In-line weight filler for drums and kegs
Achieve precise and efficient weight-based filling for large liquid containers, ensuring high accuracy and reduced product waste across semi-automatic and automatic operations.
Fills Drums and Kegs with Precision
The Libra LT from OCME is a modular in-line weight filler designed for filling drums and kegs with high accuracy. Utilizing OCME’s patented CPFP (Control Pressure Fine Phase) system, this equipment ensures precise weight-based filling, unaffected by supply pressure fluctuations, making it ideal for applications in the beverage, food, personal care, and industrial lubricant sectors. It accommodates large containers like 200-liter drums and 60-liter kegs, offering production speeds of 20 to 150 containers per hour depending on automation level. Constructed with a painted steel base and stainless steel parts in contact with the product, Libra LT combines durability with corrosion resistance. Its design includes options like bottom filling with a motorized nozzle carriage and an electro-pneumatic safety device to prevent over-filling. Libra LT integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, providing efficient and controlled filling solutions for diverse liquid products such as fruit juice concentrate, motor oil, and liquid detergents.
