With economic development and rising living standards, the packaging of goods has become increasingly important, and filling machines have also developed rapidly. Filling machines are primarily a subcategory of packaging machines. From the perspective of material packaging, they can be divided into liquid filling machines, paste filling machines, powder filling machines, and granule filling machines. Due to the characteristics of liquids (such as solubility, absorbency, ease of production and transportation, etc.), the production of packaging machines for filling liquids accounts for the bulk of packaging machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The world's filling machines are evolving toward high speed, versatility, and high precision. Currently, some filling production lines can be used under different requirements and in various environments, such as glass bottles and plastic containers (polyester bottles), carbonated beverages and non-carbonated beverages, hot filling, and cold filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently, the filling speed of carbonated beverage filling machines has reached up to 2000 cans\/min. The filling valve count is 165 heads for German H&K machines, 144 heads for SEN, and 178 heads for Krones. The diameter of the filling machine is 5 meters, and the filling accuracy is less than \u00b10.5ml. The non-carbonated beverage filling machine has 50-100 filling valves, a filling speed of up to 1500 cans\/min, and a filling machine turntable speed of 20-25 rpm, which is 1 time faster. It can be used to fill hot tea, coffee drinks, soy milk, and fruit juice drinks. Hot-filled foreign beverages are no longer sterilized after sealing. Carbonated beverages have been carbonated for more than 20 years. Carbonating at room temperature can reduce beverage costs and benefit the environment. The nitrogen filling system for non-carbonated beverages uses a liquid or gaseous nitrogen drip method to infuse inert liquid nitrogen gas into collapsible aluminum cans or PET bottles, allowing two-piece aluminum cans and PET bottles to be used for non-carbonated beverages such as juice drinks, while protecting the contents and reducing nutrient loss. Currently, PET bottled tea drinks typically use a hot-fill method. To reduce filling temperatures, improve the taste of tea beverages, and ensure product hygiene and safety, PET resin molds have been developed for use with 130\u00b0C steam sterilization and special aseptic filling packaging machines. At the same time, aseptic packaging technology for thin-walled two-piece cans of low-acid beverages such as iced coffee is being developed to achieve aseptic packaging in thin-walled cans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Selection of filling methods and quantitative methods<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Filling method<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Due to differences in the physical and chemical properties of liquid materials, different filling requirements exist during filling. The following methods are commonly used to fill liquid materials from storage devices into packaging containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(1) Normal pressure filling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Normal pressure filling relies directly on the dead weight of the liquid to flow into the packaging container under atmospheric pressure. The normal pressure filling process is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1) Liquid inlet and outlet: Liquid enters the container, and the air inside the container is exhausted at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2) Stop the liquid inlet: When the liquid in the container reaches the required quantity, the liquid inlet stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3) Liquid waste exhaust: Liquid waste exhaust in the air pipe. This process is required for structures that vent air into the air space above the liquid storage tank. Normal pressure filling is commonly used, especially for filling low-viscosity, gas-free liquids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(2) Isobaric filling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isobaric filling uses compressed air in the air space above the liquid storage tank to expand the packaging container so that the pressure is nearly equal, and then the liquid being filled flows into the container by its own weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The isobaric filling process is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1) equal pressure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2) Re-enter liquid and gas<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3) Stop fluid intake<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4) Relieve stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isobaric filling is suitable for filling carbonated beverages such as beer, soda, and others, to reduce the loss of contained gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(3) Vacuum filling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vacuum filling is carried out under atmospheric pressure. There are two basic methods: one is differential pressure vacuum, which keeps the liquid storage tank at normal pressure and only evacuates the interior of the packaging container to achieve a specific vacuum level. The liquid flows into the packaging container by the pressure difference between the two vessels. The other is gravity vacuum, which keeps the liquid storage tank and the packaging container at nearly the same vacuum level. The liquid flows into the container under its own weight. At present, differential pressure vacuum is commonly used in China. It has a simple structure and reliable operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The vacuum filling process is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1) sucking on a bottle<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2) Re-enter liquid and gas<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3) Stop fluid intake<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4) Return of liquid waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vacuum filling is suitable for filling high-viscosity liquids and toxic liquids. This method not only increases filling speed but also reduces contact and interaction between the liquid and residual air in the container, making it beneficial for preserving the product. It can also limit the spread of toxic gases and liquids, thereby improving operating conditions. However, it is not suitable for filling alcoholic beverages that contain aromatic gases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(4) Filling the siphon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Siphon filling uses the siphon principle to draw liquid into a container through a siphon tube until the liquid levels in both are equal. Siphon filling is suitable for filling low-viscosity, non-gaseous liquids. It has a simple structure, but the filling speed is low.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(5) Pressure filling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pressure filling uses mechanical or gas-hydraulic devices to make a plunger respond by drawing high-viscosity liquid from a storage tank into the plunger cylinder, then forcing it into the container to be filled. This method is sometimes also used to fill beverages such as soda, and can be poured directly into bottles by relying on its own air pressure. When selecting a filling method, in addition to considering the viscosity characteristics of the liquid itself, it is also necessary to carefully analyze the product process requirements and the structure and operation of the filling machine and equipment. At the same time, during the filling process, it is also necessary to reduce contact between the liquid and air and try to eliminate the influence of trapped air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Quantitative measurement of liquids mostly uses volumetric methods, which can be roughly divided into the following three types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(1) Quantitative method for liquid level control The quantitative method for liquid level control is to achieve a quantitative value by controlling the liquid level of the container being filled during filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(2) Quantitative cup method The quantitative cup method is to first inject the liquid into the quantitative cup and then fill it. If liquid loss is not taken into account, the volume of liquid added each time must be equal to the volume of the corresponding quantitative cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(3) Quantitative pump quantitative method The quantitative pump quantitative method is a quantitative technique that uses mechanical pressure filling. The volume of material filled each time is proportional to the reciprocating stroke of the plunger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Comparing the three quantitative methods above, it is not difficult to understand that the second method is directly affected by the accuracy of the bottle volume and the sealing level of the bottle mouth, so its quantitative accuracy is poor, but its structure is simple and it is still used today. In fact, when choosing a quantitative method, the first thing to consider is the accuracy required by the product. Quantitative accuracy is related to the product. The more expensive the product, the smaller the measurement error should be. In addition, the characteristics of the liquid process itself should also be considered when selecting a quantitative method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Custom Filling Machine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Determine the application's function and scope<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Most primary filling machines have a single function, which can simplify design and make it easier to succeed. If multiple machines and various processes are combined into one package, significant economic benefits can be achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When determining the functions and scope of a filling machine application, two issues need to be considered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(1) Reliability<\/strong>. In general, as the function increases, the coupling of the charging operations increases, and the likelihood of failure also rises accordingly. Therefore, only when the charging operation of a single function is relatively stable and reliable can we consider integrating it into a multi-function charging machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(2) Adaptability<\/strong>. The scope of application of any filling machine is limited. The more functions a machine has, the more complex its structure. Therefore, multifunctional filling machines are often designed as combinations, and some of the combined components can be flexibly added or modified according to different user requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Process analysis is to examine, analyze, and determine the process methods for the packaging machine designed to complete the desired packaging process. Several issues need to be considered:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Packaging method<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
(1) Give priority to ensuring the quality of the filling. Regardless of the filling method used, the quality of the filling must be guaranteed. (2) When there are multiple methods to choose from, the one that is easiest to implement should be selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Type of machine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
(1) Select the machine type based on the number of filling heads. (2) Select the machine type based on productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Packaging procedures, packaging technology, and number of workstations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
(1) Packaging procedure refers to the sequence in which packaging operations are completed. Packaging methods often determine the packaging procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(2) Packaging process routes: including the supply routes for packaging materials and packaging items, as well as their delivery routes during the packaging process and the output line for packaged products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Requirements of the motion and selection of the mechanism<\/strong>Analyze and determine the motion requirements for the actuator based on the specified function, application conditions and scope, and processing methods, then complete the selection and integration of the mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Design requirements: simple structure, low cost, good operational stability, easy to control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Main technical indicators of the filling machine: (1) Viscosity of the filling liquid: less than 1 Pa\u00b7s (2) Filling speed: 6 times\/min (3) Filling container size range: height 20 mm\u2013200 mm, cross-sectional diameter < 70 mm (4) System pressure: 0.5\u20133 MPa<\/p>\n\n\n\n
