Industrial oils, solvents and technical chemicals are mostly shipped in 200-litre drums and 1000-litre IBC tanks. At these volumes, measuring the fill quantity accurately reduces both product loss and the safety risks of overfilling.
Drum and IBC filling
The Türesan drum filling machine controls the fill quantity in large containers with a flowmeter and load cell-supported filling system. The single-nozzle design works in the 200–1000 litre range. For smaller packages, see the engine oil and jerrycan filling page.

Safety and automation
Manual filling of chemical products is risky for operator safety and causes product loss. Türesan automatic filling and packaging lines are designed with materials suited to the chemical properties of the product, for capacities in the range of 1,000–20,000 units per hour. For capping, gripper, three-ball, pick & place, flat clamping, rolling and press systems are available, driven by servo torque, asynchronous motor, mechanical torque or air motor. Caps are fed to the station by an elevator, vibratory bowl or rotary table.
