When choosing an automatic rotary pump filling machine that suits you, the following aspects can be considered:
Product Characteristics:
Material Types:
Liquid Materials: If your product is a liquid with low viscosity, such as milk, mineral water, fruit juice, etc., you should choose a filling machine with a fast filling speed and high precision. For liquids with certain corrosiveness, such as some chemical liquids, it is necessary to choose filling machine components made of corrosion-resistant materials. For example, the pump body, pipelines, etc. can be made of stainless steel 316L and other materials.
Paste Materials: For paste products such as toothpaste, honey, and sauces, it is necessary to choose a filling machine suitable for filling high-viscosity materials to ensure that the paste can be filled smoothly and accurately. The rotary pump has good adaptability for transporting high-viscosity materials, but the viscosities of different pastes also vary. The appropriate model and parameters of the rotary pump should be selected according to the actual situation.
Material Characteristics: If the material is prone to foaming, it is necessary to choose a filling machine with an anti-foaming function, or adopt a special filling method during the filling process, such as controlling the filling speed from slow to fast and then slow again to reduce the generation of bubbles. If the material is volatile, the sealing performance of the equipment should be considered to prevent the waste and environmental pollution caused by the volatilization of the material.
Production Requirements:
Production Scale:
Large-scale Production: For enterprises engaged in large-scale production, a filling machine with a high degree of automation and high production efficiency should be chosen, such as multi-head filling and high-speed filling equipment, which can greatly improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs. At the same time, attention should be paid to the stability and reliability of the equipment to ensure continuous operation for a long time.
Small-scale Production or Multi-variety Production: If the production batch is small or there are many product varieties, a filling machine that is easy to adjust and switch should be chosen, which can quickly change the filling specifications and parameters to meet the filling requirements of different products. Some equipment has the function of storing multiple formulas, which can conveniently call different filling parameters to improve the flexibility of production.
Filling Precision Requirements: For industries with high requirements for filling precision, such as the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, a filling machine with high precision should be chosen. Generally, the filling precision of the filling machine should be within ±1%, or even higher. High-precision filling machines usually adopt advanced metering devices, such as flow meters, weighing sensors, etc., which can accurately control the filling volume.
Production Environment: If the production environment is relatively harsh, such as high temperature, humidity, dust, etc., a filling machine with a high protection level and the ability to adapt to the harsh environment should be chosen. For example, the shell of the equipment should have good sealing, waterproof and dustproof properties, and the electrical components should have moisture-proof and explosion-proof properties.
Equipment Performance:
Filling Speed: The required filling speed should be determined according to the production requirements. Generally, the filling speed ranges from several hundred bottles to several thousand bottles per hour. When choosing a filling machine, the technical parameters of the equipment should be checked to see whether its filling speed can meet the production requirements. At the same time, attention should be paid to the balance between the filling speed and the filling precision. Too fast a filling speed may affect the filling precision.
Equipment Stability: The stability of the equipment directly affects the normal progress of production. A filling machine with a solid structure, stable operation and low failure rate should be chosen. The information about the production factory, brand and reputation of the equipment can be checked to understand the quality and stability of the equipment. In addition, whether the maintenance of the equipment is convenient is also a factor to be considered. Equipment that is easy to maintain can reduce maintenance costs and downtime.
Compatibility and Expandability: The production line of an enterprise may be continuously upgraded and expanded, so a filling machine with strong compatibility and good expandability should be chosen. The equipment should be able to be conveniently connected and coordinated with other production equipment, such as realizing automated production with conveyor belts, packaging machines, etc. At the same time, it should be considered whether the equipment can be conveniently upgraded and transformed to meet the future production requirements.
Equipment Material and Hygiene Standards:
Equipment Material: In the food, pharmaceutical and other industries, the choice of equipment material is crucial. Automatic rotary pump filling machines usually should adopt high-quality stainless steel materials, such as 304, 316L, etc., which have good corrosion resistance and easy-to-clean properties and meet the relevant hygiene standards and requirements.
Hygiene Design: The design of the equipment should meet the hygiene standards, avoiding the existence of dead corners for hygiene, and being convenient for cleaning and disinfection. For example, the filling head, pipelines and other components should be easy to disassemble and clean, and the surface of the equipment should be smooth and flat, not easy to accumulate dust and breed bacteria.
After-sales Service:
Supplier Reputation: Choosing a supplier with a good reputation and word-of-mouth can ensure the quality of the equipment and after-sales service. The reputation of the supplier can be understood by searching on the Internet, consulting peers, etc.
After-sales Service Contents: The supplier should provide complete after-sales service, including equipment installation and debugging, training, maintenance and repair, etc. Before purchasing the equipment, it is necessary to understand the after-sales service commitment of the supplier, such as the warranty period, the response speed of maintenance, whether spare parts are provided, etc.
Technical Support: The supplier should be able to provide timely technical support to help solve the problems encountered during the use of the equipment. For example, whether there are professional technicians to provide remote guidance or on-site repair, and whether the equipment can be timely upgraded and transformed to meet the future production requirements.
