15L/20L Semi-Automatic Hopper Type Ex-Proof Pail Filling Machine for Ethanol/Acrylic Resin

Overview:

The 15L/20L Semi-Automatic Hopper Type Ex-Proof Pail Filling Machine is designed for safe and efficient filling of flammable or explosive liquids, such as ethanol, acrylic resin, solvents, fuels, and other hazardous chemicals. This machine complies with ATEX, IECEx, or NEC standards for explosive atmospheres, ensuring operator safety and equipment reliability. It is ideal for small to medium-scale production in industries like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paints, adhesives, and food & beverage.

Key Features:

1. Ex-Proof Design:

• ATEX/IECEx Compliance: Certified for use in Zone 1/21 hazardous environments (flammable liquids).

• Spark-Proof Components: Electrical systems, motors, and controls are explosion-proof and intrinsically safe.

• Static Grounding: Integrated grounding system prevents static buildup during filling.

2. Semi-Automatic Operation:

• Manual Pait Infeed: Operator places the pail under the filling nozzle.

• Automatic Filling: Once the pail is positioned, the machine initiates precise filling.

• Foot Pedal or HMI Control: Start/stop filling via a foot pedal or touchscreen interface.

3. Hopper Type Design:

• Integrated Hopper: A sealed hopper stores the liquid, reducing evaporation and contamination.

• Level Sensors: Prevents overfilling by stopping the flow when the target volume is reached.

• Easy Cleaning: Removable hopper lid and sloped surfaces for quick cleaning and maintenance.

4. Dual Capacity Handling:

• 15L & 20L Pails: Adjustable filling nozzle and height accommodate both 15L and 20L pails.

• Customizable Fill Volumes: Set fill volumes (e.g., 10L, 15L, 20L) via HMI or manual controls.

5. Material Compatibility:

• Ethanol & Acrylic Resin: Suitable for flammable, viscous, and chemically aggressive liquids.

• Stainless Steel Construction: 304/316L stainless steel hopper, pipes, and contact parts for corrosion resistance.

• Chemical-Resistant Seals: PTFE, Viton, or EPDM seals to handle aggressive chemicals.

6. Precision Filling:

• Mass Flow Meter or Volumetric Pump: Accurate fill volumes with ±0.5% precision.

• Adjustable Fill Speed: Controlled flow rate to prevent splashing, foaming, or vapor emission.

• Nitrogen Blanketing (Optional): Inert gas purging to minimize evaporation and oxidation.

7. Safety Features:

• Emergency Stop Button: Immediately halts operation in case of emergencies.

• Overfill Protection: Automatically stops filling if the pail overflows.

• Spill Containment: Drip trays or catch basins collect accidental spills.

• Ventilation Compatibility: Designed for use in well-ventilated areas or with extraction systems.

8. User-Friendly Interface:

• Touchscreen HMI: Intuitive controls for setting fill volumes, speed, and cycle parameters.

• LED Indicators: Visual alerts for fill completion, errors, or maintenance needs.

• Data Logging (Optional): Records fill volumes, batch numbers, and timestamps for traceability.

9. Maintenance & Durability:

• Tool-Free Access: Easy access to hoses, nozzles, and filters for cleaning and replacement.

• Self-Purge Function: Automatically cleans the filling nozzle after each cycle.

• Long-Life Components: Robust gear pumps, valves, and sensors for low maintenance.

Applications:

• Ethanol Filling: For biofuels, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food additives.

• Acrylic Resin Filling: For industrial coatings, adhesives, and polymer manufacturing.

• Solvents & Fuels: Filling flammable liquids like acetone, alcohols, gasoline, and diesel.

• Chemicals & Adhesives: Packaging hazardous or viscous liquids in pails or drums.

• Paints & Coatings: Filling solvent-based or water-based paints and coatings.

Operation Steps:

1. Pait Placement: Operator positions a 15L or 20L pail under the filling nozzle.

2. Start Filling: Activates filling via foot pedal or HMI button.

3. Precision Dispensing: The machine fills the pail to the preset volume, stopping automatically.

4. Pait Removal: Operator removes the filled pail and places it on an outfeed conveyor (optional).

5. Cleanup (Optional): Nozzle self-purging or manual cleaning ensures no cross-contamination.

Benefits:

1. Safety in Hazardous Environments: Ex-proof design ensures compliance with explosive atmosphere regulations.

2. Versatility: Handles both 15L and 20L pails, as well as a wide range of flammable or viscous liquids.

3. Precision & Consistency: Accurate fill volumes reduce product waste and ensure uniform batches.

4. Low Cost of Ownership: Semi-automatic operation minimizes labor costs while maintaining high efficiency.

5. Easy Integration: Compact design fits into existing production lines or stands alone.

6. Reduced Downtime: Quick cleaning and maintenance keep the machine operational.

7. Compliance: Meets ATEX, IECEx, and local explosive atmosphere standards.
