Drum and tote filling systems are automated or semi-automated solutions designed to fill 200L drums, 1000L IBC totes, and other large containers with liquids, powders, or granular materials. They ensure accurate filling, reduced spillage, and high safety standards. These systems are widely used in chemicals, oils, paints, food, and pharmaceuticals. 🔹 Types of Filling Systems Drum Filling Systems Designed for 200L or 210L drums Suitable for liquids (oils, chemicals, paints) or powders Filling methods: piston, gear pump, gravity, or air/impeller fill Semi-automatic or fully automatic Tote / IBC Filling Systems Designed for 1000L IBC totes or bulk containers Filling with high accuracy and minimal operator handling Equipped with bottom or top filling spouts, flow meters, or pump systems Integrated weighing systems optional Combined Drum & Tote Lines Dual-purpose lines handling both drums and totes Can include filling, capping, sealing, and labeling in one workflow 🔹 Core Components Filling Station: adjustable spouts, pumps, or valves Weighing System: load cells for precise volume/weight control Container Positioning: automatic drum/tote lift or conveyor Capping/Sealing Station: drum lids, tote caps, or bung seals Control System: PLC + HMI for batch control, flow rate, and alarms Safety Features: spill containment, leak detection, explosion-proof design (for chemicals) Optional Accessories: dust collection, level sensors, anti-overfill sensors 🔹 Applications Chemicals: solvents, resins, acids, alkalis Oils: edible oils, lubricants, hydraulic oils Paints & Coatings: liquid paints, varnishes, adhesives Food & Pharma: syrups, liquid ingredients, bulk powders 🔹 Advantages ✅ Accurate filling of drums and totes ✅ Reduced labor and faster throughput ✅ Spill- and dust-free operation ✅ Safe for hazardous or flammable liquids ✅ Easy integration with capping, labeling, and palletizing systems 🔹 Reference Specs Drum size: 200–220 L Tote size: 500–1250 L Filling speed: Drums: 20–80 drums/hour (depending on material & automation) Totes: 8–20 totes/hour Accuracy: ±0.2–0.5% Power supply: 380–480 V, 3-phase Optional air: 0.6–0.8 MPa for pneumatic valves I can also create a visual flow diagram of a drum and tote filling line showing container feeding → weighing → filling → capping → labeling → palletizing, which is very useful for customer presentations.
