Filling machine is a device used to package liquids, powders, or particulate matter into containers. It is typically used in industries such as food, beverage, and cosmetics.
Structural filling machines typically consist of the following main components:
Frame: A structure that provides support and fixation for the entire equipment.
Conveying system: used to transport empty containers from the feeding port to the filling area, and then transport the filled containers to the discharge port.
Filling system: including filling heads, valves, and sensors, used to control liquid flow and ensure accurate filling.
Control system: Control the operation of the entire equipment through electrical components and programs.
Transmission system: Drive various components such as conveyor belts, filling heads, etc. through motors and transmission devices.
The working principle of a filling machine can be divided into the following steps:
Container feeding: Empty containers enter the filling area through a conveyor system, usually transported by conveyor belts or rollers.
Filling preparation: When the container reaches the filling area, the filling system begins to prepare. Firstly, the container is positioned below the filling head and the opening of the container is aligned with the filling head. At this point, the valve is closed and the liquid will not flow.
Filling operation: When the container is ready, the valve opens and liquid begins to flow into the container from the storage tank. By detecting the liquid level through sensors, the movement and time of the filling head are controlled to ensure that the liquid in the container reaches the preset filling amount.
Filling completion: When the liquid reaches the set filling amount, the valve closes and the filling operation ends. At this point, the filling head returns to its initial position and is ready for the next filling.
Container discharge: The filled container is transported to the discharge port, usually through a conveyor belt or drum. Afterwards, the container can undergo subsequent processes such as sealing and labeling.
The main structure of a filling machine includes a frame, conveying system, filling system, control system, and transmission system. Its working principle is to transport empty containers to the filling area through a conveying system, then use the filling system to control the flow rate and time of the liquid to complete the filling operation, and finally transport the filled containers to the discharge port. The filling machine has the characteristics of high efficiency and precision, and is widely used in the packaging field of various liquids, powders, or particulate matter.
