The challenge
Indian Oil needed to fill motor and lubricant oils into 200-litre metal drums continuously, with no operator handling of the product and every drum reclosed and sealed.
The solution
Automatic Drum Filling Machine EL2-B-4 in Production — Motor Oil, Indian Oil (IOCL)
An EL2-B with four stations; on every cycle all drums move forward one station. At the first, the drum turns while sensors find the bunghole and the cap is removed; a conveyor carries that cap to the last station, so each drum is closed with its own cap. The second station fills about 90% of the target at high flow on a load cell; the third adds the rest slowly to reach ±0.1%. At the fourth, a cone re-centres the drum, the cap is screwed to a controlled torque and a metal seal is fitted.
The result
Continuous, hands-off drum filling for a large oil company, with each drum uncapped, filled, recapped and sealed on one machine.
