Filling and emptying barrels

Our systems impress with their flexibility and modern technology. They adapt to different barrel sizes and individual production requirements, ensuring seamless integration into existing lines. A dust- and gas-free system with the appropriate extraction improves air quality and minimizes health risks. The automated systems increase efficiency, reduce errors and increase product quality. Seamless integration into existing systems allows for continuous production without downtime.

IFA Technology has developed customized solutions for a wide range of applications, covering a variety of raw materials. These include pasty media, hazardous powders and highly flammable liquids. We have developed specific solutions for emptying and filling barrels that are tailored to the special requirements of these materials, ensuring maximum efficiency, safety and precision in the respective processes.

Execution options

The barrel filling and emptying stations offer various design options to meet the individual requirements of your company. The options available include:

Depending on the application, we offer barrel handling systems made of robust mild steel or corrosion-resistant stainless steel. These materials ensure a long service life and resistance to aggressive chemicals and other demanding production conditions.

For handling flammable liquids, we offer explosion-proof barrel filling and emptying stations that meet all ATEX (EU) and IECEx (international) guidelines. These systems ensure maximum protection when handling hazardous or explosive liquids.

Our systems are equipped with effective dust extraction devices that ensure a clean working environment and minimize health risks. This is particularly important in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries, where a clean production environment is essential.

We offer you the option of designing your drum handling stations to be fully automated. An automated drum handling station ensures precise quantity measurement and filling, reduces the amount of manual work required and optimizes the entire production process.

Our barrel filling and emptying stations can be customized to your specific needs. From tailor-made dosing systems to special level indicators, we offer solutions that make your production efficient and safe.

Safety and environmental protection are our top priorities. Our stations comply with ATEX and IECEx guidelines and the German Water Resources Act (WHG). This guarantees safe handling of hazardous substances. Important safety functions monitor the entire process from filling to emptying.

Security characteristics

Our barrel stations are equipped with leak detection systems that trigger immediate alarms if a leak occurs. This minimizes the risk of accidents and environmental damage.

For the processing of flammable liquids, we offer explosion-proof solutions that meet all safety requirements.

To control dust and vapors, we integrate effective extraction and filtration systems that ensure a clean and safe environment.

Our systems are equipped with overfill protection devices that prevent uncontrolled filling and thus reduce potential hazards.
