Bottle filling machine can fill bottles of different shapes, such as large bottles, small bottles, square bottles, round bottles, and special-shaped bottles.
The Introduction of Bottle Filling Machine
Bottle filling is familiar to many people. Whether it is bottled beverages, bottled seasonings, bottled medicines, or bottled skin care products, these are everywhere in our daily lives. With such a large user group, the market demand will naturally remain high. Consumption drives the development of science and technology, and modern bottle filling machines and filling technologies are also emerging. Small family workshops, small factories, and large factories all have a high demand for bottle filling machines, which improves the production efficiency and economic benefits of enterprises. In this blog, we will talk about an automation equipment, bottle filling machine.
The types of Bottle Filling Machine
The filling machine can fill bottles with a capacity of 1-10000ml, or even higher. The number of filling heads is designed to be two, four, six, eight, ten, etc. Different models are equipped with different numbers of filling heads, and manufacturers can choose according to their own production capacity requirements. Some filling products may be corrosive, so the whole machine is made of stainless steel. On the one hand, it improves the aesthetics, and on the other hand, it is durable.
Fully automatic bottle filling machines generally use volumetric metering, so they need to rely on a pump. For example, piston pumps and peristaltic pumps and gear pumps commonly used for industrial filling, etc. Piston pump filling machines are often used to handle thicker, pasty, and high-viscosity products, such as jams and jellies with slower flow rates. Of course, they are also suitable for handling liquids.
Taking Shanghai NPACK’s piston filling machine as an example, it is mainly composed of a frame, a motor, a reducer, a cylinder, a filling valve, a PLC controller, a sensor, etc. The machine uses the three-way principle of the cylinder driving the piston and the rotary valve to extract and pump out liquid materials, and control the stroke of the cylinder to adjust the filling volume. It is an automatic filling equipment with filling and metering functions.
The Filling Materials of Bottle Filling Machine
The filling machine is suitable for filling operations of materials in different forms such as liquids, semi-fluids, viscous liquids, emulsions, etc. It has the characteristics of large filling volume and accurate filling weight. It also has an interlocking control function, which can be synchronized with the front-end feeding equipment, bottle unscrambler, and back-end capping and capping machine at the production site to achieve efficient automatic filling operations.
In addition, the equipment can also be equipped with a vacuum filling nozzle, which can effectively maintain the freshness and quality of the product. The servo motor drives the filling nozzle up and down to ensure accurate and stable operation. Each piston stroke independently drives each servo motor, making the operation more flexible and controllable.
The specially designed closed filling nozzle not only improves production efficiency, but also effectively prevents liquid products from corroding the machine. In order to meet different needs, the design considers the use of PTFE pumps, PTFE hoses, and sealing materials, and is optimized for highly corrosive liquid products. The mixing top hopper and the double-layer jacketed hopper with heating function further improve the applicability and convenience of the equipment in handling various materials.
The Bottle Filling line
After completing the filling process, the bottles that come out need to be capped. Today we introduce a lifting type fully automatic capping machine, which consists of three parts: a cap storage bin, a cap sorting machine, and a cap discharging machine. A certain number of bottle caps are contained in the cap storage bin. Under the action of the vibration motor, the bottle caps are transported from the lower part to the upper cap sorting machine through the chain plate.
The cap sorting machine has a detecting switch. At a certain point in time, the detecting switch will trigger the activation of the cap sorting machine, which will then cap and discharge the bottles. The main structure of the capping machine is made of stainless steel and is used in conjunction with the capping machine. It is suitable for various bottle caps such as plastic caps, aluminum caps, and metal caps. It can automatically distinguish the front and back of the bottle caps, automatically cap without caps, and automatically stop with caps, and automatically output the bottle caps synchronously with the production line.
Automatic Capping Machine
Next, let’s talk about the fully automatic capping machine, which is also the process after capping. There are many types of capping machines. Today we introduce a capping machine. The working principle of this machine is that when the bottle is in place and clamped and fixed, the sensor automatically triggers the cap hanging device to automatically place the bottle cap above the bottle mouth.
The four wheels clamp the bottle cap through the transmission system and apply force evenly along the rotation direction of the bottle mouth to screw the bottle cap into the bottle mouth, thus completing the capping action. The machine adopts a fully automatic operation mode and can adapt to bottles of different heights and diameters. The capping head adopts a rubber wheel, the capping torque is adjustable, the force is uniform, the capping range is wide, the capping range can be locked, and the caps of different specifications can be locked. It has the characteristics of strong versatility, wide application range, fast capping efficiency and high capping quality.
Automatic Labeling Machine
After the capping is completed, the bottle needs to be labeled. The fully automatic round bottle labeling machine is a commonly used auxiliary equipment for bottles, with high labeling efficiency, good labeling effect and accurate labeling position. You can use self-adhesive roll label paper, and the label winding completes the labeling process. It is suitable for round single label, double label, positioning label, full circumference label and other labeling forms.
The working principle is that the bottle conveying mechanism separates the bottles one by one, the sensor detects that the bottle has reached the specified position, and the signal is transmitted to the labeling control system. The roll automatically sends the label to the bottle, and the labeling device drives the round bottle to rotate, and the label is pasted. Optional ribbon coding machine and inkjet printer can print the production date and batch number information on the label to realize the integration of labeling and coding.
In addition to the filling machine, capping machine, sealing machine and labeling machine introduced above, the supporting equipment for bottled products also includes an aluminum foil sealing machine. This is the end of the introduction of the bottle filling machine production line and related equipment.
