Semi Automatic Drum Barrel and IBC Tote Filling Machine for 200L to 1000L Chemical, Paint, and Liquid Filling System

Efficient and precise bulk liquid packaging is critical in industries such as chemicals, paints, coatings, lubricants, and specialty liquids. A semi automatic drum barrel and IBC tote filling machine for 200L to 1000L containers provides manufacturers with a versatile solution for filling drums and totes safely, accurately, and efficiently while minimizing labor and product loss.

High-Precision Filling Technology

This semi automatic filling system uses load-cell based net weight or volumetric control to ensure precise filling. Multi-stage filling—with fast bulk flow followed by slow top-off—prevents overfill, splashing, and foaming. Accuracy typically ranges between ±0.2–0.5%, making it suitable for both viscous chemicals and solvent-based paints.

Features of Semi Automatic Drum and IBC Filling Machines

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

• Dive-in and anti-drip filling nozzles for clean, splash-free operation

• PLC or user-friendly control panel for recipe management and batch tracking

• Manual or semi-automatic container positioning for flexibility across drum and tote sizes

• Optional conveyors, capping, and sealing units for partial automation

• Explosion-proof design (optional) for flammable chemicals and solvents

Applications Across Industries

This semi automatic filling system is ideal for handling a wide range of liquid products, including:

• Industrial lubricants and engine oils

• Paints, coatings, and resins

• Chemical solvents and additives

• Food-grade oils and specialty liquid formulations

Its versatility allows manufacturers to fill 200L drums and 1000L IBC totes on the same line, improving operational flexibility and reducing downtime.

Automation and Productivity

Semi automatic drum and tote filling machines combine manual operation with automation to improve efficiency:

• Automated tare and zeroing functions for accurate net weight filling

• Partial conveyor integration for smooth infeed and outfeed

• Recipe storage and batch tracking for repeatable production runs

• Real-time monitoring and diagnostics for consistent performance

Typical throughput ranges from 20–40 drums per hour or 6–10 IBC totes per hour, depending on liquid viscosity and container size.

Safety and Compliance

Handling flammable or hazardous liquids requires strict safety standards. Key features include:

• Explosion-proof components for volatile chemicals and paints

• Grounding and static protection systems

• Spill containment trays to prevent leaks and workplace hazards

Benefits of Semi Automatic Filling Systems

• High filling accuracy reduces waste and overfill

• Flexibility for multiple container sizes (200L–1000L) and liquid types

• Reduced labor requirements with semi-automatic operation

• Enhanced safety with anti-drip nozzles and optional explosion-proof design

• Durable construction with stainless steel components for long service life

Conclusion

A semi automatic drum barrel and IBC tote filling machine for 200L to 1000L chemical, paint, and liquid filling is the ideal solution for manufacturers seeking accuracy, efficiency, and flexibility in bulk liquid packaging. By combining precision filling technology, semi-automation, and safety features, these machines optimize production, reduce costs, and ensure consistent quality across all drums and IBC totes.
