The Eagle Filling Line XL is a fully automatic filling machine designed for the efficient and accurate filling of drums and IBCs

One of the greatest advantages of the Eagle Filling Line XL is the full automation of the filling process. The operator simply selects the desired recipe and the number of containers via the easy-to-use touchscreen. The system features pre-programmed recipes, allowing the operator to switch easily between different production lines.

Thanks to the ability to link the machine to an ERP system, the filling process can be seamlessly integrated into existing business software and production processes. Once the correct recipe has been selected, the rest of the process is carried out automatically. The machine’s vision system accurately detects the opening of the package, after which the filling head (lance) descends into the package via a servo-controlled movement. This ensures that each package is filled with precision.

Precise and efficient filling with the dosing system

The Eagle Filling Line XL uses a ‘coarse/fine/coarse’ dosing system to ensure a high degree of accuracy during filling. The process begins with an initial rapid dosing below the target level to fill the container quickly, followed by a more precise dosing to ensure that the exact quantity of liquid is dispensed. This approach minimises waste and increases efficiency. The machine is therefore ideal for products that require precise filling.

Suitable for a wide range of products

A key advantage is that a variety of liquids can be processed with precision. Whether dealing with chemical liquids (flammable substances, corrosive chemicals or ink and paint components) or food products, the Eagle Filling Line XL can be adapted to your specific requirements. This makes it possible to handle multiple product lines without compromising on precision or efficiency. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that need to switch quickly between different product types.

Safety first

The highest safety standards form the basis for the design of the Eagle Filling Line XL. The machine is equipped with multiple safety features, including an automatic emergency stop and safety guards. This ensures effective protection for both the machine and the operators. The machine’s high reliability ensures that your production process runs smoothly and without interruptions, even during intensive use.

The machine has a robust stainless steel frame and is easy to clean. After all, hygiene and ease of maintenance are key factors. This means the machine can be cleaned quickly and easily between product changes. This contributes to an efficient production process without unnecessary downtime.

Furthermore, the safety measures are designed to comply with current regulations, giving businesses peace of mind during their production activities. This allows you to focus on your core processes, whilst the Eagle Filling Line XL ensures a safe working environment.

Option possibilities

The Eagle Filling Line XL can be customised and expanded with various options. Depending on your specific production requirements, some of the possible extensions include:

• Lance cleaning (internal and external options available); CIP system
• Centralised/point extraction
• ATEX
• Additional filling lances
• CIP skid
• Nitrogen supply during filling
• Infeed/outfeed conveyors
• Platforms

Using various modules, the Eagle Filling Line XL can even be expanded into a complete filling line. This makes it possible to automate the logistics processes surrounding the filling operation as well. This results in a fully integrated production line in which not only the filling but also the supply and removal of packaging are carried out automatically.
