Industrial chemicals need a filling system that matches the liquid, container, production speed, and working environment. Therefore, choosing the right chemical filling machine is important for both filling control and safe operation.
그 GLZON 5L–30L chemical filling machine fills chemical liquids into jerry cans, HDPE canisters, plastic cans, and other industrial containers. Moreover, customers can choose a semi-automatic or automatic system according to their production needs.
For applications that involve flammable liquids or hazardous production areas, GLZON can provide an EX-proof chemical filling machine with suitable explosion-protected electrical components. However, every chemical and installation area has different safety requirements. Therefore, customers should provide the chemical SDS/MSDS and hazardous-area information before GLZON confirms the final machine design.
Typical applications include solvents, detergents, industrial cleaners, lubricants, certain acids, disinfectants, agrochemicals, and paint-related liquids.
What Is a 5L–30L Chemical Filling Machine?
A 5L to 30L chemical filling machine controls the amount of liquid that enters each container. Instead of filling containers manually, the machine measures the product and stops filling when it reaches the target amount.
For example, a weighing filling system places the container on a weighing platform. The system then monitors the weight throughout the filling process.
A typical chemical filling machine may include:
- Weighing filling system
- Fast and slow filling control
- Anti-drip filling nozzle
- PLC control
- HMI touch screen
- EX-proof electrical control box
- Container positioning system
- Conveyor
- Optional capping machine
- Optional labeling machine
In addition, GLZON can adjust the machine according to the customer’s container, liquid, and production requirements.
Suitable Jerry Cans and Chemical Containers
The machine supports different industrial container styles from approximately 5L to 30L. However, customers should provide container dimensions before production because container height, width, and opening size can vary.
5L Jerry Can
A 5L jerry can works well for specialty chemicals, cleaning products, lubricants, chemical additives, and other industrial liquids.
10L Chemical Jerry Can
Manufacturers often use 10L containers for cleaners, chemical concentrates, lubricants, and industrial chemical products.
20L Jerry Can
그 20L chemical jerry can is a common industrial packaging format. For example, manufacturers use it for chemicals, solvents, oils, detergents, and cleaning liquids.
25L Chemical Can
A 25L chemical filling machine can fill HDPE cans, plastic jerry cans, and other suitable industrial containers.
30L Plastic Jerry Can
A 30L jerry can offers more product capacity while still providing a practical industrial package.
The filling machine can also handle suitable:
- HDPE chemical containers
- Plastic canisters
- Square jerry cans
- Rectangular chemical cans
- Stackable jerry cans
- Industrial plastic canisters
Before machine production, customers should send container photos, dimensions, opening diameter, and cap information.
EX-Proof Chemical Filling Machine
Some chemicals release flammable vapors. As a result, normal electrical equipment may not suit certain production areas.
For these projects, GLZON can provide an EX-proof filling machine with suitable electrical protection.
Depending on the project, the EX-proof design may cover:
- Electrical control box
- HMI control system
- Electrical switches
- Sensors
- Electrical connections
- Motors
- Other electrical parts in the filling area
However, an EX-proof machine does not automatically suit every hazardous application.
The correct design depends on several factors. Therefore, customers should provide:
- Chemical name
- SDS/MSDS
- Flash point
- Operating temperature
- Production environment
- Hazardous-area classification
- Local project requirements
With this information, GLZON can select a more suitable filling and electrical configuration.
EX-Proof Control Box and HMI
The actual photos on this page show the GLZON EX-proof control box used with chemical filling equipment.
The control system includes an HMI touch screen. Therefore, operators can use the interface to manage important filling settings and machine functions.
For example, the control system may manage:
- Filling start and stop
- Target filling amount
- Fast filling
- Slow filling
- Filling status
- Container detection
- Alarm information
- Emergency stop
In addition, the internal control-box photo shows the electrical arrangement inside the cabinet. This real machine photo gives buyers a clearer view of the equipment before they request a quotation.
How Does the Chemical Jerry Can Filling Process Work?
The filling process is simple.
First, the operator or conveyor moves an empty jerry can to the filling position.
Next, the system confirms the container position.
Then, the filling nozzle starts dispensing the chemical.
During the main filling stage, the machine uses a faster filling rate. However, as the product approaches the target weight, the system changes to a slower filling stage.
Finally, the machine stops filling when the container reaches the target amount.
Therefore, a typical process follows:
Container Positioning → Fast Filling → Slow Filling → Target Weight → Filling Stop
This two-stage filling method can help reduce product overshoot and improve filling consistency.
Suitable Chemicals and Liquids
A chemical liquid filling machine can handle many types of industrial liquids. However, GLZON must first confirm the compatibility between the liquid and the product-contact parts.
Solvents
A solvent filling machine may need additional safety features because some solvents produce flammable vapors.
Therefore, the machine design may need to consider:
- EX-proof electrical equipment
- Grounding
- Static electricity
- Vapor conditions
- Filling method
Customers should provide the solvent SDS/MSDS before machine selection.
Acids
An acid filling machine needs suitable product-contact materials.
For example, material selection depends on:
- Acid type
- Concentration
- Temperature
- Corrosion level
- Seal compatibility
- Hose compatibility
Therefore, GLZON selects the contact materials according to the actual chemical rather than using one material for every acid.
Detergents and Cleaning Chemicals
The filling machine can also handle suitable:
- Industrial detergents
- Liquid cleaners
- Degreasers
- Cleaning concentrates
- Commercial cleaning liquids
In addition, the filling nozzle and feeding system can match the product viscosity.
Bleach and Disinfectants
Bleach and disinfectant formulations vary. Therefore, customers should provide the product information before GLZON selects seals, hoses, valves, and other contact parts.
Agrochemicals
Manufacturers can also use a chemical jerry can filling machine for suitable liquid agrochemicals.
For example, customers may package these products in 5L, 10L, 20L, or 25L HDPE containers.
Lubricants
The machine can also fill suitable lubricant products, such as:
- Engine oil
- Hydraulic oil
- Gear oil
- Industrial lubricants
However, viscosity affects the filling speed. Therefore, customers should provide viscosity information when requesting a quotation.
Paint-Related Chemicals
Certain coatings, thinners, and related liquids also require chemical filling equipment. In these cases, GLZON selects the filling method according to viscosity, chemical properties, and safety requirements.
Weighing Chemical Filling System
For many industrial jerry can applications, weighing filling provides a practical filling method.
The machine measures the amount of product by weight. Therefore, it can control the target filling quantity without relying only on container volume.
A weighing filling system can provide several benefits:
- Consistent filling
- Better control of product giveaway
- Less unnecessary overfilling
- Easy target-weight adjustment
- Support for different container sizes
However, actual filling performance depends on the product, filling amount, supply pressure, and machine setup.
Anti-Drip Filling Nozzle
Chemical filling can become messy if liquid continues to drip after the machine stops.
Therefore, GLZON can use an anti-drip filling nozzle to improve the filling process.
The nozzle can help:
- Reduce dripping
- Reduce product loss
- Keep containers cleaner
- Keep the filling area cleaner
- Reduce unnecessary chemical contact
In addition, GLZON can select different nozzle designs according to the liquid viscosity, foaming behavior, and container opening.
Chemical Compatibility and Contact Materials
Choosing suitable product-contact materials is an important part of chemical filling machine design.
Different chemicals react differently with metals, plastics, seals, and hoses. Therefore, one material cannot suit every chemical.
GLZON considers factors such as:
- Chemical composition
- Concentration
- Temperature
- Viscosity
- Corrosion
- Solvent properties
- Seal compatibility
For aggressive chemicals, the machine may require special corrosion-resistant or polymer contact components.
Therefore, customers should provide an SDS/MSDS before GLZON confirms the final machine specification.
Semi-Automatic Chemical Filling Machine
A semi-automatic chemical filling machine provides a flexible solution for small and medium production volumes.
For example, an operator can place the empty jerry can on the filling station. Then, the machine controls the actual filling process.
This configuration may suit companies that:
- Fill several container sizes
- Change products often
- Have moderate production volumes
- Need flexible operation
- Want to replace manual filling
Moreover, companies can upgrade their production later by adding conveyors or other equipment.
Automatic Chemical Filling Machine
Companies with higher production requirements may prefer an automatic chemical filling machine.
In this case, conveyors can automatically move containers between production stations.
For example, a complete line may follow:
Container Feeding → Chemical Filling → Capping → Labeling → Finished Product Conveying
In addition, GLZON can select the line configuration according to the container, cap type, and required production speed.
