Drum and Container Filling Line, Semiautomatic YOC 2006

The line is designed for filling both 1000 liter IBC’s and normal 209 liter drums / barrels. It consist of straight chain driven heavy duty roller conveyor which is carrying IBC’s or a standard pallet loaded with four drums / barrels through the filling process and conveying them for further storing. The filling machine is semiautomatic coarse-and-fine filling station; first is programmable volumetric and then fine filling with integrated weighing system. Cap closing / bunging and sealing will be made manually but a machine aided. The station operation is controlled by Siemens S7C programmable logic.

The line is manufactured in 2006 by Finnish company “Insinööritoimisto Jyrki Kekälainen” who is specialized supplying automation solutions filling and packing applications.

Operation description:
The operator lifts the empty containers on the conveyor (open the cap of container), the container will move into filling machine and it will be filled automatically with 2 "and 1 / 2" valves, coarse-and fine-filling. After filling the container will move out of the machine and the operator will fix the label and close the cap. After the filling station there is ~16 m long puffer conveyor for the filled IBC`s, where a fork lift will pick up the IBC`s

In drum filling the operator lifts the empty drums on pallet (open the caps). Then he lifts the pallet on the conveyor. In the machine there is an extra filling lence for the drums.
