IBC Tote Filling System for Oil, Coating, and Additives

Efficient and accurate packaging is crucial in industries handling bulk liquids, such as oils, coatings, and chemical additives. An IBC tote filling system for oil, coating, and additives provides manufacturers with a reliable solution for filling 1000L IBC totes and other bulk containers safely and efficiently.

High-Precision Filling Technology

Modern IBC tote filling systems use net weight or load-cell based technology to deliver precise filling with accuracy up to ±0.1–0.2%. Multi-stage filling—fast bulk flow followed by a slow top-off—prevents overfill, splashing, and foaming, ensuring every container meets strict quality standards while minimizing product waste.

Features for Oil, Coating, and Additives

The system is engineered to handle diverse liquid properties, including:

• Viscous oils and lubricants

• Water-based and solvent-based coatings

• Chemical additives and specialty liquids

Key design features include:

• Stainless steel (SS304/SS316L) wetted parts for chemical resistance and durability

• Dive-in and anti-drip nozzles for clean filling

• Explosion-proof components for flammable liquids

• PLC touchscreen controls for recipe management and batch tracking

• Automated container positioning for seamless production

Applications Across Industries

This IBC tote filling system is widely used in:

• Automotive oils and industrial lubricants

• Paints, coatings, and resins

• Chemical and additive manufacturing

• Food-grade oils and specialty liquids

Its versatility allows manufacturers to handle multiple liquid types on a single line, improving efficiency and reducing downtime.

Automation and Production Efficiency

The system integrates fully with production lines, featuring:

• Automated infeed/outfeed conveyors for continuous operation

• Tare and zeroing for accurate net weight filling

• Optional capping, sealing, and palletizing units for end-to-end automation

• Real-time monitoring and diagnostics to maintain smooth workflow

Throughput typically reaches 8–12 IBC totes per hour, depending on liquid viscosity and product density.

Safety and Compliance

Handling oils, coatings, and chemical additives often involves flammable or hazardous liquids. The system is designed with:

• ATEX-certified explosion-proof components

• Grounding and static protection

• Spill containment systems

• VOC control options for environmentally sensitive operations

Benefits of IBC Tote Filling Systems

• High filling accuracy reduces waste and improves profitability

• Flexible operation for multiple liquid types and viscosities

• Enhanced safety for operators and production facilities

• Increased productivity with automated operations

• Durable stainless steel construction ensures long-term reliability

Conclusion

An IBC tote filling system for oil, coating, and additives is the ideal solution for manufacturers seeking precision, efficiency, and safety in bulk liquid packaging. By combining advanced automation, net weight control, and explosion-proof safety features, these systems streamline production, reduce costs, and deliver consistent quality in every container.
