End-to-End Integration ? 99.5% Uptime ? ATEX/ISO Certified
Turnkey Solution for 200L Drums & 1,000L IBC Totes
Shanghai Guangzhi Automation’s GZ-StreamLine Series revolutionizes bulk liquid handling with a synchronized conveyorized filling system that automates loading, filling, capping, and palletizing of drums and IBCs. Engineered for hazardous environments (Zone 1/21), this solution slashes labor costs by 80%, boosts throughput by 300%, and achieves ±0.15% filling accuracy – all while ensuring zero spills or ignition risks.

(Visual: Integrated workflow from empty container intake to filled pallet output)
Container Intake
Auto-Detection: Laser scanners identify drum/IBC type (steel/plastic/composite).
Orientation: Rotary aligner positions barcodes for scanning.
Pre-Fill Station
Grounding Check: Measures resistance (<10 Ω) for flammable liquids.
Nitrogen Purging (Optional): Reduces O? to <5% for pyrophorics.
Precision Filling
Multi-Head Fillers: Gravimetric (drums) + Coriolis flow meters (IBCs).
Vapor Recovery: Sealed system captures >99% VOCs.
Post-Fill Process
Capping/Lidding: Robotic arm installs bungs or IBC caps.
Palletizing: AGV-compatible conveyor to stretch wrapper.
