Introduction to Liquid Packing Machine

 

 

A liquid packing machine, also known as a flow filling machine, is used to fill products with different liquid viscosities into various container types either through the volumetric or quantitative filling. They can handle liquid products ranging from water-like to heavy-viscous and extremely thick ones.

 

Important Parts of Liquid Packing Machine

Bottle Feeding Mechanism
The bottle feeding mechanism is the very first stage in the packing process. The bottles are manually put into the inlet of the feeding mechanism. Then, the turntable rotates under the drive of motor, enabling the bottles to enter the conveyor belt in a orderly and automatic manner. Depending on filling head number, there are different types of bottle feeders to choose from.

Conveyor Belt
Chances are you've seen a conveyor belt on your liquid packing machine. However, few people are aware how important it is. Conveyor belts are used to carrying containers throughout the entire filling line.
In addition, the speed and size of a conveyor belt can be adjusted based on certain demand. With it, your filling process can be more efficient and productive.

Filling Nozzle
For an automatic liquid packing machine, the filling nozzle is a must have. Literally, the filling nozzle is the actual tool for filling the liquid. However,it's not just a tool. It controls the direction of liquid flow as well as the accuracy of filling. For your successful filling, it plays a decisive role.
Based on how thick the liquid is, there is a wide range of filling nozzles to choose from. Common filling nozzles include straight-through nozzle, purge nozzle, and overflow nozzle.
Straight-through nozzles are the most common and versatile ones you can see on liquid filling machines. They can be used for filling so many kinds of liquid. Also, they feature a simple design that enables liquid flow smoothly.
Purge nozzles are mainly used to remove air from containers before or after filling. With them, degradation and contamination can be avoided to a great extent.
Overflow nozzles are designed to fill containers to a consistent level. These nozzles discharge the liquid into the container. Once the liquid product reaches a certain height, the extra liquid will flow back into the supply tank via the nozzles.
In some cases, you may need multiple nozzles to get your job done. But there is no worries, most filling machines are easy to change their nozzles.

Peristaltic Pump
As an essential component of liquid packing machines, the peristaltic pump uses silicone hoses to pump liquid. It features high accuracy and great stability. When the rollers starts running, the hose is squeezed. Along the hose, the liquid product will be carried from one end to the other.
What's more, the peristaltic pump contributes to the entire filling process because of its excellent performance. It comes with high precision, which is an important feature for pharmaceutical industry. Besides, peristaltic pumps have mild nature and cause no foaming to the liquid product. Also, they are easy to clean and quick to disassemble.

Main Turntable
The main turntable rotates the containers to each filling station. So it's definitely an integral part for any liquid filler. It makes it possible to synchronize several filling steps. When one container is being filled, another is probably being capped at the same time.
Moreover, the turntable offers a stable platform for the filling nozzles, which guarantees that each container is filled precisely. When there are no bottles under the filling nozzle, the sensor installed above the turntable will detect it and stop the peristaltic pump from working.

Capping Mechanism
Normally, the capping mechanism is placed at the end of the liquid packing machine. Once the container is filled, it will be transported to the capping mechanism by the conveyor belt. After capping, the container moves to the next unit, ready for packaging and labeling.
The capping mechanism is one of the important components for a liquid packing machine. It ensures proper capping and perfect sealing. Furthermore, this helps avoid leakage and contamination.

PLC Control Screen
The PLC control screen is a device where all parameters are set and adjusted. Common settings include filling volume, filling speed, data memorization, and more.
By changing certain settings, the machine can react faster and more correctly to the real-time filling process. Every time the sensor detects an error with the filling volume, the PLC control system will send signals to the machine. Then, it will respond to add or decrease liquid volume.

Gravity Packing Machine
Gravity packing machines are typically used to fill thinner, foamy liquids. Gravity liquid packing machines work by pumping bulk supplies into holding tanks, which are set above valves that are operated pneumatically. Each valve is set for a specific fill time to enable free-flowing liquids such as water and inks to fill containers using gravity.

Piston Packing Machine
Piston packing machines are also ideal for many different liquids. They allow for accurate and fast fill rates, along with versatility as they can handle many types of products. They're frequently used to fill highly viscous products such as pastes, sauces, chunky fillings, batters, and icing. Piston fillers are also often used to fill liquid products in pastry bags and other similar containers.

Pump Packing Machine
Pump packing machines are also used for many types of products. Their combined versatility and accuracy makes them ideal for filling liquids of low, medium, or high viscosity levels. The pumps used in these machines can include gear pumps, rotor pumps, cavity pumps, and lobe pumps, among others depending on the application. In addition to pump systems, there are many options for valves and fittings.

Molten Packing Machine
Molten packing machines are uniquely designed to work with products that require hot-filling before cooling and hardening once filled. The products that molten fillers are most frequently used to fill include candles, petroleum jelly, deodorants, glycerin soaps, and lip balm.

Pressure/Gravity Packing Machine
Pressure/gravity packing machines are similar to gravity fillers in their operation, but their use of pressure to fill containers makes them more suitable for thicker liquids.

Net Weigh Packing Machine
Net weigh packing machines are used to help ensure that every container has the same amount of product across the line, which makes them ideal for filling bulk quantities of liquid products or products of high value whose wastage can be costly.

Inline Packing Machine
Inline liquid packing machines fill containers along a single file line across a conveyor system. These machines are designed to fill liquid and semi-liquid products of various viscosities and in many different container shapes and sizes. Small to medium-sized businesses use these models most frequently to maximize filling efficiency.

Rotary Packing Machine
Rotary packing machines can move containers through circular stations, each of which is intended for a different function such as filling, capping, and sealing. Many industries use these machines for a wide range of products.

Q: Which filling principle will work best with my product?

A: Filling machines can use a variety of principles to move product from a holding tank to the bottles or containers waiting to be filled. Each principle offers some unique benefit to the packaging process. This question can begin to be answered by looking at the product itself. Thin, free-flowing products are usually filled using an overflow filler or gravity filling machine. Thicker, more viscous products will normally require a piston filler or pump filling machine. These are general rules and, of course, exceptions do exist. For example, when a packaging project includes multiple products with a wide range of viscosities, a pump or piston filler may be used with both thick and thin products.

Q: What is Liquid Packaging?

A: Liquid packaging refers to the process of packaging up any sort of liquid product, from beverages to cleaning agents. Liquids may be packed in a variety of container types with various seals and caps.
If you're looking for a liquid packaging solution, you may be seeking a machine to rinse the bottles, fill the containers, or cap and seal them after they have been filled. In general, a liquid packaging system refers to the filling machinery itself, but a complete solution will do all of the above.

Q: Should we use automated or semi-automated liquid packaging system?

A: Liquid packaging systems are able to speed up the production line, especially when they incorporate a conveyor belt to automatically pull the bottles under the filling machine.
From there, the capping process can also be automated, and so can the sealing process. Labeling machines and other equipment can also be incorporated into the production line to create a fully-automated liquid packaging system.
Of course, semi-automated packaging systems are suitable for many operations. With these solutions, a person is often required to place the bottle under the filling machine, place on a cap, and use a manual interface to seal the container. The best choice for your operations will depend on a few criteria.
