The industrial gas basket type automatic filling system is an advanced filling equipment that integrates mechanical structure, automation control, and safety management. It uses basket type container bundles (or gas cylinder frames) to simultaneously fix multiple gas cylinders and utilizes automation control to achieve efficient and safe gas filling. This system not only significantly improves filling efficiency, but also significantly reduces the labor intensity and safety hazards of manual operation.

 

In order for you to quickly grasp its core components, the following table summarizes the main parts and functions of the system:

 

System components	Core function	Key design and accessory components
Gas source and pretreatment system	Provide and vaporize cryogenic liquid gas in preparation for filling	cryogenic storage tank, cryogenic filling pump, air-cooled vaporizer
Intelligent Control Center	Full process automatic control and safety monitoring	Intelligent unit filling control cabinet, electrical PLC control cabinet, human-machine interaction interface, pressure transmitter, temperature detector
Basket style filling actuator	Fix the steel cylinder and perform specific connection and filling operations	Basket style filling actuator, basket style filling table/container, manifold, filling protective cover, lifting cylinder/hydraulic cylinder, high-pressure hose

 

How does the system work

 

The workflow of the flower basket automatic filling system is closely connected, achieving a high degree of automation:

 

Gas cylinder positioning and connection: The steel cylinders that need to be filled are placed in groups and fixed in a basket style container (gas cylinder frame). Afterwards, the lifting hydraulic cylinder or air cylinder starts working, driving the filling part (including the filling valve and high-pressure hose) to descend and automatically connect with the cylinder valve of each steel cylinder.

 

 

Automated filling and precise control: After the operator sets the filling pressure and other parameters through the human-computer interaction interface, the system is started. The intelligent control cabinet will automatically open the relevant valves according to the program, and gas will be filled into all steel cylinders simultaneously through the manifold and high-pressure hose. The pressure transmitter and temperature detector will monitor the data in real time and provide feedback to the PLC controller to ensure accurate and stable filling process.

 

 

Filling completion and safety handling: When the preset pressure is reached, the system automatically cuts off the gas source and stops filling. Subsequently, the lifting mechanism lifts the filling section and separates it from the steel cylinder. The system usually also integrates vacuum pipes and automatic safety relief valves, which are used to evacuate the pipes before filling or safely release pressure in case of abnormal situations.

 

Why choose a basket style automatic filling system

Compared with traditional filling methods, this system has significant advantages:

 

Efficiency improvement: It enables the simultaneous filling of dozens of steel cylinders, eliminating the tedious steps of individual handling and manual connection, making it very suitable for modern factories that require large-scale filling.

 

Security guarantee: Automated operation reduces the opportunity for personnel to directly operate equipment and lowers safety hazards. The system is also equipped with multiple safety measures, such as safety valves, automatic safety relief valves, and filling protective covers, which jointly build a solid safety defense line.

 

Stable quality: Using pressure method for automatic control, it can ensure that the final pressure height of steel cylinders filled in the same batch is consistent, ensuring the stability and uniformity of product quality.

 

Improving the working environment: significantly reducing the physical labor intensity of operators, making the filling area clean and orderly, and helping to enhance the corporate image.

Selection and application suggestions

 

If you are considering introducing this system for your business, there are several key points to note:

Core component selection: Focus on the material and structure of the flower basket container (ensuring stability and suitability for forklift handling), the design and valve quality of the manifold (ensuring uniform and stable distribution of airflow and pressure to each gas cylinder), the performance of automation components (such as reliability and accuracy of cylinders/hydraulic cylinders, sensors, and control valves), and the friendliness and stability of the control system (PLC program and human-machine interface).

 

Clear application scenarios: This system is particularly suitable for industrial gas production and filling stations, large gas consuming enterprises (such as steel, chemical, electronics), and scenarios with high requirements for gas purity and filling accuracy (such as special gases and mixed gases).

 

Reference technical standards: When selecting and accepting equipment, reference can be made to the group standard "T/CCGA 20019-2025 Technical Requirements for High Pressure Gas Automatic Filling System" implemented by the China Industrial Gas Industry Association in May 2025, which specifies the technical requirements, inspection, and acceptance standards for pressure based automatic high-pressure gas filling systems.
