Precision Filling & Emptying for the Spirits Industry
This is the perfect solution for distilleries and liquid processors looking to optimize their barrel handling process. Combining both filling and emptying functions into a single, efficient system designed for spirit barrels. With a pneumatically-driven emptying system, it ensures explosion-proof safety, while the electrical and pneumatic controlled filling operation provides precise flow measurement and minimizes splash. Whether you’re emptying aged spirits or refilling barrels, this versatile unit streamlines operations and improves overall efficiency.
- Efficiently fill and empty barrels for blending, proofing, or bottling
- Explosion-Proof Emptying – 100% pneumatically driven, ensuring safe operation in hazardous environments.
- Accurate Mass Flow Measurement – Coriolis meter provides real-time monitoring and volume correction.
- Minimized Splash & Vapor Loss – Bottom-up filling through the lance minimizes product loss and increases safety.
- Flexible Configuration – Customizable to meet your workflow with dual filling arms, dual emptying arms, or one of each.
- Zero Electrical Feeds for Emptying – A dual emptying skid operates without any electrical requirements.
Emptying Operation
- The emptying process is fully pneumatic, ensuring explosion-proof operation.
- A manual pneumatic switch lowers the emptying lance into the bottom of the barrel.
- A piston pump is activated via a manual pneumatic valve, drawing the liquid through an inline filter.
- Option to add additional char filter.
Filling Operation
- Filling is controlled both electrically and pneumatically.
- The unit features an explosion-proof centrifugal pump and coriolis meter for precise mass flow measurement.
- The pump is set up on a recirculation loop, ensuring consistent supply from the spirit holding vessel.
- A pneumatic switch lowers the filling lance, and a three-way valve redirects flow from recirculation to barrel filling.
- Bottom-up filling minimizes product loss and increases safety
- 304SS Construction – Durable stainless steel skid, piping, and supports for easy cleaning.
- Tri-Clamp & Bolted Assembly – Secure and sanitary connections.
- E&H Promass Coriolis Meter – Provides accurate mass flow monitoring and temperature correction.
- 2 HP SPX C-114 Centrifugal Pump – Explosion-proof motor ensures safety in classified environments.
- Pneumatic SPX Valves – Reliable pneumatic valve operation.
- 3-Way Diverting Valve – Ensures seamless switching between recirculation and filling.
- Optional Infuser – Can be paired for enhanced bulk char filtration.
- 100% Pneumatic Emptying – No electrical feeds required for dual emptying skids.
