Automatic PLC based volumetric filling machine

The machine works on volumetric principal and is used to fill varieties of liquid products into various types of containers with precise accuracy on a continuous conveyor line. It is specially designed synchronized Servo motor based liquid filling machine, with high accuracy filling, two or three step filling.

  Volume adjustment, filling speed, two step filling, dive in speed, dive in range each and every thing is controlled by a single touch screen control. 

BASIC MACHINE FEATURES :

·      The machine works fully automatically and all operations are synchronized. Except the loading of empty container at in feed conveyor and removing the filled containers at out feed conveyor is to be done by the operator.

·      After filling the filled containers moves toward the out feed conveyor and the same cycle get repeated

·      All contact parts of the machine are in SS 304 or ss316 and machine structure will be covered by SS304 Sheets or will be hard chrome plated as per client need.

 SPECIAL FEATURES ON DEMAND AT EXTRA COST:

1.      DIVE IN TYPE NOZZLES :

With this feature before filling operation starts the nozzles enter into the container and the filling operation starts and slowly while filling it comes out and the operation completed. When the bottle mouth diameter is small and there is a risk of the product material getting spilled out while filling, dive in type nozzles are provided. Also when the product produces foam, it is necessary to provide such feature.

2.      PRODUCT DIGITAL COUNTER:

It counts the number of container which are getting filled to keep an eye on total production, one can also opt for preset limit based counter where you can preset the quantity of container you want to fill, machine will stop automatically once this quantity is achieved by  filling

3.      PLC BASED HMI TOUCH SCREEN OPERATION:

We use well known branded PLC components (Panasonic, Delta or Hitachi or Mitsubishi, Abb make) to synchronize various operation of machine, A suitable touch HMI can be given for easy operation of machine to show various ongoing function, programming can be customized for each machine to suit every application customized needs.

Main functions :

• Easy touch screen based volume adjustment.
• Easy volume liquid dispensing speed
• Two step liquid filling speed adjustment to avoid liquid falling out of bottle.
• Dive in speed adjustment, and height adjustment by touch screen.

4.  AUTO PUMP START STOP OPERATION WITH PIPING:

    This system is used to transfer the material from the main storage tank to the hopper of the machine using suitable kind of pump & geared motor. From the Pump the material is transferred to the hopper through piping  made in SS316.  There is a level sensor mounted on the hopper which detects the level in the hopper and once the product level reach below minimum desired level pump is started automatically and start filling the hopper and when it reaches to max product desired level pump stops. it can be put on manual mode and the material will transfer continuously till you don't stop the operation manually
