Drum Filling Systems

Filling Systems for large Quantities

Industrial drum filling is an important part of intralogistics in many industries. It ensures safety and efficiency for the transport and storage of liquid substances. Filling into drums can be done manually, semi-automatically or with fully automatic plant technology. We offer customized filling technology for this, from simple filling stations with scales to fully automatic systems.

Applications of Drum Filling

Drum filling is used in many industries, such as the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries. The requirements for drum filling vary greatly from industry to industry, which is why we adapt our filling systems to your individual requirements. The system's broad range of applications is the result of its suitability for food, ATEX certification, integrated leak testing and inerting of containers.

Modern Camera Technology

Our drum filling systems focus on both safety and convenience. A non-contact camera controls the positioning of the bungholes, enabling precise filling. It also detects overfilling at an early stage, e.g. with foaming products, and the system is switched off in good time - avoiding time-consuming cleaning work. Another advantage: Smoothly starting motors ensure completely splash-free transport of the containers.

Fully Automatic Drum Filling

Single Station Filling Systems

The SMB single station filling system can be used to fill different container sizes – from 10-liter canisters to 1,000-liter containers. On request, smaller filling quantities (2/5 liters) can also be realized. The single-station filling system consists of a separate filling station with scales and filling lance. The dosing is automatic. Small containers can be aligned by hand, but fully automatic operation with infeed and outfeed of the containers is also possible.

Line Filling Systems

SMB line filling systems are used when continuous and fully automatic filling of larger quantities is required. Various designs enable filling into canisters, buckets, drums or cans via one, two, three or four filling points. Optional extensions and combinations with other systems guarantee an individual adaptation of the system depending on the requirements.

Types of Drums

Drums are always used when large quantities of a substance need to be stored. Steel drums are often used for this purpose. They are available in various sizes with different closure and venting mechanisms. Another material for drums is plastic. These are lighter and can be used for a variety of chemicals, for example, with volumes ranging from 30 liters to 60 liters and up to 220 liters.

They can also be equipped with various closure and venting mechanisms. So-called IBC drums are also often used for the transport of liquids. These drums usually have a drum capacity of 1,000 liters. They consist of a plastic container mounted in a steel or plastic lattice cage.

Properties of Plastic Drums:

They are very durable and can be used for many years.

Plastic drums do not corrode and can also be used in aggressive environments.

Plastic drums are significantly lighter than steel or metal drums, which makes transport and handling easier.

Unlike steel drums, plastic drums do not require an internal coating to protect the material inside.

Plastic drums are easy to clean, which is important if they are used for food or medical purposes.

Plastic drums can be reused, which is both environmentally friendly and cost-effective.

Plastic drums are resistant to many types of chemicals and biological influences, making them ideal for the transport and storage of hazardous substances.

Properties of Metal Drums:

Metal drums can withstand extreme temperatures and weather conditions. They are also resistant to fire and chemicals.

Metal drums offer safe storage of products. They are heavier than plastic drums, which helps prevent them from tipping over or rolling away as easily. They can also be fitted with security locks to prevent unauthorized access.

Metal drums can be used several times by simply cleaning and refilling them. They are also 100% recyclable, helping to reduce the environmental impact.

Metal drums are stackable, saving space and simplifying transport.
