High-Efficiency 5-Gallon Pail Filling Machines for Chemical Materials

Overview:

The high-efficiency 5-gallon pail filling machine is designed for precise, fast, and safe filling of chemical materials into 5-gallon (19L) pails. Ideal for industries such as chemical manufacturing, adhesives, coatings, pharmaceuticals, or household cleaning products, this equipment ensures accurate fill weights, minimizes waste, and handles viscous or foaming chemicals with ease. Available in semi-automatic or fully automatic configurations, it combines reliability, user-friendliness, and compliance with safety standards.

Key Features:

1. Precision Filling:

• Weight-Based Accuracy: High-precision load cells (±0.1% accuracy) ensure consistent fill weights.

• Adjustable Fill Levels: Easily set fill volumes or weights via touchscreen HMI.

• Drip-Free Nozzles: Prevents dripping after filling, reducing mess and cross-contamination.

2. High Throughput:

• Fast Cycle Times: Fills up to 60 pails per hour (semi-auto) or 120+ pails per hour (fully auto).

• Continuous Operation: Fully automatic models support unattended operation with conveyor systems.

3. Chemical Compatibility:

• Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Stainless steel (304/316) with PTFE or FKM seals for harsh chemicals.

• Heated Jackets (Optional): Maintain optimal temperature for viscous or temperature-sensitive materials.

• Inline Filters: Prevent clogging from impurities or particulates.

4. Foam Management:

• Anti-Foam Nozzles: Minimize air entrapment and foam during filling.

• Low-Shear Pumping: Diaphragm or peristaltic pumps reduce agitation in viscous liquids.

• Pre-Wetting Option: Injects a small amount of liquid into the pail before filling to reduce foam.

5. Safety & Compliance:

• ATEX/IECEx Certification: Explosion-proof design for hazardous environments (Zone 1/21 or Zone 2/22).

• Static Grounding: Eliminates static buildup during filling.

• Spill Containment: Drip trays or enclosed filling areas catch accidental spills.

6. User-Friendly Operation:

• Touchscreen HMI: Intuitive interface for setting parameters, monitoring batches, and troubleshooting.

• Foot Pedal Control: Hands-free start/stop for manual operation.

• Quick Changeover: Tool-free nozzle and hose replacement for different pail sizes or products.

7. Customization Options:

• Nitrogen Blanketing (Optional): Inert gas purging prevents foaming and oxidation.

• Automated Capping: Integrated capping system for sealed pails.

• Labeling Integration (Optional): Apply barcodes, batch numbers, or expiration dates.

8. Maintenance & Cleanliness:

• Self-Purging Function: Automatically cleans the nozzle after each cycle.

• Tool-Free Cleaning: Quick-disassembly nozzles and hoses for easy maintenance.

• IP65/69K Rating: Dust and water resistance for harsh environments.

9. Versatility:

• Multi-Product Handling: Program different fill recipes for various chemical formulations.

• Pail Size Flexibility: Accommodates pails from 5L to 20L with adjustable nozzle height.

• Viscosity Range: Handles solutions up to 10,000 cP (e.g., adhesives, coatings, gels).

Applications:

• Chemical Manufacturing: Filling acids, bases, solvents, or specialty chemicals.

• Adhesives & Coatings: Dispensing viscous or thixotropic materials.

• Pharmaceuticals: Packaging suspensions, creams, or lotions.

• Household Chemicals: Filling detergents, disinfectants, or cleaners.

• Industrial Lubricants: Dispensing oils or greases into pails.

Operation Steps:

1. Container Loading: Empty 5-gallon pail is placed on the weighing platform (manually or via conveyor).

2. Nozzle Positioning: Telescopic nozzle extends into the pail to minimize splashing and foam.

3. Filling: The machine fills the pail to the preset weight using load cells.

4. Foam Control (Optional): Nitrogen blanketing or anti-foam nozzles reduce air entrapment.

5. Sealing & Capping (Optional): Automated or manual capping applies a sealed lid.

6. Container Removal: Filled pail is removed manually or transferred via conveyor.

7. Cleanup (Optional): Nozzle self-purges or undergoes manual cleaning.

Benefits:

1. Accuracy: Weight-based filling ensures precise dosing, reducing overfilling and material waste.

2. Speed: High throughput (60–120 pails/hour) improves productivity.

3. Safety: ATEX certification, drip-free nozzles, and static grounding ensure safe operation.

4. Flexibility: Handles viscous, thixotropic, or foaming chemicals with ease.

5. Ease of Use: Touchscreen HMI and foot pedal control simplify operation.

6. Low Maintenance: Tool-free cleaning and durable construction minimize downtime.

7. Customization: Optional features like nitrogen blanketing and automated capping enhance functionality.
