Fully Automatic Electric Food Filling Machine (220V, New PLC)

If you pack nuts, snacks, granules, or beverages into plastic bottles, jars, or barrels, a fully automatic 220V PLC-controlled filler can compress your labor, stabilize product quality, and unlock predictable throughput—without constant operator babysitting.

What this machine does

• Automates dosing and filling of free-flowing solids (nuts, trail mix, candies, seeds, rice, pellets) and liquids (water, juices, tea, cold brew, sauces with low particulates).

• Handles multiple container formats: PET/HDPE bottles, wide-mouth jars, and industrial barrels/drums (with appropriate nozzles and conveyor fixtures).

• Runs on standard 220V with a new PLC for recipe control, alarms, and production reporting.

---

Compatible products & containers

• Dry, free-flowing: peanuts, almonds, mixed snacks, coffee beans, granulated sugar, detergents, cat litter pellets.

• Liquids & thin syrups: water, ready-to-drink beverages, sports drinks, flavored tea, thin sauces, edible oils.

• Containers: 100–5,000 ml bottles and jars; larger drums/barrels with slow-fill nozzles.
  (Exact ranges depend on your chosen filling module and nozzle set.)

Key specifications (typical, configurable)

• Dosing technology: multi-head weigher or auger (for solids), flowmeter/piston/gravity (for liquids).

• Fill range: ~10–5,000 ml (liquids), ~10–2,000 g (solids), via change parts/recipes.

• Accuracy (under stable conditions):

  • Liquids: ±0.2–0.5% with flowmeter/piston.

  • Granules/nuts: ±0.5–1.0% with multi-head/auger.

• Speed (depends on volume, viscosity, heads): ~1,200–6,000 containers/hour.

• Air (if required): ~0.6–0.8 MPa, clean & dry.

• Materials: food-grade contact parts (e.g., SS304/SS316), tool-less disassembly options.

• Protection: interlocked guards, e-stops, low-level and jam alarms.

• Controls: modern PLC + HMI, recipe memory, shift counters, fault logs, I/O for line devices.

Why the new PLC matters

• One-touch recipes: switch container size or product in seconds (target weight/volume, nozzle lift, dive time, drip control).

• Real-time compensation: auto-adjusts dosing for temperature and product flow changes to keep accuracy tight.

• Production data: batch counts, OEE-friendly run/stop logs, reject analytics for continuous improvement.

• Interlocks & alarms: reduces operator error and scrap.

---

220V power: simple, stable, scalable

• Single-phase or three-phase 220V options (region-dependent), with noise-immune PLC I/O and protected drives.

• Supports add-ons—weighers, pumps, cappers, labelers—without overhauling your panel.

---

Fast changeovers & hygienic design

• Tool-less change parts and color-coded contact kits for allergens.

• Wet-wash or CIP-style cleaning paths for liquid lines; sanitary auger/wiper designs for dry products.

• HACCP-friendly surfaces; optional IP65/67 enclosures for splash zones.

---

Line integration (end-to-end)

• Infeed: unscramblers, hoppers, vibratory feeders.

• Filling: multi-head weigher/auger (solids) or piston/flowmeter (liquids).

• Post-fill: cappers, induction sealers, labelers, date/lot coders, checkweighers, case packers, palletizers.

• Conveyance: modular belting with jam detection and reject diverters.

Performance benchmarks (example scenarios)

Actual results depend on product, volume, and head count—these are typical ranges to set expectations.

• Beverage, 500 ml, 4-head flowmeter filler
  ~3,200–4,000 bph at ±0.3%

• Nuts, 454 g (1 lb), 14-head weigher
  ~1,800–3,000 cph at ±0.7%

• Cooking oil, 1,000 ml, 6-head piston
  ~2,400–3,000 bph at ±0.5%

---

Compliance & food safety

• Food-contact SS304/SS316, FDA/EU-compliant elastomers where specified.

• Allergen changeover SOPs, label/lot traceability hooks, and optional metal detection.

• Electrical enclosures and guarding meet common industrial standards in target regions.

---

ROI snapshot (illustrative)

• Current manual line: 8 operators × 400 containers/hour = 3,200 cph

• Automated filler: 2 operators × 4,000 containers/hour = 4,000 cph

• Labor delta: –6 operators/shift; at $15/hr and 2 shifts/day ≈ $180/day saved (~$54k/year).

• Giveaway reduction (nuts): from 1.8% to 0.8% on a $4.00 bag = $0.04 saved/unit; at 3,000 cph → $120/hour product saved.

• Combined savings can often pay back the machine within months, depending on volume.

FAQs

Q: Can one filler handle both nuts and beverages?
A: Yes—with module swaps (weigher/auger vs. liquid module) and dedicated contact kits to avoid cross-contamination.

Q: What if my beverages are viscous?
A: Use piston or mass-flow dosing with dive nozzles and anti-drip valves; size the pump/line for viscosity.

Q: How hard is cleaning?
A: Liquid paths support CIP-style flushes; dry paths use quick-release parts and vacuum-friendly housings.

Q: Can it talk to my capper/labeler?
A: The PLC offers standard I/O/fieldbus options for synchronized start/stop, faults, and rate control.
