Within the beverage, food and drug industry, liquid filling machines are an indispensable tool to streamline production lines.
There are different types of liquid filling machines. The choice of any manufacturing company would depend on the production process adopted, the type of container and the amount of liquid to be dispensed into each container during the packaging process.
The most common systems can be divided into several categories according to their structure, according to their way of working, according to the production that is desired or according to the product to be packaged.
Perhaps the most decisive point when starting to talk about a filler is the production you want to obtain. Therefore, certain factors must be considered to choose the best filler.
If you're planning to set up a beverage manufacturing facility or plant, one of the essential equipment is, no doubt, the liquid filling machine. There are various market available models of this machine with varying sizes and capacity which makes it daunting to make the right choice.
However, irrespective of the varying sizes, there are essential factors you need to consider when you want to purchase a liquid filling machine.
Now, let's look at these factors thus:
1. Product Viscosity:
Worthy of note before concluding on the choice of your liquid filling machine is your product viscosity. Liquid products may come with a different level of a viscosity such as extremely thick or viscous, semi-viscous, or free-flowing. Product viscosity can impact typically your fill rate. This is because the extremely thick or viscous liquid will take a longer time to get filled up than a free-flowing liquid will do within the same time frame. Accurately identifying your product viscosity is a big step in the right direction towards your filling machine purchase.
2. The Container Type
In a linear packing machine, it is easier to fill in any container because the adjustments in width and height are more flexible than in a rotating machine that has to manufacture specific stars for each type of container and when the container is not round it can create complications in the fill.
3. Size of The Container Mouth
Many times it is the market that marks a style or fashion, but as far as possible it is advisable that the mouth is as wide as possible, because packaging will be faster and thus achieving greater production.
4. Number of Filler Heads
Liquid filling machines vary from each other based on the number of filler heads. This again boils down to the production rate of your factory. For a highly demanded product, you should make an order for your filing machine with many filling heads. This is important because there is no standard number of heads in the filling machine, they are designed based on the specification. With this, the number of bottles getting filled at the same time will actually make up and match the demand for your product.
5. The Product Type
Another factor to take into account when choosing a liquid filling machine is the type of product, therefore this point is divided into several categories:
Liquid food products
Products with higher or lower density
Corrosive products
Deflagrating products
Foaming products
However, it is important not to overlook your future production needs when making order or specification for your filling machine. It is easier and better to buy with future growth in mind than trying to upgrade your equipment after the fact.
