Net Weight Drum Filling Machine for Oil and Paint

In the oil, lubricant, and paint industries, precise and efficient filling of bulk containers is essential for product quality, cost reduction, and operational efficiency. A net weight drum filling machine for oil and paint ensures accurate filling of 200L drums and other bulk containers, minimizing overfill, waste, and spillage while improving productivity.

Precision Filling with Net Weight Technology

Unlike volumetric filling, net weight drum filling machines measure the actual weight of the product using load-cell technology. This ensures every drum is filled to its exact target weight, with accuracy typically within ±0.1–0.2%, regardless of liquid viscosity or temperature. Multi-stage filling—fast bulk fill followed by slow top-off—prevents splashing, foaming, and wastage.

Features Designed for Oil and Paint

The machine is engineered to handle a wide range of liquids, including:

• Engine oils, hydraulic fluids, and lubricants

• Industrial paints, coatings, and resins

• Specialty chemical liquids

Key features include:

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

• Dive-in and anti-drip nozzles to reduce splashing and ensure clean filling

• Explosion-proof design for flammable oils or solvent-based paints

• PLC touchscreen controls for recipe management and batch tracking

• Automated drum positioning for seamless production flow

Applications Across Industries

Net weight drum filling machines are widely used in:

• Automotive oils and lubricants manufacturing

• Paint, coating, and resin production

• Industrial chemical processing

• Food-grade oils and specialty liquids

Their versatility allows manufacturers to fill multiple liquid types on a single line efficiently.

Automation and Production Efficiency

A fully automated net weight drum filling system integrates:

• Automated infeed/outfeed conveyors for continuous operation

• Tare and zeroing functions for precise net weight filling

• Recipe storage and batch control for flexible production

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

Typical throughput reaches 40–60 drums per hour, depending on liquid viscosity and drum size.

Safety and Compliance

Handling oils and paints often involves flammable or hazardous liquids. Safety features include:

• Explosion-proof construction (ATEX/IECEx certified)

• Grounding and static protection systems

• Spill containment trays to prevent leaks

• VOC emission control options for environmentally sensitive operations

Benefits of Net Weight Drum Filling Machines

• High filling accuracy minimizes product loss and overfills

• Flexible operation for oils, paints, and chemical liquids

• Enhanced workplace safety with anti-drip and explosion-proof designs

• Increased production efficiency through automation

• Durable stainless steel construction ensures long-term reliability

Conclusion

A net weight drum filling machine for oil and paint is a critical investment for manufacturers seeking accuracy, efficiency, and safety in bulk liquid packaging. By combining precision load-cell technology, automation, and explosion-proof safety features, these systems optimize production, reduce operational costs, and deliver consistent, high-quality filling in every drum.
