Does the 200L Barrel Production Line have automated production capabilities?

The 200L Barrel Production Line is equipped with an automatic barrel supply device, which accurately transports empty barrels from the warehouse or temporary storage area to the filling station through a conveyor belt or a robotic arm. The system uses photoelectric sensors or mechanical positioning devices to ensure the accurate position of the barrel body and provide a stable foundation for subsequent processes. Using visual port finding technology, the production line identifies the position of the barrel cover through a camera and drives the robotic arm or pneumatic device to automatically open the barrel cover. This technology can adapt to different barrel designs, ensure that the opening success rate exceeds 99%, and avoid errors caused by manual operation.
The filling process uses a flow control valve and a weighing sensor for dual protection. The valve opening is adjusted through a PID algorithm to achieve a filling accuracy of ±0.5%; the weight in the barrel is monitored in real time during the filling process, and the flow deviation is automatically compensated to ensure that the weight error of each barrel is ≤0.2%. The system supports multi-speed filling (such as fast first and then slow), which effectively reduces liquid splashing.
After filling, the cover sorting device arranges the barrel cover in a directional manner through a vibrating plate or a robotic arm and transports it to the locking station. The torque-controllable electric capping machine is used to set the locking parameters according to the barrel cover type to ensure that the sealing meets IP65 or higher standards. For special needs, the production line can be equipped with a waterproof cover pressing module. The pressure sensor monitors the capping force, and the visual inspection system is equipped to review the waterproof cover position. Unqualified products will be automatically removed to the rework area.
The 200L Barrel Production Line uses thermal transfer or laser coding technology to print production date, batch number, QR code and other information on the barrel body. The synchronous labeling machine can paste anti-counterfeiting labels and product description labels with a label position accuracy of ±1mm. Some systems support online data association to achieve traceability of production information. Configure a 6-axis industrial robot or a collaborative robot, and stack the filled barrels according to the preset stacking type (such as nine-square grid, staggered) through teaching programming or AI visual guidance. The stacking height can reach 2.5 meters, and the stability of the stacking type is optimized through mechanical simulation to meet the needs of pallet transportation. The stacked pallets are transferred to the stereoscopic warehouse through AGV or conveyor line. The system can be integrated with WMS to achieve real-time inventory updates and automatic allocation of outbound tasks.
No manual intervention is required from barrel supply to warehousing, and the single-shift production capacity can reach 800-1200 barrels, which is more than 300% more efficient than traditional manual lines. Equipped with liquid level sensors, weighing instruments, visual inspection systems, etc., defective products such as missing, overweight, and skewed labels are eliminated in real time; each barrel production data (such as filling time, operator, and equipment parameters) is automatically uploaded to the MES system to support quality traceability analysis. By replacing molds and adjusting parameters, it is compatible with 180L-220L barrel production; it supports customized filling solutions for corrosive liquids (such as acids and alkalis) and high-viscosity materials (such as grease). The product adopts servo motor drive and variable frequency control technology, which reduces energy consumption by 20% compared with traditional equipment; the equipment status is monitored by IoT sensors to predict bearing wear, seal aging and other faults in advance.
It is used to fill lubricants, coatings, etc., to meet explosion-proof requirements and reduce the risk of manual contact with hazardous chemicals. After a petrochemical enterprise applied it, the filling qualification rate increased from 92% to 99.6%. It is suitable for filling food-grade materials such as edible oil and syrup, and meets GMP standards. A beverage company uses an automatic cleaning system and aseptic filling module to achieve rapid switching of different products on the production line. Standardized palletizing and palletized transportation reduce storage space by 30% and improve the efficiency of third-party logistics docking. A logistics company reported that the damage rate of barrels produced by the automated line is less than 0.1%.
