Ensure that the filling machine is properly installed and leveled to avoid any tilting that could affect the accuracy of filling.
Check and calibrate all sensors, such as the level sensor and weight sensor (if applicable), according to the manufacturer's instructions before starting the operation.
Verify that the power supply voltage and frequency match the requirements of the filling machine to prevent electrical malfunctions.
Material Preparation:
The durian puree should be thoroughly stirred or homogenized to ensure a consistent texture and viscosity. Any lumps or unevenness in the puree may clog the filling nozzle or cause inaccurate filling.
The temperature of the durian puree should be controlled within a suitable range. If it is too cold, the viscosity may be too high, resulting in slow filling and potential blockages; if it is too hot, it may affect the quality and stability of the puree.
Make sure the durian puree is free from foreign objects or impurities that could damage the filling machine components or contaminate the filled products.
Filling Process:
Set the appropriate filling volume or weight parameters accurately. Incorrect settings will lead to overfilling or underfilling.
Monitor the filling speed. If it is too fast, it may cause splashing or foaming of the durian puree, which not only affects the appearance of the filled product but also may lead to inaccurate filling. If it is too slow, it will reduce production efficiency.
Check the sealing of the filling nozzles regularly. Any leakage from the nozzles will result in product loss and inaccurate filling.
Pay attention to the pressure (if it is a pressure filling machine) or vacuum (if it is a vacuum filling machine) levels. Fluctuations in these parameters can affect the filling accuracy and quality.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
After each production run, clean the filling machine thoroughly. Flush the pipes, valves, and nozzles with clean water or a suitable cleaning agent to remove any remaining durian puree. This helps prevent the build-up of residue that could affect the machine's performance and hygiene.
Inspect the moving parts, such as pistons (if it is a piston filling machine), for wear and tear. Replace any worn or damaged parts promptly to ensure the continued accuracy and reliability of the filling operation.
Lubricate the necessary components as recommended by the manufacturer to reduce friction and prolong the service life of the machine.
