The basic system consists of 4 bitumen pumps which are controlled by a Distributed Computer Control System. A set of four drums per pallet is loaded by forklift onto the filling platform, the operator aligns the nozzles, closes the protective cover and presses the start button.The controllers monitor bitumen temperature and control the pump speed (in Litres/minute), and pumped volume for each batch. All data and alarms are logged and stored and the batch details are printed on labels which are then attached to each drum.

The operator is protected by a safety shield which surrounds the bitumen drums and filling platform. The operation cannot proceed until the shield is in the closed position.In the event of an interruption with one part of the system the operator may allow the rest of the drums to be filled to prevent unecessary delays.
In order to decrease the filling and pallet transfer cycle an incremental conveyor may be incorporated for loading the pallets onto the filling platform. The conveyor acts as a horizontal stacker where 4 - 5 pallets may be loaded, then incrementally filled. This decreases the cycle from approximately 7 minutes per pallet to about 3 minutes.
The Drum Filling Plant is extremely reliable and maintenance free. It may be adapted to suit high speed filling applications for liquids other than bitumen.
