Stainless Steel Palletized Drum Filling System
Model DF-5540-SS

This system allows 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.

This all stainless construction, palletized drum, IBC and pail filler is a semi-automatic and sub-surface filling machine that uses a ball-screw to raise and lower the entire pivoting boom and vertical carriage.


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
  • The operator releases the button and the boom is automatically locked in place.
  • The operator then presses the start button, the lance travels to the bottom of the drum, the load is tared out and the filling starts in slow fill mode.
  • When the liquid reaches 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.
