- 55 gallon drum filling demonstration
- 5 gallon pails on a pallet filling demonstration
Capabilities, included standard
- Fill up to four drums directly on a pallet or one IBC tote
- Front-mounted touch screen controls with tilting enclosure
- Swing-arm design allows for precise positioning of the fill nozzle. Fill containers between 6 to 60” in height.
- Save up to 255 fill profiles for different container sizes and products.
- Integrated quality checklist via the touch screen for switching between fill profiles and during system startup. (available option: barcode or RFID scanner integration for verifying supply tank, pump, or nozzle matches selected fill profile)
- Fill 60 seconds or less per drum, 5 minutes or less per IBC tote
Higher speed options available - 52” beam scale included (5,000lb max, +/- 1.00lb accuracy)
Optional 48"x48" platform scale available - 1.5” to 2" hoses to accommodate higher viscosity fluids
- Diving nozzle with foot valve, allowing for open-top or closed-top container filling from below the container opening. Standard nozzle dives 8".
Bottom-up and sub-surface filling with a longer nozzle lance available upon request - 7” screen for weight readout, setting weight target, and fill speed
- Laser crosshair to aid alignment of the nozzle over container opening
- Variable fill speed with auto slow top off feature
- Sanitary fitting connections for easy hose swaps
Standard machine equipped with:
- Electric Models - 3.0HP centrifugal pump, with stainless steel case and impeller, sanitary tri-clamp fittings for easy cleaning and hose changes. (5HP or higher power pumps available)
- Air-Operated Models - Variable speed controls for any type of air-operated pump, such as an air-operated double diaphragm pump.
- 7" Color touch screen
- 52" dual beam scale allowing for easy access with either pallet jack or forklift
-
Powder coated steel welded frame
Stainless steel washdown or epoxy coated corrosion resistant frames available -
Fully adjustable nozzle position - Move the filling arm forward/back, left/right, and up/down to position the nozzle over each container. Fill up to 4 drums or 16 pails directly on a pallet. Switch to filling 275 and 330 gallon IBC totes quickly without any adjustments. The swing arm locks in position during filling.
Specifications:
