Drum filling machinery

200 litre drum filling machines for chemicals, oils and industrial liquids.

200 litre drum filling needs a robust specification around product supply, fill control, lance/nozzle access, drum handling and operator safety. The machinery route will depend on accuracy, cycle time, product viscosity and whether the line handles other pack sizes.

  • Product compatibility review
  • Container, cap and output matched together
  • Filling, capping and labelling options considered as one line

What to check

Build the specification around the liquid and pack.

200 litre drum filling needs a robust specification around product supply, fill control, lance/nozzle access, drum handling and operator safety. The machinery route will depend on accuracy, cycle time, product viscosity and whether the line handles other pack sizes.

Before a machine is shortlisted, the product data, fill volume, container shape, cap or closure, batch size and target output should be reviewed together. This helps avoid choosing equipment that fills the liquid but struggles with the finished pack.

Important quotation points

  • Confirm drum type, bung opening, pallet layout and fill weight.
  • Review pump rate, weight control and cut-off accuracy.
  • Check hose, seal and nozzle compatibility with the product.
  • Consider bunding, splash control and safe access to drum tops.

FAQ

200 Litre Drum Filling Machines UK questions

Can 200L drums be filled accurately?

Yes, usually through weight-controlled or metered filling depending on product and accuracy target.

Can drums be filled with viscous oils?

Yes, pump selection and cycle time should be matched to viscosity and temperature.

Can ATEX be considered for solvent drums?

Yes, flammable products require ATEX and site safety review.
