The working efficiency of the gear pump filling machine is relatively high, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Rapid Liquid Extraction and Conveyance
The working principle of the gear pump enables it to extract and convey liquid quickly. Once the gears start to rotate, the liquid will be continuously drawn from the liquid storage tank into the tooth grooves of the gears and then extruded through the outlet into the filling container. The process of extraction and conveyance is a relatively stable and continuous mechanical movement process without complex waiting times or intermediate pauses, thus ensuring a relatively high liquid filling speed.
For example, in some medium-sized edible oil filling production lines, the gear pump filling machine can complete the filling work of dozens of bottles (assuming each bottle has a capacity of 500ml - 1L) per minute. If it is for small-capacity packaging, such as small bottles of edible oil or cosmetic liquids, the number of bottles filled per minute can be even higher.
High Precision Reduces Error Time
The gear pump filling machine can provide relatively precise flow control, which also helps to improve the working efficiency. Since it can accurately fill according to the set filling volume, it reduces the time required for adjustments or rework due to inaccurate filling volumes.
For example, if during the filling process, each filling volume can be precisely controlled within a very small error range, there is no need to refill or handle the products that are overfilled or underfilled, thus ensuring the high efficiency of the entire filling process.
Stable Operation Reduces Downtime Due to Failures
The gear pump itself has a simple structure with relatively few components. As long as it is maintained properly, its stability is relatively high. This means that during the long working process, the probability of equipment failures is relatively low, thus reducing the downtime caused by equipment failures.
For example, compared with some other types of filling machines with complex structures that are prone to blockages or mechanical failures, the gear pump filling machine can still maintain a stable operating state even when working continuously for several hours or even days, thus ensuring a relatively high production efficiency.
However, the actual working efficiency of the gear pump filling machine will also be affected by various factors. For example, the viscosity of the liquid being filled will have a certain impact on the work of the gear pump. If the liquid viscosity is relatively high, such as some thick edible oils or liquids containing impurities, it may increase the resistance to the rotation of the gears, resulting in a slower flow rate and further affecting the working efficiency. In addition, the proficiency of the operators, the feeding speed, and the supporting equipment (such as the speed of the conveyor belt, the timeliness of container supply, etc.) will also have a certain impact on the overall working efficiency.
