Semi Automatic Drum and Tote Filling Machine for Liquid Products

In industries handling bulk liquids, such as lubricants, chemicals, paints, and coatings, precision and efficiency are crucial. A semi automatic drum and tote filling machine for liquid products provides an effective solution for filling 200L drums, 1000L IBC totes, and other bulk containers with high accuracy, while reducing manual labor and improving operational safety.

High-Precision Filling Technology

Semi automatic filling machines use load-cell or volumetric control technology to deliver precise filling. Multi-stage filling—with fast bulk flow followed by slow top-off—ensures every drum or tote reaches its target weight without splashing, foaming, or overfill. Typical accuracy ranges between ±0.2–0.5%, depending on the liquid type and viscosity.

Features of Semi Automatic Drum and Tote Fillers

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

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

• PLC or simple control panel for recipe management and batch tracking

• Manual or semi-automatic container positioning for flexibility

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

Applications Across Industries

These machines are suitable for filling a wide range of liquid products, including:

• Lubricating oils and engine oils

• Industrial chemicals and solvents

• Paints, coatings, and resins

• Food-grade oils and specialty liquid additives

Semi automatic systems are ideal for small to medium production volumes, pilot lines, or operations requiring flexibility without fully automating the production line.

Benefits of Semi Automatic Filling Machines

• Improved accuracy compared to manual filling

• Reduced labor costs and operator fatigue

• Flexibility to handle multiple liquids and container sizes

• Enhanced safety with anti-drip nozzles and spill protection

• Durable stainless steel construction for long-term use

Safety and Compliance

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

• Explosion-proof components (optional) for flammable liquids

• Grounding and static protection systems

• Spill containment trays to prevent accidents

Conclusion

A semi automatic drum and tote filling machine for liquid products is an excellent choice for manufacturers seeking precision, flexibility, and safety in bulk liquid packaging. By combining reliable filling technology, partial automation, and operator-friendly controls, these machines streamline production, reduce waste, and deliver consistent quality in every drum and IBC tote.
