Automatic weight filling machine for jerrycans

The YM Packaging weight jerrycan filler fills liquids into jerrycans and pails from 5 to 30 litres. Filling works by gravity and is controlled by a PLC and high-precision load cells, in two stages, fast and slow, to gain speed without losing accuracy: ≤ ±0.1 % F.S. and 250 containers per hour with water, with 4 heads. Submerged filling nozzles reduce foam and a shut-off device prevents drips.

Why choose it

01

Weight filling

Mettler-Toledo load cells control the dose of each container, with an accuracy of ≤ ±0.1 % F.S. with water.

02

Two stages: fast and slow

Fast filling gains speed and slow filling finishes the dose accurately.

03

Anti-foam submerged filling

The nozzles go into the container and rise at an adjustable speed to minimise foam.

04

No drips

A shut-off device in the nozzles prevents drips and strings of viscous product.

05

Settings per head

Target weight of each head on the colour touch screen, manual and automatic modes and export of the filling data.

06

Stainless steel, easy cleaning

SUS304 stainless steel frame, 316L product-contact parts, filter net at the product inlet and quick-release connectors.

Jerrycans

Jerrycans

Jerrycans and pails from 5 to 30 litres, with a neck of 38 mm or more.

How it works

  1. Empty jerrycan entering the filler on the conveyor, with its position sensor

    Infeed and positioning

    Container infeed, positioning and outfeed are automatic.

  2. Stainless steel filling nozzles over three jerrycans at the filling station

    Two-stage filling

    The nozzles go into the container and fill first fast and then slow while the load cells weigh each container; at the end the nozzle rises and the shut-off cuts the product without drips.

  3. Capping head placing the red cap on a jerrycan, in line with the filler

    In-line capping

    If the line includes it, an automatic capper closes the jerrycan next.

  4. Capped jerrycan leaving the line

    Outfeed

    The filled container leaves on the conveyor to weight control and the end of the line.

Frequently asked questions

Which containers does the weight jerrycan filler fill?

Jerrycans and pails from 5 to 30 litres with a neck of 38 mm or more, 160 to 340 mm long, 100 to 260 mm wide and 250 to 500 mm high.

How fast is it?

250 containers per hour with water, with 4 filling heads. The real speed depends on the product and the volume.

How accurate is it?

≤ ±0.1 % F.S. with water. Each container is weighed during filling with Mettler-Toledo load cells, and two-stage filling, fast and slow, finishes the dose accurately.

Can it fill foaming liquids?

Yes. The submerged filling nozzles go into the container and rise at an adjustable speed to minimise foam.

How does the product reach the machine?

By gravity or with a pressurised pump, which is not included. The product inlet has a filter net.

What installation does it need?

380 V three-phase power at 50 Hz with 3.5 kW and compressed air with a minimum flow of 200 L/min. It takes 5,375 × 1,900 mm of floor space, is 2,300 mm high and works between 0 and 40 °C.
