MAX-DRUM-MSGF+YJ Semi-Automatic 5-15kg Grease Drum Filling Machine | High-Precision Barrel Filling Solution
The MAX-DRUM-MSGF+YJ is a semi-automatic drum filling machine engineered specifically for medium to high-viscosity grease and sealant products, with adjustable filling volumes from 5kg to 15kg. This system integrates a dedicated 200L barrel presser designed to work with externally ribbed/ring-reinforced drums—the most common grease storage containers in industrial settings.
This machine efficiently extracts and fills a wide range of products including lithium-based grease, mineral oil grease, heavy-duty grease, marine grease, bearing grease, complex grease, and white/transparent/blue greases. It also handles silicone sealant, PU sealant, MS sealant, adhesives, and butyl sealant with equal precision. Typical applications span automotive manufacturing, machinery processing, marine maintenance, and construction industries.

How It Works & Structural Advantages
The system operates through a pneumatic control system that extracts material from a 200L standard drum using the specialized presser, precisely meters it through a precision measuring cylinder, and then dispenses it into target containers (small pails, cartridges, pails, or bags).
1. Specialized 200L Drum Presser
The presser plate is custom-engineered to fit tightly against the inner wall of externally ribbed/ring-reinforced drums—a design that addresses a common pain point in the industry. This ensures:
Minimal material residue (less than 2-3% waste)
Consistent feed pressure even as the drum empties
Stable filling accuracy throughout the entire drum usage cycle
2. High-Precision Metering System
The built-in measuring cylinder with electronic adjustment delivers:
Accuracy of ±0.5% for most grease formulations
Quick changeover between different fill weights via the touchscreen interface
Repeatable results batch after batch
3. Fully Pneumatic (Explosion-Proof) Design
With no electrical actuators in the filling zone, the MAX-DRUM-MSGF+YJ offers:
Intrinsic safety in Class I, Division 1 or Zone 1 hazardous locations
Reliable operation even in humid, dusty, or washdown environments
Simpler maintenance compared to electrically-driven alternatives
4. Broad Material Compatibility
The machine handles viscosities ranging from flowable sealants to heavy, non-flowing greases, making it a versatile investment for facilities with multiple product lines.
