Overview and Application of Liquid Filling Machine Equipment: A liquid filling machine is a device used to automatically fill liquid products into containers. With the rapid development of modern industry, liquid filling machines are playing an increasingly important role in various industries, especially in the fields of food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. This article will delve into the liquid filling machine equipment, including its working principle, classification, main applications, and future development trends.
1、 Working principle of liquid filling machine
The working principle of liquid filling machine is relatively simple, but its design and construction are quite complex. Usually, liquid filling machines consist of the following main parts:
1. Feeding system: responsible for transporting liquids from storage tanks to the filling system. The feeding system can be gravity feeding, pump feeding, etc., depending on the properties of the liquid and production requirements.
2. Filling valve: The filling valve is the core part of the liquid filling machine, which controls the flow rate and filling volume of the liquid. Different types of filling valves are suitable for different liquid characteristics, such as viscous liquid, foam liquid and low viscosity liquid.
3. Control system: Modern liquid filling machines are usually equipped with advanced PLC control systems that can monitor and adjust the filling process in real time. By setting up the program, operators can achieve precise control over filling volume, speed, and time.
4. Conveyor system: Transport the filled containers to the next production stage, such as sealing, labeling, etc. Conveyor systems typically use belt conveyors, which have high stability and reliability.
2、 Classification of liquid filling machines
According to different working principles and filling methods, liquid filling machines can be divided into the following categories:
1. Piston filling machine: It achieves quantitative filling of liquids through the movement of pistons, suitable for viscous and granular liquids such as soy sauce, honey, etc.
2. Gravity filling machine: Using gravity, liquid flows into the container through the filling valve, suitable for low viscosity liquids such as water, beverages, etc.
3. Pumping filling machine: using the pressure of the pump to transport the liquid to the filling valve, suitable for various types of liquids, especially high viscosity liquids.
4. Pressure filling machine: pushing liquid into a container through internal pressure, commonly used for carbonated liquids or volatile liquids such as carbonated beverages.
