This basic semi-automatic pail filling machine was designed for top and sub-surface pail filling for 1 to 7 gallon containers up to 19″ tall. The machine will typically use from 3/4″ dia. up to a 1.9” diameter lance depending on the bung opening of the containers.

The application shown above is a free-running, push-along system with five components;

• Gravity roller infeed accumulation conveyor
• Model PF-510 semi-automatic, top and sub-surface pail filler
• Gravity roller conveyor on the scale
• Gravity roller conveyor after the filler for a lid and label station
• Gravity roller discharge accumulation conveyor

This is a model PF-510 top and a sub-surface filling machine.

• Empty containers are placed onto the infeed conveyor to accumulate
• The operator pulls a container onto the filling station and presses start
• The lance will insert to the bottom of the container, if sub-surface filling
• The controller will zero the tare weight before the fill cycle begins
• When the fill cycle is complete, the lance will rise to its home position
• A pneumatic drip pan will move into place to catch any residue
• The operator will move the filled container to the lid station
• Another empty pail will be pulled onto the scale conveyor
