FATEK Automation Corporation

The drum filling machine project originates from the demand for efficient, precise, and safe liquid filling in industries such as petrochemicals, edible oils, and lubricants. Traditional manual filling methods suffer from low efficiency, leakage risks, inaccurate measurement, and safety concerns, while automated filling equipment significantly improves production efficiency and accuracy, reduces waste, and complies with environmental and workplace safety requirements.

With advancements in industrial automation, companies increasingly prefer intelligent filling systems to reduce labor costs, enhance filling consistency, and adapt to liquids of varying viscosities. The drum filling machine utilizes core components such as FATEK PLC control, servo drives, high-precision flow meters, and automated valves to achieve rapid positioning, precise filling, drip prevention, and data logging. This meets the high standards of modern production while helping businesses optimize workflows and enhance market competitiveness

This solution adopts the FATEK PLC as the core control system, combined with dedicated communication modules to achieve efficient data exchange with inverters, ensuring stable and reliable filling processes. The system integrates high-precision weighing modules to monitor filling weight in real time and provide feedback to the PLC for dynamic adjustment, effectively ensuring filling consistency. The human-machine interface (HMI) utilizes the FATEK P5 series, offering an intuitive operation experience with support for recipe management, production data logging, and system alarm functions, significantly improving equipment operability.

The drive section employs general-purpose inverters to control the filling motor, enabling smooth speed regulation and soft start/stop, balancing both production efficiency and equipment lifespan. Through optimized control programs, the system achieves a good balance between filling speed and measurement accuracy, meeting various operational requirements. The solution adopts a modular architecture design, facilitating system maintenance and functional expansion, while the compact electrical layout reduces installation complexity, helping customers save overall costs.

The system supports intelligent functions such as automatic tare, quantitative control, and production traceability, and is adaptable to various container specifications. It is suitable for automated filling applications involving lubricants, edible oils, and chemical liquids. Based on stable performance, reasonable component selection, and system optimization, this solution provides customers with a cost-effective and practical automated filling solution.
