Palletized Drum and Container Filler

• 304 stainless steel construction (carbon steel construction available)
• Fills any container from 5-gallon to 60" tall IBC's
• PC-based digital weightmeter
• High capacity V-groove roller bearings
• Mechanically actuated drip pan
• Combination roll conveyor/ weighbridge

  The TRI-CAL models TCI-TF55-P/IBC (top fill) and TCI-SS55-P/IBC (subsurface) Palletized Drum fillers provide precise net weight filling of palletized 55-gallon drums, containers and IBC's. These models are specially designed for installations where drums/IBC's are stored, filled, and moved on pallets. Because of their unique lance design, they fill containers up to 20% faster than any fillers previously available. Both are equipped with a fully articulated arm for easy access to all four drums and feature a large flexure base scale to accommodate heavy loads. The controls are positioned next to the fill lance to make them easy to reach when the lance is moved.

Each model includes, as standard features, a foot valve at the tip of the fill lance, an adjustable dribble-flow control and a fume hood. Both models are available with dual-lance construction for filling two non-compatible products and an adjustable dual stanchion for filling different size containers (5 gallon through IBC's). The microcomputer- controlled weightmeter allows simple keyboard data entry and features an easy-to-read display.

With all our fillers and filling systems, we provide design, engineering, assembly, installation and start-up for complete systems, start-to-finish -- including conveying and controls, labeling, and stenciling.

• Hazardous area protection - either type X air purge or NEMA 7 construction.
• Data recording, including full SQC documentation.
• Polymer coating for extremely corrosive environments -- thermal-set powder coating provided by Thermal Polymer Systems of Angleton, Texas.
• Complete conveying systems.
• Fully automatic operation, including automatic bung positioning.
• Near 100% fume and splash containment - includes overfill detection, sealing collar and bellows-enclosed lance assembly.
• Drip pan can be provided with a recycle tray or disposable insert for products that freeze.
• Automatic grounding with cycle interrupt if ground fault occurs.

 Standard Features

• Single control valve with three-stage operation: fast, dribble, and closed.
• Foot valve at tip of fill lance to prevent drips.
• Dribble adjustment - knob adjustment with visual indication of position; adjusts flow rate during dribble cycle.
• Fume skirt with view glass surrounds lance at point of entry.
• Single button control of fill cycle
• Floating lance carriage prevents equipment damage if lance misses bung opening; automatically resets after misalignment is detected. Very low reset pressure (other systems will exert in excess of one hundred pounds of force before they turn around).
• Proximity switches to detect lance position; no pneumatic limit switches or pressure switches to fail; no rollers, cams, or actuators that can get out of adjustment.
