Rugged automatic drum filler

Paul Boughton
An automatic drum filler, designed to convert from 55 to five gallon jugs/pails, has been introduced by Specialty Equipment.

The new unit, Model ADO-5520, is a dual-lance filler that automatically rotates each drum, locates and aligns the bung openings, positions each drum at six o’clock, then shuttles them to the fill station where the tare and filling is also automatic.

When converted to a twin pail filler, by a selector switch, this machine indexes two containers directly to the fill station then tares and fills two five-gallon jugs, simultaneously. The fill rate is eight pails per minute.

Standard construction material is rugged, all-welded, structural steel with 316 stainless for wetted parts.

Additional standard equipment includes a drum indexer, a drum rotator, pneumatic locator, conveyors, and a flip-down twin pail indexer.
