A Beginner Buyer's Guide to Filling Machines with Four Different Filling Methods

Jun 01, 2022

Filling machines are mainly a small category of products in packaging machines. In recent years, with the improvement of the level of science and technology, the Chinese filling machine industry has greatly improved in terms of technical level, equipment performance and quality. It is widely used in the food industry, beverage industry, daily chemical industry, etc.


Today, four classifications of filling machines are made from filling methods. I hope it will help you choose a filling machine~


1. Atmospheric pressure filling machine:


1) What is an atmospheric filling machine


A machine that fills liquids into packaging containers under normal pressure. It is suitable for filling liquid products with low viscosity and no gas, such as liquor, vinegar, soy sauce, milk, syrup, etc.


2) Application of atmospheric pressure filling machine


Atmospheric pressure filling machine is compact, vertical structure, saving space, suitable for special industries such as medicine, daily chemical, food, pesticide and so on.


3) Atmospheric pressure filling machine maintenance and maintenance


•Before turning on the machine, you must use the crank handle to turn the machine to see if there is any abnormality in its rotation.


•The machine must be kept clean. It is strictly forbidden to have oil stains, liquid medicine or glass debris on the machine to avoid damage to the machine. During the production process of the machine, remove the liquid medicine or glass debris in time.


• Clean all parts of the machine surface once, and add clean lubricating oil to all moving parts.

2. Negative pressure filling machine:


1) What is a negative pressure filling machine


A machine that first draws air into the packaging container to form negative pressure, and then fills the liquid into the packaging container.


2) Application of negative pressure filling machine


It is suitable for filling low-viscosity liquid materials, such as oils, syrups, beverages containing vitamins, pesticides, and chemical reagents. But it is not suitable for filling aromatic wine, because it will increase the loss of wine aroma.


3) Advantages of negative pressure filling machine


The advantage is that the manufacturing error of the packaging container can be ignored, because the liquid level is quantified, and a good appearance consistency of the filling liquid level can be obtained.


The negative pressure filling machine is most suitable for glass bottle filling, because the glass bottle will inevitably have an internal volume error during the firing process, and the leaked bottle can be found during the packaging process, because the leaked bottle cannot form negative pressure, so Material cannot be filled.


3. Isobaric filling machine:


1) What is an isobaric filling machine


A machine that first inflates the packaging container to make its internal gas pressure equal to the gas pressure in the liquid storage tank, and then fills the liquid into the packaging container.


2) Application of isobaric filling machine


It is suitable for the filling of gas-containing beverages such as beer, soft drinks, etc., which can reduce the loss of carbon dioxide gas contained therein.


3) Workflow of isobaric filling machine


•Initial position


The bottle has not yet touched the filling valve, and all gas and liquid passages are closed.


• Inflation pressure


The bottle and the filling valve cover rise to a predetermined position together. At this time, the rotary fork opens the inflation valve, and the pressurized gas enters the bottle from the annular storage tank through the inflation channel.


• Liquid injection and air return


When the pressure in the bottle reaches the pressure of the material storage tank, the liquid valve is automatically opened, and the material and liquid must flow down along the bottle wall by the shunt umbrella. When the surface reaches the lower port of the return trachea, the injection ends.


• Valve closed


The rotary fork closes the pressure gas valve and the liquid valve.


• Inflate


The top carbon dioxide filling valve is opened, carbon dioxide or other inert gas is filled into the bottle from the annular groove, and the air at the neck of the bottle is driven away.


• Pressure relief


The pressure relief valve opens and the pressure in the bottle escapes to the annular groove through the needle valve in the pressure relief channel.

4. Pressure filling machine:


1) What is a pressure filling machine


A machine that uses external mechanical pressure to fill liquid products into packaging containers.


2) Application of pressure filling machine


Suitable for filling viscous materials, such as ketchup, minced meat, toothpaste, balsam, beer, soft drinks, champagne, etc.
