Rotary liquid filling machines have become a cornerstone in modern packaging lines due to their ability to handle high-volume production with precision and speed. For enterprises looking to enhance their bottling processes, understanding how these machines work and what components define their performance is critical. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of their structure, working principle, and advanced models designed for various industries.
1. Working Principle of Rotary Liquid Filling Machine
A rotary liquid filling machine operates on a circular motion system where containers are filled as they rotate around a central axis. The process begins with bottles being fed onto a star wheel that guides them into individual filling stations. Each container is securely held in place while precision filling nozzles dispense the liquid.
Key phases of the working process include:
- Bottle Feeding: Bottles are transferred onto the rotary platform using a conveyor and positioned under filling nozzles.
- Filling Action: Using peristaltic pumps or piston mechanisms, liquid is dispensed accurately into each bottle.
- Capping and Discharge: After filling, bottles move seamlessly to capping stations where caps are applied, then proceed to the next stage of the packaging line.
This synchronized operation allows rotary systems to achieve high output rates while maintaining accuracy, with some models reaching up to 4000 bottles per hour.
2. Structural Components of Rotary Liquid Filling Machine
The design of a rotary liquid filling machine integrates several essential parts that ensure efficiency and hygiene. Every part plays a distinct role within the overall process:
- Dust Cover: Protects the filling area from external contaminants, maintaining product hygiene and quality.
- PLC Operation Panel: Provides an intuitive interface for controlling machine parameters, allowing operators to adjust speed, volume, and sequence.
- Peristaltic Pump: Ensures precise liquid delivery and is especially suitable for handling sterile or sensitive fluids.
- Filling Nozzles: Engineered for accurate liquid transfer, minimizing dripping and spillage.
- Chain Conveyor Belt: Transports bottles smoothly between different machine sections, supporting consistent workflow.
