Introduction to Automatic Drum Fillers

An automatic drum filler is a key solution for filling a variety of liquids into drums, barrels, and totes with precision and efficiency. Whether you are handling engine oils, lubricant oils, solvents, or paints, automatic drum filling machines offer high accuracy, speed, and reliability, ensuring consistent fill levels across a wide range of drum sizes.

Our automatic drum filling systems are designed for a variety of drum types, including HDPE drums, metal barrels, and steel drums. These CE-certified systems are built to handle flammable or corrosive liquids and comply with explosion-proof (Ex-proof) standards, providing safety for your team and ensuring regulatory compliance in industrial environments.

Why Choose an Automatic Drum Filler?

1. Precision and Efficiency:
   • Automatic drum fillers are engineered to offer ±0.1% filling accuracy, ensuring that each 55-gallon HDPE drum, steel drum, or IBC container is filled precisely. Whether it’s engine oil, lubricants, adhesives, or chemicals, these machines ensure no overfilling or underfilling, reducing waste and enhancing product quality.
2. High-Speed Performance:
   • Our automated drum filling systems are designed to fill up to 30 drums per hour (55-gallon drums) and 6-8 IBC barrels per hour with minimal human intervention, maximizing throughput for industries that require high-volume filling.
3. Explosion-Proof Safety:
   • For filling flammable or hazardous liquids such as solvents, hydraulic oils, motor oils, and acids, our automatic drum fillers are equipped with explosion-proof features, including ATEX certification and Ex-proof designs. This ensures safe operations in environments where volatile chemicals are present.
4. Versatility Across Drum Types:
   • HDPE drums (high-density polyethylene), metal barrels, and IBC containers are all compatible with our drum filling equipment. Whether you’re using 55-gallon HDPE drums, 55-gallon steel drums, or IBC totes, our system offers easy adaptability to various container sizes and shapes, making it perfect for industries across the board.
5. Corrosion-Resistant Design:
   • Built with 304 stainless steel and PTFE-lined components, our automatic drum filling machines are durable and resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for filling aggressive liquids like acids, resins, and solvents without compromising on quality.
