PULSA-D
Automatic Drum Filling Machine

The PULSA-D is an automatic drum filling machine, designed for high-precision filling of complex liquids (foamy, viscous, or corrosive).

Description:

The PULSA-D is a high-performance drum-by-drum filling and capping machine designed for precise filling of liquid products into drums ranging from 16 to 55 gallons.

Engineered for versatility, it handles a wide range of liquid types (including foamy, viscous, or pasty products) thanks to its programmable diving lance. This improves filling performance for sensitive liquids while minimizing splashing, aeration, and product loss. The PULSA-D also delivers exceptional accuracy, thanks to its integrated weighing scale with real-time control, self-correction, and statistics. These fully automatic drum filling machines also offer greater throughput compared to semi-automatic machinery. There’s no need for human intervention at any stage of the process, meaning an overall boost in efficiency and production capacity.

The modular station layout allows easy customization for filling, capping, tab seal application, and inspection processes, while the programmable diving lance ensures optimal filling, even for sensitive products. This automatic drum filling machine has also a compact footprint.

Common Challenges in High-Speed Drum Filling

Manufacturers who need high-speed drum filling for liquid products face a number of issues. For example, it can be difficult to ensure accurate filling at higher speeds. Certain liquids also may foam or have higher viscosity that can make them more difficult to handle. Filling drums too quickly also can lead to spills that mean wasted product and could impact worker safety in the facility. These are all problems that the PULSA-D automatic liquid filling machine resolves for manufacturers. Through precision automation, this equipment ensures safe, reliable filling for a wide range of liquid types.

Key Points

UP TO 120 CPH
Net-weight filling technology
Minimum product give-away with very high accuracy
Fast format changeover
ExProof, ATEX, IECEx, UL and EC design
Modular layout
Easy customization with operations other than dosing

How Net-Weight Filling Improves Accuracy

The PULSA-D features an integrated weighing scale, real-time controls, and self-correction capabilities. This means every drum is filled to precise weight, which ensures greater accuracy than filling to a certain level inside the drum. Certain liquids may foam or settle after filling, which means filling to a set level may result in inconsistencies across production runs. Net-weight filling solves this concern by ensuring each drum is filled with the same amount of product.

Fully Automated Drum Filling and Capping Process

The automated capabilities of the PULSA-D mean manufacturers can experience a significant reduction of manual labor as well as higher throughput. It can delivers fully automatic filling operations including:

Drum orientation
Debunging
Filling
Bunging
Crimping
Inspection
Transfer between stations

PULSA-D Key Benefits

Automatic filling system: no human intervention
Precise positioning of drums during transfers from station to station (held in place by grippers)
Quick return on investment: no giveaway, high production capacity
Compact design
Modular layout

Thanks to the modular design of the PULSA-D and our entire range of filling and packaging equipment, it’s easy for manufacturers and packagers to customize the setup to fit their exact workflows. Adding filling stations, inspection stations, tab seal application, nitrogen purging, and/or other custom operations is relatively simple and doesn’t require the extensive modifications to machinery that may be required in other systems.
