Overview

This GRIEF-VELOX model is a fully automatic filling system, model A-DOS-P1, is designed for efficient drum filling and is suitable for a wide range of fluids, from low viscosity to high viscosity media. It automatically positions the filling lance, fills to the specified weight, and repeats the process for each drum, minimizing operator intervention. Capable of filling up to 40 drums per hour, it is optimized for high-speed, large-scale production.

  • Automatic bung opening and lance positioning
  • High-speed filling: up to 40 drums per hour
  • Adjustable for different liquid viscosities
  • Optional IBC/tote filling with lid removal and replacement
  • Operator-free drum handling process

Description of Operation

This fully automatic filling system, model A-DOS-P1, is designed for high-efficiency filling of drums and IBCs.

  • A load of four drums is conveyed into the filling station and stops by photo eye.
  • A camera/sensor device automatically moves over the load to locate each bung
  • A bung removal tool is used to remove the bung from each drum
  • Each bung is held until the drum is filled then it’s replaced with the same drum
  • The boom and lance carriage move into position to start the fill cycle
  • Each drum is automatically tarred to zero weight before filling
  • When liquid reaches the lance tip the machine shifts into fast fill cycle
  • Near the top, it shifts to slow speed to top of the drum and minimize foaming
  • When filled to the designated weight, the lance retracts to his home position
  • The bung is automatically replaced onto the filled drum
  • The bung removal and filling cycle is repeated for all subsequent empty drums
  • When all containers are filled, the load will drive out allowing a new load to enter
  • The tested cycle rate, with water, is four drums / five minutes, or 48 drums/hour
