Drum Filling Machines
They
are designed to handle corrosive, hazardous or food grade environments. The are
attached with fume hoods and conveyor systems. There are semi automatic and automatic
models
In
semi automatic models the operator has to roll the drum to the filling platform.
Once the filling cycle is initiated the platform is raised to the required height.
Nozzle opens and fills the drum. Once it reaches the desired weight, the nozzle
closes and rises. The operator then has to roll the drum to the conveyer system.
In the top fill fillers the nozzle opens just inside the drum opening. In
the sub-surface filling system the nozzle goes to the bottom of the drum opens
and gradually rises as the drum fills. The top filling machines are suited for
non-foaming fluids and the subsurface fillers can be used for foaming liquids In
the automatic drum filling system, rolling the drum to the filling platform, filling
and transfer to the conveyer, all is automatic. |
