Our drum filling machine achieves ±0.05% accuracy on 200L drums — equating to ±100g on a 200kg fill. This is achieved through net-weight load cell control with a fast-slow fill approach: fast fill to approximately 90% of target weight, then slow precision top-off to the exact target. The four-point load cell platform updates at 200 samples/second, allowing sub-100g resolution on heavy containers. For comparison, volumetric filling systems typically achieve ±0.5–1% on large drums.

Our drum filling machines handle: paints and coatings (water-based and solvent-based), lubricants and motor oils (wide viscosity range), chemical products including acids, alkalis and industrial solvents (with appropriate wetted part materials), food-grade liquids (cooking oils, syrups, liquid food ingredients), and pharmaceutical-grade bulk liquids. Wetted part material options include SUS304/316L for corrosive chemicals, HDPE and PTFE for highly acidic/alkaline products, and carbon steel for non-corrosive applications.

ATEX certification is required when filling flammable liquids with flash point below 60°C (including most organic solvents, alcohols, petroleum products and flammable paints). Our standard drum filling machines are CE certified for non-hazardous applications. ATEX Zone 1 (Ex d IIB T4 Gb) versions are available for continuous explosive atmosphere environments. Zone 2 versions for occasional explosive atmosphere exposure are also available. We recommend specifying your exact product flash point and vapor pressure so we can confirm the required ATEX category.

A single-head drum filling machine achieves 60–80 drums/hour for most products. High-speed versions achieve up to 120 drums/hour for low-viscosity liquids with fast settle time on the load cell. For higher throughput requirements, dual-head configurations double capacity to 120–240 drums/hour on a single conveyor. A complete drum filling line (empty drum depalletizing, filling, capping, bung wrench sealing, labeling and palletizing) occupies approximately 20–35 meters and can be designed to your specific factory layout.
