IBC / Tote Fillers

IBC and tote fillers meter bulk liquids into 275 and 330 gallon containers, typically with load-cell weighing, and are common in chemical and food ingredient facilities.

How it works

IBC and tote fillers manage large-volume bulk containers, generally using flow meter or load cell-based metering to control large fill quantities accurately. Fill heads typically lower into the tote's top opening, and systems may include tote positioning and leveling features. These systems are built to handle the weight and scale of large bulk containers safely.

Common applications

• Bulk filling of industrial chemicals
• Packaging bulk food ingredients for distribution
• Filling bulk agricultural chemicals
• Bulk packaging of water-based solutions

Typical products and containers

Advantages

• Designed for large-volume bulk container filling
• Can incorporate weight verification for large fill quantities
• Reduces manual handling associated with bulk containers
• Often integrates with forklift or conveyor-based tote handling

Buying considerations

• Confirm tote size and top opening configuration compatibility.
• Consider hazardous area classification needs for flammable products.
• Evaluate metering accuracy requirements for bulk commercial transactions.
• Check facility floor space and tote handling equipment compatibility.
• Assess spill containment provisions given the large container volume.
