Automatic Filling of Drums and Barrels at John Miller's

Abstract

The MOST RECENT INSTALLATION FOR the filling of oil drums and barrels is that put into operation at the works of John W. Miller & Son, Ltd., Hillside Oil Works, Brighouse, Yorks., and we recently inspected this. It is a result of the combined ingenuity of Mr. Miller and Avery‐Hardoll Ltd., Oakcroft Road, Chessington, Surrey. Some eighteen months ago, Mr. Miller decided that it was possible to speed up the production of filled packages to meet their increasing demand and, in view of the acute labour problems, it was necessary to design an automatic system that would reduce staff and yet ensure reliable and accurate filling. As a result the filling department was completely reorganised.
