Overview
A stand-alone single drum filler is typically used whenever drums and pails are run in small batches. Containers must be loaded and unloaded manually, by fork truck, or other appropriate device. However, conveyors to and from the filler can be applied at almost any time. This is a standard model DF-5510, semi-automatic, top and sub-surface filling machine. When operated in the sub-surface filling mode, it will fill containers from 5 gallon pails up to 55 gallon drums.
Description of Operation
This model DF-5510 is both a sub-surface and a top-fill machine to fill 5 to 55 gallon containers
- Containers must be manually loaded and unloaded from the scale
- If conveyors are used, containers automatically convey to and from the fill station
- If using tight-head containers, the operator aligns the bung opening under the lance
