Working Principle
The gummy twin-screw pump filling machine is mainly composed of components such as twin screws, the pump body, the feeding port, the discharging port, and the driving device. The twin screws mesh and rotate with each other inside the pump body. As the screws rotate, sealed chambers are formed between the screws and the pump body, as well as between the two screws. At the feeding port end, when the screws rotate, the volume of the sealed chamber here gradually increases, forming a low-pressure area, thus sucking the gummy materials to be filled into the chamber. Then, with the continuous rotation of the screws, the materials are pushed axially. At the discharging port end, the volume of the chamber gradually decreases, generating high pressure, and then accurately filling the materials into the packaging containers.
Features
Precise Measurement: The meshing and rotational movement of the twin screws can precisely control the conveying amount of the materials, ensuring that the amount of gummy materials filled each time is relatively accurate, which helps to ensure the consistency and quality stability of the products.
Wide Application Range: It can be applied to the filling of gummy materials with different viscosities and shapes. Whether it is high-viscosity gel-like gummies or gummies with particles such as fruit pieces, it can convey and fill them well.
Good Hygiene: It is usually made of food-grade stainless steel and other materials, with a smooth surface and no hygienic dead corners, making it easy to clean and disinfect. It complies with the hygienic standards of food production and can effectively prevent the gummy materials from being contaminated.
Smooth Operation: The transmission mode of the twin screws makes the materials move smoothly during the conveying process, without generating strong impacts and vibrations. This reduces the possibility of deformation and damage of the gummies during the filling process, which is beneficial to maintaining the integrity of the appearance and shape of the gummies.
High Degree of Automation: Generally, it can be used in conjunction with other automated production equipment to realize the full-process automation of gummy production from ingredient preparation, shaping to filling, improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.
Application Fields
Food Processing Industry: It is mainly used for the filling production of various types of gummies, such as fruit-flavored gummies, fruit juice gummies, functional gummies, etc. It is an important equipment for gummy production enterprises to improve production efficiency and product quality.
Pharmaceutical Industry: In the pharmaceutical field, it can be used for the filling of some gel-like pharmaceuticals and health products, such as the filling operations of pharmaceuticals or health products like vitamin gummies and probiotic gummies.
Selection Key Points
Production Capacity: According to the production scale and output requirements of the enterprise, select a gummy twin-screw pump filling machine with appropriate flow rate and filling speed to ensure that it can meet the production plan.
Material Characteristics: Fully consider the characteristics of the gummy materials, such as viscosity, temperature, fluidity, and whether there are particles, etc. Select the screw material, structure, and pump type that can adapt to the material characteristics to ensure the filling effect.
Filling Precision: If there is a high requirement for the filling precision of the gummies, it is necessary to select a filling machine with a high-precision measurement function to reduce the weight error of the products.
Hygienic Standards: Ensure that the filling machine complies with relevant food hygiene standards, such as EHEDG and FDA standards. The equipment should be easy to clean and disinfect to avoid material residues and the breeding of bacteria.
Brand and After-sales Service: Select a gummy twin-screw pump filling machine from a well-known brand with reliable quality, which can ensure the performance and stability of the equipment. At the same time, good after-sales service can promptly solve the problems that occur during the use of the equipment and reduce the downtime.
