Our systems are trusted by manufacturers in the chemical, petrochemical, food , lubricants, coatings, and adhesive sectors who demand reliability, repeatability, and compliance with global filling standards.
Our drum filling machines are engineered to deliver precise, safe and efficient filling for a wide range of industrial liquids — from solvent, resin, glue, engine oil, motor oil, coconut oil, sunflower oil, olive oil, chemical paste, and ex-proof chemical products.
Whether your operation handles 200L, 205L, 220L, or 1000L containers, our automatic drum fillers and semi-automatic drum filling machines ensure the highest standards of accuracy and safety for HDPE drums, 55-gallon barrels, metal barrels, and IBC tote drums.
⚙️ What Is a Drum Filling Machine?
A drum filling machine (also known as drum filling equipment or barrel filling machine) is an automated system designed to fill liquid or semi-liquid products into drums and totes with exceptional accuracy and control.
Each unit combines PLC-based automation, precision weighing scales, and stainless-steel filling valves to ensure consistent and safe operation.
Our drum filling systems can be configured for top-filling, sub-surface filling, or bottom-filling, depending on the liquid’s viscosity and foaming characteristics.
This flexibility allows you to handle everything from highly viscous glues and resins to thin, volatile solvents and oils — all with one integrated solution.
