A major Danish enzyme manufacturer decided to fill its products with Feige's Robot Filler. The so-called twin robots are actually two 91-type robot filling machines, which form the core of the equipment and implement the filling process on the gantry device through the conveying technology.
Feige has developed a series of flexible and powerful devices called Robot Filler. Robot Filler is suitable for filling tanks, cylinders, drums and IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers) with sizes ranging from 10 to 1500 kg. These containers can be placed separately on the raceway or transported in batches on pallets. The flexibility of filling liquid and paste products is achieved by using a six-axis robot. The real-time image processing system automatically identifies the position of the filling port and directs the robot to the working position. With the Robot Filler, it is possible to fill up to 60 200L barrels per hour. In addition, the system offers new possibilities for filling by gravity.
Figure 1 The new Robot Filler automatically fills liquid or paste products into containers such as barrels and cans.
Structural model for different purposes
Robot Filler currently includes four structural models:
(1) Portal type structure: In this structure, the Robot Filler's working position is located on a gantry unit above the conveyor system (Fig. 3).
(2) Mobile feed type: installed next to the conveyor system.
(3) Independent type without conveyor system: empty drums must be transported by ground conveyors.
(4) Powerful type: The powerful type uses two industrial robots with common control devices. In this way, the processes (opening, filling, sealing and fixing) can be carried out separately and simultaneously. Robot Filler has the flexibility of a traditional pallet filling robot to achieve the efficiency of a single barrel filling machine.
Figure 3 The core of the installation equipment of a Danish enzyme manufacturer is two Robot Fillers, which control the fully automated filling process on the gantry by conveyor technology.
In addition, Robot Filler takes into account the important safety aspects of the work location and provides comfortable operation. For example, in a filling company, different products are transported to the filling equipment through various pipes and the filling process is completed on each filling valve (Fig. 2 and Fig. 5), so that the filling valve can be automated. Switch.
Figure 2 The valve column is equipped with different Robot Filler filling valves for automatic product change.

In addition, this technology can also be used to safely enclose and evacuate the entire filling area. This way the operator has no contact with the filling product and some of the explosive or toxic gases.
Robot Filler can also be used for filling below the level. The long nose bend of the filling valve penetrates deep into the bottom of the container and remains sneaked, and the product level rises upwards.
Filling under elevation to prevent gas formation
Filling at an elevation can minimize foaming or generate explosive gases. The upward movement can be adjusted by the increase in the weight of the tub. Robot Filler can control the upward movement very harmoniously, because this industrial robot has good motion dynamics through its servo drive shaft.
The Danish enzyme manufacturer uses five different types of barrels to fill its products, including barrels (120L and 216.5L) and IBC (600L, 800L and 1000L). The empty buckets are stored in the bucket area of ​​the empty bucket warehouse in the form of multiple layers (4 IBCs per stack). The warehouse has a total of 56 locations and its capacity can store 224 empty pallets.
The demolition unit takes the bucket from the tray
A new demolition unit is arranged in front of the filling area, and the demolition unit can separate the barrel or the tray. The feeding and discharging areas in front of the filling area are equipped with material entry and exit gates, which are responsible for the necessary isolation of the filling area from the stock area.
At the heart of the device is a pair of twin robots: two Type 91 Robot Fillers that control the fully automatic filling process on the gantry unit via conveyor technology. The filling space provided by the customer is extremely small, and it is impossible to install traditional filling equipment at all; and the enzyme and enzyme steam will have a sensitive influence on the operator, so the filling area and the surrounding normal environment must be ensured throughout the filling process. Isolation, implementation of full automation. The decisive reason for using Robot Filler is that it can be replaced automatically, without requiring the operator to intervene in the equipment or filling area, just select a new set of data on the operating touch screen. During this time, the filling valve can be fully automated – in-place cleaning (CIP).
The twin robot can process the bucket at the same time and implement the following work steps:
(1) Identify the location of the filling port (Figure 6).
(2) Unscrew the lid.
(3) Filling the bucket under the elevation (gravity control).
(4) Tighten the lid.
(5) Lock (seal) the barrel with a metal sealing cover.
Figure 6 Robot Filler with camera system is very flexible, can fill, open and seal the barrel on the tray
The work steps can also be carried out in a single barrel, as required, so that each of these steps is carried out separately for each barrel.
Figure 4 This system is used for automatic stacking of filling tanks
All finished barrels leave the filling area through the material gate after filling and sealing. There is a rotary table to automatically label the tray (Figure 4). There are a total of 17 cargo operation points in the acceptance area. The entrance and exit of the barrel or pallet is completed by a wireless remote control system installed on the forklift.
