Filling lines for high-value liquids

Automated filling of jerry cans, drums, and IBC containers

Filling solutions designed around your products and packaging

When we design filling technology, we start with your reality: Which liquids are being filled? Which containers are used? What hygiene zones and safety requirements must be respected? And what level of automation and documentation do you require?

The goal is to deliver a hygienic, stable, and fully documented filling process that minimizes product waste and gives you complete control over every filling operation.

Based on these requirements, we typically work with two solution concepts:

  • Filling systems for drums and IBC containers
  • Filling systems for jerry cans

Filling systems for drums and IBC containers

For drums and IBC containers, we design filling lines where hygiene, workplace safety, and automation are key priorities. The focus is on automating as much of the process as possible—from pallet infeed to a sealed container.

A typical system may include:

  • Automatic pallet de-stacking and infeed
  • Controlled transfer between hygiene zones via airlocks
  • Automatic handling of plugs, valves, and lids
  • Filling station with a pressure-controlled atmosphere and optional ventilated enclosure

Hygienic, high-precision filling lines

Filling lines for jerry cans and canisters

For the filling of jerry cans and canisters, we develop filling lines where capacity, precision, and traceability go hand in hand.

The capacity and configuration of the line are tailored to your products, fill volumes, and automation requirements—from simpler layouts to highly integrated solutions.

Typical features and capabilities:

  • Filling accuracy down to approximately 0.2% (depending on the product and system configuration)
  • Capacity of up to approximately 600 jerry cans/canisters per hour
  • Quick changeover between container sizes and product types
  • Bottom-up filling to reduce foaming and ensure gentle product handling
  • Full traceability through RFID tags and barcodes on every container
  • CIP cleaning of filling lances and a washdown-ready design (typically IP66)

Customized filling line for Novozymes (now Novonesis)

When the Danish company Novonesis needed to invest in a new filling line, the requirements for hygiene, precision, and flexibility were so demanding that standard solutions were not sufficient.

What capacity can a filling line be designed for?

Capacity depends on the container type, product characteristics, fill volume, and overall line configuration. As a general guideline, filling lines for jerry cans and canisters can handle up to approximately 600 containers per hour. For larger containers, capacity is typically up to around 40 drums per hour or 12 IBC containers per hour.

The filling lines can be equipped with high-precision, weight-based filling technology. Depending on the product and system configuration, filling accuracy can be as high as approximately ±0.2%.

Yes. The line can be designed for quick changeovers between different sizes of jerry cans, canisters, drums, and IBC containers. The level of changeover flexibility depends on the number of container variants the line must handle and the degree of automation required for the changeover process.
The filling lines can be equipped with bottom-up filling, where the filling lance is lowered into the container and follows the liquid level throughout the filling process. This helps reduce foaming, splashing, and product loss—particularly when handling sensitive or foam-forming liquids.
Yes. The line can record relevant filling data for each individual container, including weight, timestamp, batch number, and process parameters. Traceability can be supported through RFID tags, barcodes, and integration with existing IT, MES, or quality management systems.
How we work

As a Danish, owner-managed machine builder, we take responsibility for the entire solution—from the initial idea through commissioning and ongoing support.

Understanding your requirements:
We begin with a dialogue about your product, packaging, hygiene requirements, and desired level of automation.

Concept development and engineering:
We develop the concept and layout with a focus on production efficiency, workplace safety, product quality, and operational reliability.

Delivery and commissioning:
We manage the entire process, including engineering, manufacturing, testing, FAT, installation, SAT, training, and documentation.
