates drum sealing after filling.
   • Labeling system: Automatic or manual application of product labels.
   • Conveyor integration: For seamless movement of drums post-filling.

Technical Specifications

• Capacity: 20–200 liters per drum (adjustable).
• Accuracy: ±0.5% (weight-based or volumetric).
• Materials: Stainless steel (304/316L) or carbon steel with coatings.
• Power: 220V/380V/480V (customizable for regional standards).
• Environment: ATEX Zone 22 (hazardous area compliance).
• Communication Ports: Ethernet, USB, or industrial protocols (Modbus, Profibus).

Applications

• Oil refineries: Bottling base oils, lubes, and specialty fluids.
• Automotive industry: Packaging engine oil, transmission fluid, and grease.
• Industrial manufacturing: Filling hydraulic oil, gear oil, and metalworking fluids.
• Repacking facilities: Bulk oil transfer into drums for distribution.

Benefits

• Cost-effective: Lower upfront investment compared to fully automatic systems.
• Operator control: Simplifies troubleshooting and accommodates small batch changes.
• Versatility: Handles multiple drum sizes and oil viscosities with minimal adjustments.
• Safety: Drip-free nozzles, vapor recovery, and ATEX compliance reduce risks.
• Scalability: Easily upgradeable to fully automatic systems for higher throughput.

Why Choose This Equipment?

• Precision: Ensures consistent fill weights, reducing overfilling and product waste.
• Flexibility: Suitable for small to medium production runs with quick changeovers.
• Safety: Protects operators and the environment with spill prevention and hazardous area compliance.
• Global Support: OEM warranties, spare parts availability, and worldwide service networks.
