Liquid Batching Systems for Diesel, Lube, and Specialty Fluids
Chintan Engineers builds turnkey liquid batching skids that meter, mix, and dispense fuels and lubricants with ±0.5 % to ±0.2 % accuracy. Each system combines positive displacement meters, preset controllers, pneumatic valves, and PLC logic so operators hit the exact volume every time, whether filling drums, blending additives, or topping off assembly-line reservoirs.

Quick Specs
- Flow capacity: 5 – 120 L/min per stream (custom higher-capacity manifolds available)
- Accuracy: ±0.5 % with PD meters; ±0.2 % achievable on CE-113-based custody skids
- Fluid range: Diesel, petrol, kerosene, lubricants up to 5,000 mPa·s, plus specialty chemicals with material upgrades
- Components: Positive displacement or turbine meters, preset controller, PLC/HMI, pneumatically actuated valves, inline filtration, pump skid
- Power: 220 V AC single-phase for control system; hydraulic/pneumatic drives sized per application
- Control modes: Pre-set volume, multi-stage batching (fast/slow), ratio blending, ticket printing, pulse/analog outputs for SCADA
System Architecture
- Metering – CE-110/111 PD meters or CE-210 turbine/helical sensors deliver volumetric accuracy independent of viscosity.
- Controller – PLC/HMI or CE-Setstop preset counter handles recipe selection, dual-speed solenoid control, and batch logging.
- Pumping & valves – Rotary vane or gear pumps with air-actuated valves enable fast-fill/trim modes to prevent overshoot.
- Safety & filtration – Inline strainers, air eliminators, static grounding, and flameproof options align with site compliance.
- Data connectivity – Pulse, 4–20 mA, Ethernet/Modbus, and printer outputs integrate with ERP or MES dashboards.
Use Cases
- Automotive assembly lines filling gearboxes or reservoirs
- Drum and tote filling stations for lubricants and additives
- Fuel blending/batching for genset OEMs and rental yards
- Chemical mixing skids needing repeatable ratio dosing
- Depot operations requiring ticketed, preset fuel loads
Implementation Process
- Process assessment: Capture media properties, target batches, line pressure, and automation requirements.
- Engineering & fabrication: Build pump/meter skid, control panel, manifold, and instrumentation to the agreed P&ID.
- Factory acceptance test: Simulate batches, tune fast/slow valve timing, verify repeatability, and document PLC logic.
- Installation & commissioning: Set up onsite, integrate with plant PLC/SCADA, calibrate meters, and train operators.
- Lifecycle support: Provide calibration services, spare kits, and remote diagnostics plus recipe updates as processes evolve.
Advantages
- High-speed batching without overshoot via dual-stage valve control.
- Precision metering that remains accurate regardless of viscosity changes.
- Modular skids that expand from single stream to multi-head filling lines.
- Digital traceability—every batch can print a ticket, log to ERP, or push telemetry.
FAQs
What batch sizes can you handle?
Typical systems cover 5 to 1,000 litres per batch, and multi-stage valve logic keeps overshoot below ±0.5 %.
Can the system handle multiple fluids?
Yes. Manifolds can include dedicated meters/valves per fluid or shared headers with automated flushing.
Do you support hazardous locations?
Flameproof motors, intrinsically safe barriers, and stainless manifolds are available for petrochemical sites.
Can batches be logged to ERP?
Pulse/analog outputs and Ethernet/serial communications feed PLC/MES systems; ticket printers capture local receipts.
Do you supply pumps as part of the skid?
Each system ships with the matched pump, filtration, and piping so it drops into your process with minimal onsite fabrication.
