Semi Automatic Liquid Filling Machine for Drum Barrel IBC Tote Oil Engine Oil Chemical Resin Adhesive Coating Use 2

Semi-Automatic Liquid Filling Machine for Drums, Barrels, IBC Totes, and Large Containers

Ideal for: Oils, Engine Oils, Chemicals, Resins, Adhesives, Coatings, and More

1. Applications

This semi-automatic filling machine is designed for high-viscosity and medium-viscosity liquids in large containers:

• Oils & Lubricants: Engine oils, hydraulic oils, greases, transmission fluids.
• Chemicals: Solvents, acids, corrosive liquids, industrial chemicals.
• Resins & Adhesives: Epoxy resins, polyurethane adhesives, thick industrial glues.
• Coatings & Paints: High-viscosity coatings, abrasive paints, industrial finishes.
• Other Uses: Food-grade oils, pharmaceutical liquids, and specialty chemicals.

2. Key Features

A semi-automatic system combines operator control with automated precision, ensuring efficiency and accuracy for drums, barrels, IBC totes, and large tanks.

a. Precision Filling

• Volumetric or Gravimetric Options:
  • Volumetric: Suitable for consistent liquids (e.g., engine oils, coatings).
  • Gravimetric: Real-time weighing for high-value or viscous products (e.g., resins, adhesives).
• Adjustable Fill Speeds: Prevents splashing, foaming, or air entrapment in thick liquids.

b. Versatility for Large Containers

• Interchangeable Nozzles: Accommodates 200L drums, barrels, IBC totes, and 1000L tanks.
• High-Flow Pumps: Rapid filling of large containers without compromising accuracy.
• Long Reach Nozzles: Accesses deep into drums, barrels, or totes for efficient filling.

c. Material Compatibility

• Stainless Steel (304/316) Construction: Resists corrosion from oils, chemicals, and adhesives.
• Chemical-Resistant Hoses/Seals: Options like PTFE, Viton, or NBR for aggressive products.

d. User Control and Safety

• Foot Pedal or Manual Start/Stop: Allows operators to control the fill cycle.
• Vapor Extraction Arms: Capture fumes at the fill point (critical for solvents or volatile chemicals).
• Static Grounding and ESD Protection: Reduces risks in flammable environments.

e. Touchscreen HMI: Set fill volumes, batch counts, and recipes for repeatability.

3. How It Works

1. Operator Places Container: Position the drum, barrel, or IBC tote under the fill head.
2. Start Filling: Initiates the cycle via foot pedal, button, or HMI.
3. Automated Dispensing: The machine fills to the preset volume or weight.
4. Shutoff: Stops automatically to prevent overfilling.
5. Repeat: Move to the next container and repeat.

4. Benefits

• Cost-Effective: Lower upfront investment than fully automatic systems.
• Precision: Accurate filling reduces waste and ensures product consistency.
• Safety: Minimizes operator exposure to fumes, spills, and hazardous materials.
• Ease of Use: Simple operation with minimal training.
• Scalability: Easily upgradeable to fully automatic systems as needs grow.

5. Customization Options

Tailor the system to your specific requirements:

• Nozzle Types:
  • General Use: Spouts or funnel nozzles.
  • Thick Liquids: Wide-mouth nozzles or anti-clog designs.
• ATEX/IECEx Certification: For explosive atmospheres (e.g., solvents, flammable chemicals).
• Integrated Weighing Scales: Gravimetric filling for high-precision applications.
• Vapor Recovery Systems: Filter and recycle fumes to meet environmental standards.

6. Industry-Specific Considerations

• Oils & Lubricants: Use pneumatic diaphragm pumps or peristaltic pumps for high viscosity.
• Chemicals: Prioritize chemical-resistant materials (e.g., Hastelloy, PTFE) and explosion-proof components.
• Resins & Adhesives: Abrasion-resistant seals and thick-liquid handling pumps.
• Coatings & Paints: Wide-mouth nozzles and anti-clog designs for abrasive materials.

7. Why Choose a Semi-Automatic System?

• Ideal for Variable Production: Perfect for startups, contract manufacturers, or facilities with fluctuating demand.
• Balance of Control and Automation: Operator oversight ensures accuracy while automation handles repetitive tasks.
• Large-Volume Capacity: Efficiently fills drums, barrels, IBC totes, and large tanks.

8. Selecting the Right Supplier

Choose suppliers with:

• Industry Experience: Proven expertise in oil, chemical, and adhesive sectors.
• Customization Capabilities: Tailored solutions for viscosity, container size, and regulatory requirements.
• Comprehensive Support: Installation, training, maintenance, and spare parts availability.
• Certified Equipment: ATEX, ISO, and CE certifications for safety and compliance.

A semi-automatic liquid filling machine delivers precision, safety, and flexibility for large-volume applications. Whether you’re handling oils, chemicals, resins, or coatings, these systems offer an efficient and scalable solution for your operations.
