Product Introduction:
Shanghai Guangzhi specializes in designing and manufacturing high-precision, robust filling machines for industrial containers. Our Drum Filling Machines and IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) Filling Machines are engineered to deliver exceptional accuracy, speed, and safety for diverse industries including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, lubricants, and paints. Whether handling hazardous chemicals requiring stringent safety features or high-viscosity products demanding specialized handling, our solutions enhance production efficiency, minimize waste, and ensure operator safety. We offer both semi-automatic and fully automatic configurations to seamlessly integrate into your production line.
Product Overview:
Guangzhi's filling machines are designed for versatility, reliability, and ease of operation. Key features include:
High Precision Filling: Utilizing advanced flow meters (mass or volumetric) or servo-driven piston technology for exceptional filling accuracy, minimizing product giveaway and ensuring consistency.
Robust Construction: Manufactured primarily from high-grade stainless steel (AISI 304/316) and other corrosion-resistant materials for longevity, especially crucial in harsh chemical environments.
Enhanced Safety: Integrated safety features like grounding systems (for flammable liquids), drip trays, vapor recovery options, splash guards, emergency stop buttons, and safety interlocks (e.g., container presence detection).
Operator Friendly: Intuitive touchscreen HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces), ergonomic height adjustment, easy-to-clean surfaces, and straightforward changeover between container sizes or products.
Flexibility: Capable of handling a wide range of liquid viscosities (from solvents to pastes), container types (open-head, tight-head drums, various IBC designs), and filling volumes. Quick nozzle change options.
Automation Ready: Designed for seamless integration into automated production lines (conveyors, palletizers, labeling systems) via PLC control. Options include automatic container handling (lifting, lowering, positioning).
Compliance Focus: Designed to meet relevant international safety and quality standards (CE Marking standard, ATEX optional for explosive atmospheres, GMP where applicable).

Operational Flow (Typical Semi-Automatic):
Positioning: Operator manually places empty drum/IBC onto filling platform/scales. Platform may auto-adjust height. Grounding clamp attached.
Selection: Operator selects the desired product recipe on the HMI.
Initiation: Operator presses start button (often via foot pedal for hands-free).
Filling: Machine automatically lowers the filling head/nozzle into the container. Filling begins based on the chosen technology (metering, weight-based). Filling speed may be controlled (ramp-up/down).
Completion & Retraction: Upon reaching the precise target weight/volume, filling stops. The nozzle retracts automatically, minimizing drips.
Removal: Operator removes the filled container and positions the next empty one.
