Weighing Barrel Filling Machine 200-600 BPH

The Barrel Filling Machine is designed for accurate weight-controlled filling of lubricating oil, engine oil, motor oil and other industrial liquids into 5–30L barrels or drums. The MIC-ZF-4 uses a four-head weighing system to monitor filling weight and automatically stop filling when the preset target is reached. With a production capacity of 200–600 barrels/hour and filling accuracy of ≥99%, it provides a practical solution for lubricant manufacturers that need stable output, reduced product waste and repeatable filling results.

Core Technical Parameters

The MIC-ZF-4 is a four-head weighing filling machine developed for medium-capacity industrial liquid packaging. Its weighing system measures the product during filling rather than relying only on a preset filling time, helping operators maintain consistent target weight across production batches.

Application Scenarios

Lubricating Oil and Engine Oil Filling

The MIC-ZF-4 is suitable for filling products such as lubricating oil, engine oil and motor oil into medium-size barrels. MIC's lube oil production line information specifically describes weighing filling for machine oil, lubricant oil, motor oil and engine oil.

The weighing method is particularly useful when the filling specification is defined by target weight. Operators can set the required filling value and allow the weighing system to control the stopping point.

Industrial Liquid Packaging

Beyond lubricant applications, the machine can be configured for other industrial liquids where weight-controlled filling is required. Suitability depends on viscosity, density, container dimensions, chemical compatibility and the required filling specification.

For customers planning a complete lubricant packaging project, see the Experienced supplier of lube oil production line for a complete filling, capping and labeling workflow.

Medium-Volume Barrel Filling

With a 5–30L filling range and 200–600 barrels/hour production capacity, the MIC-ZF-4 is positioned between small-scale filling equipment and higher-capacity multi-head systems. The container dimensions listed by MIC are 180–300 mm in length, 120–250 mm in width and 280–450 mm in height.

This configuration is appropriate for lubricant manufacturers that need automated filling for standardized barrels while retaining flexibility for different container specifications.

Matching Production Line

Automatic Capping and Sealing

After weighing filling, barrels can be transferred to an automatic capping station for consistent cap positioning and sealing. MIC provides an Experienced supplier of seal cap machine, cap sealing machine, automatic bottle cap sealing machine for integration with filling and packaging systems.

Connecting the filling and capping processes reduces manual handling and creates a more continuous packaging workflow.

Oil Bottle Labeling

Following capping, an automatic labeling system can apply product labels to the filled containers. MIC's Experienced supplier of honey labeling machine, olive oil labeling machine, oil bottle labeling machine provides a related packaging solution for oil containers.

A typical lubricant packaging sequence can therefore be configured as:

Barrel Feeding → Weighing Filling → Capping → Labeling → Inspection → Packing

The exact line configuration can be adjusted according to barrel dimensions, filling product, production target and factory layout. MIC's lube oil production line describes an integrated workflow covering filling, capping, labeling and subsequent packaging.

How the Weighing Barrel Filling Machine Works

The MIC-ZF-4 uses a straightforward weight-control process:

1. Barrel Infeed
Empty barrels enter the machine through the conveyor system and are positioned at the filling station.

2. Container Detection
Photoelectric detection confirms the container position before the filling cycle begins.

3. Weighing Initialization
The weighing system establishes the measurement condition before product delivery.

4. Four-Head Filling
The filling heads deliver lubricant or another compatible liquid into the barrels.

5. Weight Monitoring
The weighing sensor continuously monitors the increasing product weight.

6. Automatic Stop
When the preset target weight is reached, the filling system stops automatically.

7. Product Transfer
The filled barrels move toward the downstream capping, labeling or packing equipment.

This operating principle allows the filling process to be controlled by actual product weight rather than only by filling time. MIC's published lube oil line information also describes weighing filling in which the machine stops once the preset weight is reached.

Certifications & Factory Strength

MIC Machinery provides filling and packaging equipment for lubricant, chemical, food and other industrial applications. The company website maintains dedicated product, production-line, service and certification resources, including a Patent CE section.

For a complete project, equipment configuration can be developed around the customer's product, container, target capacity and factory layout. This allows the Barrel Filling Machine to operate as an individual filling unit or as part of a complete lubricant packaging line.

For projects requiring specific certification, electrical standards, product-contact materials or customized safety requirements, the applicable documentation and configuration should be confirmed with MIC before order placement.

Why Choose MIC-ZF-4?

The MIC-ZF-4 combines four-head filling, load-cell weighing and automated control in one industrial filling system. Its 200–600 barrels/hour capacity, 5–30L filling range and ≥99% published filling accuracy make it suitable for lubricant manufacturers seeking controlled medium-volume production.

The machine can also be integrated with capping and labeling equipment to create a complete packaging workflow. For customers producing engine oil, motor oil, lubricating oil or similar industrial liquids, MIC can develop the filling configuration around the required barrel size, filling weight, production target and downstream packaging process.
