This is the most popular method of filling drums and IBCs. Palletized filling is recommended whenever drums are to be stored or shipped on pallets.
This system allows three pallet loads of empty drums to accumulate prior to the filling station. A powered conveyor is on the scale and another after the fill station for bung & label application. The three non-powered zones at the end are for accumulated loads waiting fork truck pick up. This particular system has 7 filling lances, 6 of them are stored on the lance rack.

Description of Operation - DF-5540 |
|
- When a full load is discharged, a new load of empties conveys to the fill station and stops automatically.
- The operator then presses a button on the handle to release the boom and
guides the lance to the bung opening of any drum he chooses
- The operator releases the button and the boom is automatically locked in place.
- When the operator presses the start button the lance travels to the
bottom of the drum the machine will automatically
"tare
out" the
load and starts a slow fill cycle.
- When the liquid reaches above the tip of the lance,
the machine automatically shifts into fast fill
cycle.
- Near the top, the machine cycles to dribble speed to top off the drum.
- When the lance retracts the operator presses the button on the handle again to release the boom and guide the lance to the next drum.
- A normal cycle takes about 1 minutes per drum
and the full pallet load about 4 minutes.
