A bottle filler-capper-labeller machine can be a semi or fully-automated production line machine used to integrate the process of dosing or filling, screw capping, and labelling various viscous and non-viscous products efficiently and cost-effectively.
Our bottle filler-capper-labeller machines cover several applications and can be customised according to your production needs. For example, auxiliary equipment like airtight protective covers, bottle rinsers, feeding and collection turntables, temperature and abrasion-proof tubes, and date coders can be supplied on request according to your production requirements.
Packaging Applications
The bottle filler-capper-labeller machine, also known as a compact filling line, is widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical, medical, veterinary, food and beverage, cosmetic, and automotive industries for the packaging of goods like sauces, drinks, viscous medication, cosmetics, toiletries, cleaning chemicals, oil and lubrication products, greases, etc.
Advantages
- A versatile star-wheel capper can handle screw caps and special cap shapes.
- An efficient bottle-feeding system reduces the time and labour required for bottle-feeding.
- An accurate pneumatic bottle positioning system ensures precise container alignment.
- Intelligent programmable logic controller (PLC) and human-machine interface (HMI) controlled systems offer customisable programs according to speed and filling volumes.
- A high-tech microcomputer programmed to detect errors or bottle and cap shortages.
- The star-wheel capper is easily adjusted for different bottle or cap sizes.
- The speed of the feeding table was adjusted according to packaging requirements.
- Capping height can be adjusted with a handwheel.
- Custom programs are stored in the machine’s onboard memory for easy adjustment between processes.
- Specialised leakproof filling valves and pneumatic shut-off valves ensure ‘anti-bubble filling’ while eliminating the risk of spilling during packaging.
- Easy processing of smaller batches.
- A flexible microcomputer-controlled labeller for single, dual, and single-side dispensing and application with adjustable height and angle parameters.
- State-of-the-art photo-electric eye accurately regulates the labelling stage for optimal label adherence.
- The sophisticated photo-electric eye can detect any stoppages and material jams. In addition, an emergency stop switch instantly alerts the operator of any production errors.
- A powerful servo motor for simultaneous filling, manual weighing, and auto-quantitative filling.
- The durable stainless-steel construction conforms with the highest pharmaceutical current good manufacturing practice (cGMP) standards.
- Digital rail control and dual servo motors ensure smooth cap feeding, positioning, and dispensing with high-quality capping without damaging containers.
- Flow sensors and filling level detectors provide stable and accurate filling or dosing outputs.
- Production capacity counter records production rates and quantities for efficient quantitative statistical analyses.
- A smart shut-off valve ensures surplus liquid is directed into storage tanks and eliminates the need for additional recycling equipment.
How it works
Equipped with a bottle-feeding turntable, this machine uses dual-track conveying and a pneumatic bottle positioning system to align bottles accurately in the filling station. Depending on the product used for filling, multiple piston pump filling valves or peristaltic pumps will fill containers in various quantities.
Fitted with an additional pneumatic shut-off valve to prevent overfilling or spilling, the containers are moved along by automatic rail controls to be capped. The advanced auto-feeding star-wheel capper then places caps onto multiple containers before they are simultaneously pressed and screwed down. Once complete, the sealed containers are transported to a microcomputer-controlled labeller that accurately regulates the label application stage for optimal label adherence. After that, the high-tech driving system moves the finished containers through an out-feeder to a collection turntable for bulk packaging and distribution.
