BPCL (Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited) installed in Kochi (India) 4 fully automatic lines for drum filling. Bharat Petroleum is one of the largest companies in India and they installed 4 lines which had 4 Robot Fillers each one.

4 Robot Fillers for drum filling

BPCL installed 4 identical lines for drum filling. Each line had 4 Robot Fillers, and they were joined by conveying lines.

Each line was composed of an input area with chain conveyors with capacity for 5 pallets. After this, we had a first Robot which uncaps the drums, after this station, pallets go to both sides into 2 Robot Fillers, which filled the drums. After the drum filling, the pallets go to a last Robot which caps and seals the drums. Caps arrive at the Robot through a belt from the first Robot until the last one. After the last RF, the pallet goes into the output area with capacity for 7 pallets. A labelling system was also installed after the capping and sealing station.

In this line in which each RF has a different function, drum filling productions is assured and this way plant efficiency is improved.

The Robot Filler model is designed for high productions featuring a high level of automation. It also allows much flexibility in changing the type of container. It is suitable for filling drums, IBC, canisters and pails directly on pallets (from 20 to 1500 litres containers). Using the artificial 3D view provides full adaptability and flexibility, reduction of unexpected stops and minimum spare part stock.

Robot Filler benefits:

• Filling process directly in palletized containers.
• To achieve high reliability and safety throughout the drum filling process.
• Become a leading and innovative company.
• Get the maximum level of automation and reliability in your production plant. 
• Take care of your operations team, product, and environment.

In conclusion, installing a fully automated system like our Robot Filler offers significant advantages for drum filling operations. The automation streamlines the entire process, leading to higher precision, consistency, and efficiency in filling drums. It eliminates human error, reduces labour costs, and increases production speed, allowing for seamless operation with minimal supervision. Moreover, the Robot Filler system enhances safety by minimizing manual handling of potentially hazardous materials. Overall, adopting a 100% automated drum filling solution boosts productivity, ensures accuracy, and provides a reliable, cost-effective solution for industrial filling needs.
