Automatic filling and plugging machine is an automated equipment that integrates filling and plugging functions, widely used in industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food, for precise filling of liquids or semi fluids and automatic capping of bottle caps or plugs.
The main components of an automatic filling and plugging machine
1. Bottle feeding device: Using a vibrating disc or conveyor belt, it is responsible for orderly feeding empty bottles into the equipment to ensure accurate positioning of the bottles before filling.
2. Positioning and conveying system: Using sensors and robotic arms or conveyor chains, the bottles are accurately conveyed to the filling station, while ensuring the stability of the bottles during the filling process.
3. Filling system:
• Metering pump/piston pump: used to precisely control the amount of liquid filled each time.
Liquid level detection: Monitor the liquid level through ultrasonic or photoelectric sensors to ensure accurate filling volume.
• Cleaning and disinfection: Clean and disinfect the pipes and nozzles before filling to ensure hygiene during the filling process.
4. Sealing/capping system:
Pick up mechanism: Use a robotic arm or suction cup to pick up bottle caps or plugs from the silo.
Tightening/pressing mechanism: Use a rotating head or pressure head to tightly install the bottle cap/stopper on the bottle mouth, and set torque or pressure to ensure sealing.
5. Bottle dispensing device: Transport the filled and stoppered bottles to the collection area or the next process, while removing any non-conforming products.
6. Control system: Using PLC controller, combined with human-machine interface to achieve functions such as equipment start, stop, parameter setting, fault diagnosis, etc.
Technical characteristics of automatic filling and plugging machine
High precision filling: Using advanced metering technology and liquid level monitoring to ensure consistent filling volume for each bottle.
High degree of automation: The entire process from bottle feeding to bottle discharging is automated, reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency.
• Easy to operate and maintain: user-friendly human-machine interface, easy to operate; Modular design facilitates daily maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Compliant with GMP standards: The equipment design meets the GMP requirements of the pharmaceutical industry to ensure a production environment, is easy to clean and disinfect, and ensures the hygiene of the production environment.
