Introducing the Ideal Pase Automatic Gantry-Style Net-Weight Drum & Tote Filling Machine
In the realm of industrial automation, the Ideal Pase Automatic Gantry-Style Net-Weight Drum & Tote Filling Machine stands out as a game-changer. Designed to completely automate your drum and tote filling operations, this machine offers unparalleled efficiency, precision, and safety.
Key Features
- Versatility: The Ideal Pase machine can process palletized metal, plastic, and fiber drums, as well as a wide variety of IBC totes. This flexibility makes it suitable for diverse applications across multiple industries.
- Automated Filling Process: Empty palletized drums are transported to the machine’s scale conveyor, where each drum’s bung is automatically located and removed prior to being net-weight filled. After filling, the bung is automatically re-attached. This process is repeated sequentially until all drums are filled and their bungs re-attached. Torque settings are programmable through the machine’s PLC-based filling recipes, ensuring precise control.
- Integrated Bung Clamping Mechanism: To prevent drum rotation during bung removal and reattachment, an integrated bung clamping mechanism secures the drums.
- Proven Design: The Ideal Pase machine is based on a production-proven gantry-style design that has been successfully operating in production environments for over ten years. Upgrades to mechanical, electrical, and vision subsystems are made as required to ensure improved performance, reliability, and safety.
- Optional Hazardous Environment Package: An innovative auto grounding system for metal drums is available as part of the Hazardous Environment Package for Class 1, Div 1 compliance. This option is fully integrated into the machine’s color touch screen HMI, including real-time grounding status monitoring.
- Tool-less Changeovers: Changeovers to auto IBC tote filling are straightforward and tool-less. The operator simply swaps out the drum end-effector module for the tote end-effector module. After a simple HMI recipe change, the machine is ready to auto fill IBC totes in the same fashion as single drums.
