Is your product suitable for automatic production lines?
What is an automatic production line? It is the route taken in the production process of a product, which starts from the entry of raw materials into the production site and consists of a series of production activities such as processing, transportation, assembly, and inspection. A narrow production line is a form of production organization that is organized according to the principle of objects and completes the product process. It is equipped with various equipment and workers for different types of work required to produce a certain product (parts, components) according to the principle of product specialization, responsible for completing all manufacturing work of a certain product (parts, components) and processing the same labor object with different processes. General structure of automatic equipment Automatic equipment typically consists of four systems. ❶Driving system The power source of automatic equipment. Such as electric drive, hydraulic drive, pneumatic drive, etc. ❷Transmission system The power of the device is transmitted to each actuator or auxiliary mechanism to complete the specified action process. Such as chain drive, pulley drive, friction drive, gear drive, or commonly used wire rope drive in elevators and lifting platforms. ❸Actuator system It is a system that enables automated and auxiliary operations. Such as electric actuators, pneumatic actuators, hydraulic actuators, etc. ❹Control system It is the control of the drive system, transmission system, and actuator of automated equipment, allocating motion to each actuator to coordinate their actions in time and sequence, thereby achieving the process function of automated equipment and completing automated production. Automatic control systems: Control systems can be divided into two categories based on the sequence of actions: timing control and stroke control systems. ㈠Timing control A timing control system refers to a control system that issues instructions in chronological order for operation; The timing control system has the following advantages and disadvantages: (1) Advantages: It can complete any complex work cycle and adjust normally without interfering with each other. Even if the distribution shaft rotates unevenly, it will not affect the sequence of each action, ensuring strict and reliable completion of the work cycle within the specified time. It is particularly suitable for high-speed automation equipment. (2) Disadvantages: Poor flexibility and lack of devices to detect whether the execution mechanism has completed its actions, resulting in insufficient safety. ㈡Travel control system It is a control system that controls the next action based on the travel signal from one action to a specified position. Advantages and disadvantages of travel control system: (1) Advantages: Control is carried out in a "command answer execute command" manner, which is safe and reliable; (2) Disadvantage: The time cycle from output to feedback and then to giving the next command is relatively long. When the first action is not completed, the next action cannot be started, which is not suitable for high-speed automatic equipment. Definition, Characteristics, and Applications of Automated Production Lines People refer to the production system formed by connecting specialized automatic equipment and auxiliary equipment through workpiece storage and conveying devices according to the product processing technology process, and having independent control devices, as an automatic production line. Automatic production lines are suitable for the production of the following products 1) Products that are standardized, produced in large quantities, and have a certain production cycle; Such as automatic box packing machine production line, non-standard production line 2) The structure of the product is convenient for transportation, automatic loading and unloading, positioning and clamping, automatic processing, assembly and testing 3) The product structure is relatively complex, with multiple processing steps and a long process route, resulting in the design of too many automated equipment subsystems, complex structures, large machine bodies, difficult control, and even inability to guarantee the quantity and quality of product processing. 4) The production process mainly involves packaging and assembly techniques. A series of supporting equipment such as folding machines, sealing machines, coding machines, and packing machines. 5) When automated equipment is not suitable for production due to factors such as processing methods, means, and environment, it can be designed as an automated production line.

High speed capsule filling machine
Capsule filling machine is a device that can fill drugs or other powders into capsules. Quantitative filling is a key function of capsule filling machines. It achieves this by controlling the movement of the filling head and the flow of medication. Specifically, the capsule filling machine uses a filling method called "weight control", which determines how much medication to fill by weighing each capsule. Firstly, the filling head will take out an empty capsule from the feeding hopper, and then weigh the capsule when filling the medication. When the weight of the capsule reaches the preset value, the machine will stop filling and wait for the arrival of the next capsule. The quantitative filling function of the capsule filling machine can ensure that the amount of medication in each capsule is consistent, thereby improving the safety and effectiveness of the medication. In addition, this machine can also improve production efficiency as it can process multiple capsules simultaneously and has a faster filling speed. In short, capsule filling machine is an efficient and precise equipment, which is of great significance for the filling of drugs and other powders.

The problem of the paste filling machine not discharging the material during filling
It is crucial for each device to successfully complete work production. The most important steps in the production of paste filling machines are cutting and filling. If the equipment cannot discharge during operation, the entire production will not continue. Delaying production plans will cause significant losses to the enterprise. What should we do when the paste filling machine does not discharge? Troubleshooting 1.Firstly, check if there is any product in the hopper. If there are no products, please add them. Attention: The product in the hopper cannot be less than 1/10. If it is less than 1/10, it will affect the filling accuracy. 2.Check if the filling tank of the filling machine is blocked. There are two types of blockages: first, due to the machine not being cleaned after a long period of filling, the products in the tank are frozen and blocked; Secondly, there are debris inside the product that gets stuck on the inner piston, resulting in poor sealing effect. If the above two situations occur, please clean it in a timely manner to avoid damaging the piston. 3.Neither of the above situations can solve the problem, that is, the sealing ring on the inner piston is damaged. Please replace it. The part below the hopper that delivers the product to the filling nozzle is called the lining. Operating instructions 1.Before use, clean the hopper and add the product (i.e. the paste liquid that needs to be filled). 2.After adding the product, manually press the manual control lever until the product can come out of the filling nozzle normally. 3.After the product comes out normally, adjust the filling amount. There is a plastic nut under the hopper. Turning clockwise can reduce the amount of filling, otherwise it will increase. After adjusting to the required filling amount, work can begin.

The working principle, advantages, and application fields of aluminum foil sealing machine
Aluminum foil sealing machine, as a conventional packaging equipment, has been widely used in multiple industries such as food, medicine, cosmetics, etc. It uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to fuse the aluminum foil sheet with the bottle mouth, thereby achieving product sealing and preservation. 01 - Working principle When the aluminum foil sealing machine is working, the AC power supply is converted into DC power through a rectifier, and then supplied to a high-frequency oscillator to generate high-frequency current. When this high-frequency current passes through the high-frequency coil, a strong magnetic field is generated around it. When the aluminum foil passes through the induction zone of the sealing machine, a strong magnetic field will penetrate the aluminum foil and generate strong eddy currents within it. Due to the inherent resistance of aluminum foil, these eddy currents can quickly generate a large amount of heat inside the foil, causing it to melt locally. At the same time, the pressure device of the sealing machine will apply a certain amount of pressure to the aluminum foil sheet, making it tightly adhere to the mouth of the container. As the aluminum foil melts, it will tightly bond with the container mouth under pressure, forming a complete and sealed seal. Throughout the entire process, the sealing machine precisely controls parameters such as heating time, pressure, and temperature through a control system to ensure the quality and stability of the sealing. At the same time, the sealing machine is also equipped with safety protection devices, such as overheating protection, overload protection, etc., to ensure the safety and reliability of operation. 02 - Advantage Fast sealing speed: The aluminum foil sealing machine adopts the principle of electromagnetic induction, resulting in fast sealing speed; Good sealing quality: The aluminum foil sealing machine has a flat and beautiful seal, and has good sealing performance, which can effectively prevent the penetration of gas, water, and microorganisms; Easy to operate: adopting automated design reduces the skill requirements of operators; Wide application range: suitable for sealing various materials, including glass, plastic, etc. 03 - Application fields Food industry: Aluminum foil sealing machine is used for sealing various canned foods, instant noodles, seasonings and other products, effectively extending product shelf life, maintaining food freshness and taste.

Uncover the production process of sunscreen spray
Summer is here, how can you protect your skin? No doubt people use sunscreen spray more. The sunscreen spray is popular among users because of its convenient use and good experience effect. So, do you know how sunscreen spray is produced? Here are the secrets of sunscreen spray production process and required equipment. Sunscreen spray is an aerosol product, which means that lotion or suspension is sealed in a pressure resistant container with a special valve system together with a suitable propellant, and the contents are sprayed out as mist with the pressure of the propellant. There are two packaging forms of sunscreen spray, one is on valve kind and two is bag on valve kind. On valve kind The propellant and material body of the on valve kind packaging sunscreen spray are mixed in the aerosol can. The propellant is used to pressurize to push the material body to spray out and assist in the material body atomization. It is sprayed together with the material body. If propane butane is seen in the composition list of the general sunscreen spray, it is the unitary sunscreen aerosol. Propane butane is flammable gas, so it is not very safe and environmentally friendly. Bag on valve kind The bag on valve kind packaging sunscreen spray also has a container in the aerosol can (usually prone to volume change under pressure), which forms two separation spaces with the can body. The propellant exerts pressure on the inner container outside, and the inner container is connected with the valve. Since the propellant is separated and completely disconnected from the outside, the safety and environmental protection are better. At present, the dual package sunscreen spray is more popular with consumers, with good experience effect, and can also be taken on trains and planes.

Working principle of powder packaging machine
From the perspective of quantitative principles, powder packaging machines mainly have two methods: volumetric and weighing. (1) Volumetric formula Volume based quantitative filling is achieved by controlling the volume of the filled material. The screw based quantitative filling machine belongs to the category of volume based quantitative filling. Its advantages are simple structure, no need for weighing devices, low cost, and high filling efficiency. The disadvantage of screw type quantitative filling machine is that the filling accuracy varies greatly depending on the different materials being filled, mainly relying on the stability of the apparent density of the filled materials, the uniformity of material particle size, as well as the moisture absorption and looseness of the materials. Therefore, volumetric filling is mainly suitable for material particles with uniform particle size, stable bulk density, and good self flow properties. Volume based quantitative filling packaging can be divided into two forms according to the different measurement methods of materials. One method is to control the flow rate or time of the filled material to control the filling volume, for example, by controlling the number or time of rotation of the screw in the screw filling machine to control the volume of the filled material, and by controlling the vibration time of the vibrating feeder to control the volume of the material. Another form is to use the same measuring container to measure materials for quantitative filling, such as using a measuring cylinder, measuring cup, or plunger type quantitative filling machine. Regardless of which volumetric quantitative filling method is used, there is a common problem, which is to ensure the stability of the bulk density of the filled material as much as possible. To achieve this requirement, methods such as vibration, stirring, nitrogen filling, or vacuum pumping are often used. If high filling accuracy is required, it is necessary to use an automatic detection device to continuously detect the changes in the apparent density of the filled material, and then continuously adjust it to ensure the accuracy of the filling volume. (2) Measurement filling The metering filling system mainly consists of a driving motor, a storage device, a screw, a screw installation sleeve, and so on. The rotation feeding of the screw is provided by a servo motor, and the power is transmitted synchronously between the two, which can control the number of screw rotations and improve the accuracy of feeding. The servo driver drives the servo motor to rotate the corresponding number of turns based on the input signal of the PLC, and drives the screw to rotate through the synchronous belt to complete each filling and feeding process.

What are the differences in filling methods between different filling machines
There are many types of filling machines commonly used in the industry, such as liquid type, paste type, and powder type. Their working principles are almost identical. However, some thicker filling machines require high pressure to fill the product into the bottle. The working principle of the filling machine is actually to achieve a linkage effect, which requires the use of transmission machinery to drive, so that various parts can work in coordination with each other. The commonly used semi-automatic filling machines with low production efficiency include direct current liquid filling and piston type paste filling. The working principle of direct current liquid filling is relatively simple. The filling method of constant current timing precisely controls the filling amount by adjusting the filling time under certain liquid level pressure conditions. A semi-automatic piston filling machine is a filling machine that fills high concentration fluids. It uses a three-way principle of a piston and a rotary valve driven by a cylinder to extract and dispense high concentration materials. The stroke of the cylinder is controlled by a magnetic spring switch to adjust the filling amount. The higher production efficiency naturally comes from various filling production lines equipped with different filling machines. The advantage of this type of filling machine production line lies in providing the manufacturing industry with high-performance, stable and reliable filling production lines; Less material waste, cost savings in large-scale production: programming and control according to production processes, high production efficiency, and low environmental pollution during the production process. Due to its special working principle, the filling machine production line can realize the route formed by a series of production activities such as processing, conveying, assembly, and inspection, starting from the raw materials entering the packaging equipment. The production line has great flexibility and can adapt to the needs of multi variety production. The application of the filling machine production line can achieve high-volume production in food, pharmaceutical, and daily chemical enterprises, thereby helping production enterprises achieve high-speed production.

Hot beverage filling vs. sterile cold filling-2
■ 6 ■ Different raw material costs Hot filling: The bottle body and mouth are required to be able to withstand high temperatures (low heat shrinkage rate), so high quality requirements are placed on the bottle and lid; Sterile cold filling: There is no high temperature resistance requirement for bottles and lids, so lightweight bottles and individual lids can be used. Compared to hot filling, the packaging cost of sterile cold filling is lower. ■ 7 ■ Different operating costs Hot filling: During the production process, the consumption of disinfectant is relatively low, but the production line speed is slow, and the production capacity is relatively low. Sterile cold filling: The consumption of disinfectant in production is relatively high, but the production speed is fast, and the production capacity is high. In comparison, the operating cost of sterile cold filling is lower than that of hot filling. ■ 8 ■ Outstanding advantages of PET sterile cold filling compared to hot filling. Adopting ultra-high temperature instantaneous sterilization technology (UHT), the heat treatment time of the material does not exceed 30 seconds, ensuring the taste and color of the product to the greatest extent possible, and preserving the content of vitamins (thermosensitive nutrients) in the material to the greatest extent possible. The filling operation is carried out in a sterile and normal temperature environment, and no preservatives are added to the product to ensure its safety. Improved production capacity saved raw materials, reduced energy consumption, and reduced product manufacturing costs. The progressiveness technology can be widely used for filling various products. ■ 9 ■ Aseptic filling technology environment At room temperature (≤ 30 ℃), sterile products are filled into sterile packaging containers in a sterile environment and then sealed. Aseptic environment: The filling and sealing of the entire product are completed in a sterile environment, so the hygiene requirements for the filling environment are high. Filling is generally completed in a closed filling equipment, and all media and packaging materials entering the filling equipment must undergo sterile treatment. At the same time, the surface of the filling equipment must also undergo sterile treatment to ensure the sterility of the entire filling environment. The media entering the filling equipment include air, water, and material liquid; The packaging materials include bottles and caps. Air treatment: It is completed using an air filtration system, which generally consists of primary efficiency filters, medium efficiency filters, and high-efficiency filters. The primary filter mainly filters dust particles in the air; The medium efficiency filter mainly filters out larger bacteria and some dust particles in the air, with a filtration efficiency of over 85%; Efficient filters can almost filter out all bacteria in the air, including the smallest ones, with a filtration efficiency of over 99.97%. The processed air is called sterile air, and the production process requires regular validation of the sterility of sterile air to ensure product quality. Water treatment: There are currently two methods: the first method is to use UHT equipment to sterilize the water entering the filling environment; The second method is to use a sterile filtration system for pure water, and the treated water is called sterile water. The water mentioned here is not the water we use to mix drinks. Aseptic water mainly rinses sterilized bottle caps and bottles in the filling environment and rinses the surface of the filling environment after disinfection. Treatment of packaging materials: packaging materials refer to bottle caps and bottles. Bottle caps and bottles are sterilized through disinfectant. Due to different sterilization methods of production equipment, Tetra Pak, Tetra Pak pillow, black and white film and other packaging methods in the dairy industry generally use immersion sterilization, while PET bottled drinks generally use infusion or spray sterilization. The main disinfectants used for disinfecting packaging materials are peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Material liquid treatment: UHT equipment is used to sterilize the material liquid, and the water entering the filling environment is sterilized.

Hot beverage filling vs. sterile cold filling-1
Sterile cold filling refers to the cold (room temperature) filling of beverage products under sterile conditions, which is different from the commonly used high-temperature hot filling method under normal conditions. When filling under sterile conditions, the parts on the equipment that may cause microbial contamination of the beverage are kept in a sterile state, so there is no need to add preservatives to the beverage, and there is no need to perform post sterilization after the beverage is filled and sealed. This can meet the requirements of a long shelf life and maintain the taste, color, and flavor of the beverage. ■ 1 ■ Different filling processes Hot filling: The product, bottle, and lid are sterilized. After the product is filled into a PET bottle, the center temperature of the product is measured to be 88 degrees. High temperature products are sterilized by pouring the bottle and then cooled to room temperature in a cooling machine; Cold filling: Sterilize the product, bottle, and lid separately, fill them in a sterile environment, and completely seal the product and bottle before leaving the sterile environment. ■ 2 ■ Differences in process flow The biggest difference is the heating time of the product. Aseptic cold filling: The product uses UHT ultra-high temperature instant sterilization, then quickly cools to room temperature, and is stored in a sterile tank for filling at any time; Hot filling: The product adopts UHT high-temperature instantaneous sterilization, and then cools to above 90 degrees; After infusion, the product temperature is 88 degrees. Due to the prolonged heating time of the product, it has a certain impact on color, flavor, nutrition, etc. ■ 3 ■ Different production line configurations Hot filling: 1. When the filling machine malfunctions and stops, the product will reflux inside the sterilization machine, and repeated sterilization will cause certain damage to the flavor and nutrition of the product; 2. Equipped with large cooling equipment to cool the filled products to room temperature. Sterile cold filling: 1. After the product sterilization is completed, it is temporarily stored in a sterile tank and there will be no repeated sterilization; 2. The product is filled at room temperature and does not require cooling equipment. ■ 4 ■ Differences in PET bottles Hot filling: The process requires PET bottles to withstand high temperatures above 92 degrees Celsius, so the PET bottles used should have the following characteristics: 1. Bottle wall thickness, with clear bottle wall ribs to prevent thermal shrinkage 2. Bottle mouth crystallization, the bottle mouth does not deform during infusion and cooling processes Sterile cold filling: The maximum heat resistance temperature is 60 degrees, so lightweight PET bottles and standard caps can be used, greatly reducing the cost of bottles and caps. ■ 5 ■ Different production lines Hot filling: The bottle blowing machine has a slow speed and high power consumption. Under the same production capacity, the investment is much higher than that of the cold filling bottle blowing machine (excluding bottle preform equipment); Sterile cold filling: The blow molding machine used for sterile cold filling has a fast blowing speed and low power consumption. However, the sterile cold filling process is complex and there are many auxiliary filling equipment. Overall, the initial investment of a sterile filling production line is higher than that of a hot filling production line.

Beverage processing production line: Three canning methods and characteristics of beverage filling machines
Beverage filling machines are a subclass of packaging machinery used for producing bottled, barreled mineral water, and other drinking water. It consists of cleaning, filling, and sealing. It is an ideal equipment for producing mineral water and purified water. Next, let's take a look at the three commonly used canning methods: 1. Atmospheric pressure method The normal pressure method, also known as the pure gravity method, means that under normal pressure, liquid materials flow into packaging containers by their own weight. Most free flowing liquid materials without gas can be filled in this way, such as Baijiu, fruit wine, milk, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. 2. Isobaric method The isobaric method, also known as the pressure gravity filling method, is to first inflate the packaging container under high atmospheric pressure, so that the air pressure is equal to the air pressure inside the storage tank, and then rely on the weight of the filling liquid flowing into the packaging container. This method is commonly used for filling carbonated beverages, such as beer. This method can reduce the loss of CO2 contained in this type of product and prevent excessive bubbles from affecting product quality and quantitative accuracy during the filling process. 3. Vacuum method The vacuum method is used for filling under conditions below atmospheric pressure and can be carried out in two ways: ① Differential pressure vacuum The storage tank is in a normal pressure state, only vacuuming the packaging container to form a vacuum, and filling is completed by relying on the pressure difference between the storage tank and the container to be filled. This method is commonly used in China. ② Gravity vacuum The liquid storage tank is inside a vacuum packaging container. It is first vacuumed to form a vacuum degree equal to the liquid storage tank, and then the liquid material flows into the packaging container by its own weight. Due to its complex structure, it is rarely used in China. Vacuum filling is widely used and suitable for filling liquid materials with slightly higher viscosity, such as oil, syrup, etc. During the use of the beverage filling machine, it is necessary to constantly check and add oil mist, and the oil must be kept at one-third position. The discharge piston and the sealing ring cylinder at the lower end of the discharge need to be replaced in a timely manner after wear. When cleaning, try to avoid being scratched by sharp and hard objects. If there is contamination, you can wipe it with alcohol and make sure to keep your whole body clean.

Fully automatic tracking filling machine
The liquid filling machine is mainly composed of a translational filling part, a piston filling part, a material handling conveyor line, and a liquid storage tank. 1) Tracking filling part: The main function is to synchronously translate and follow the bottle filling liquid with the can mechanism. 2) The piston filling part is mainly responsible for extracting the liquid from the liquid storage tank and driving the liquid into the filling head through the pipeline according to the multi-stage speed control. 3) Material handling conveyor line: mainly responsible for conveying empty bottles and playing the role of controlling the spindle. 4) Liquid storage tank: Control the storage of tank liquid based on liquid level sensors. Tracking filling machine: Empty bottles are transferred to the filling machine conveyor shaft along the material handling conveyor line, and the position of each bottle is obtained through photoelectric sensors (probes). The bottles enter the filling machine, and each can is filled with liquid in sequence, automatically following intelligent selection to meet the requirements of no bottle leakage or refilling. The conveyor belt does not stop, greatly increasing efficiency.

Label machine
With the development of science and technology and the continuous changes in consumer market demand, people have begun to put forward higher requirements for packaging equipment. The stronger the functionality, the better, and the simpler the operability, the better. Driven by strong market demand, both inner and outer packaging can now be carried out manually or mechanically. Among them, the outer packaging generally involves equipment such as labeling machines, inkjet printers, packing machines, and bundling machines. In daily life, packaging on consumer goods usually appears in the form of labels, which are applied in various industries, such as shampoo, medicine bottles, sauce bottles, and beverages; And in most cases, the labels on these products are automatically labeled by self-adhesive labeling machines. The self-adhesive label paper used by the Hanmo labeling machine is a roll type. During the operation of the machine, the bottle sorting machine's supporting system automatically enters the bottle, and the roller tears the label off the backing paper and attaches it to the required labeling position of the target product. It is an automated packaging engineering equipment. The labels affixed by the labeling machine are neat and beautiful. With the development of labeling technology, its functions have become more complete, and efficiency and accuracy have steadily improved, providing a good foundation for the large-scale production of production enterprises. According to the degree of automation of labeling equipment, it can be divided into semi-automatic and fully automatic labeling machines; A high degree of automation means simple operation, but the price is relatively higher. The price of the labeling machine can be selected according to the actual situation. In addition, according to the characteristics of the product being pasted, there are two common types: Round bottle labeling machine: suitable for cylindrical bottles, the labeling methods can generally be divided into horizontal labeling and vertical labeling. Horizontal labeling, which means having the bottle lie flat to complete the labeling; Vertical labeling, relative to the former, means that the label is upright. Semi automatic round bottle labeling machines are generally horizontal, while fully automatic machines come in two types: horizontal and vertical; Flat labeling machine: suitable for labeling the surface of objects. For example, barcode and bottle cap labeling. These types of labeling machines are generally vertical, and there are very few horizontal labeling machines.
