What is a Can Filling / Filler Machine
A can filling machine is used to fill various container types with a product in different forms either through volumetric or quantitative filling. Depending on what container type or which industry a can filling machine is used, they are also known as:
Can fillers deliver liquids from low to high viscosity, solid, or powder products into special packages such as the following:
Bag-in-boxes
Bags
Cans
Jars
Pots
Vials
Bottles
Tanks
Buckets
Sacks
Tins
Our filling equipment and filling systems for tins and cans are essential in manufacturing industries to promote the efficiency and quality of the end products in the bottling process.
Types of Filling Machines
There are three common types of filling equipment used in the production in various industries based on the form of the product being handled as discussed in the following sections.
Liquid filling machines are also known as flow filling equipment and they can handle different types of liquids from water-like or semi-viscous to extremely thick and heavy-viscous products. Among all filling machine types, liquid filling machines are the most popular ones in the industry.
No single liquid filling machine type can handle all types of liquids found in all industries. For instance, a piece of filler equipment used to fill bottled water is not suitable for filling cosmetic products. Nor a chemical product filling equipment be used in filling dairy or pharmaceutical products.
Your choice of liquid filler equipment depends on different factors such as the following:
Viscosity
Temperature
Foam characteristics
Particulate size
Chemical compatibility
Hazard considerations
Moreover, liquid filling machines use different filling principles depending on the viscosity of the liquid handled. The most common ones in the market are the following:
These fill a container until a specific level in the container is reached. They are ideal for liquids with low to medium viscosity and foaming products.
A gravity filler is an overflow filler in which the liquid is filled into the bottles due to its weight
and they are ideal solutions for volumetric filling of low to medium viscous products such as solvents and acids.
Liquid filling machines use pumps to fill highly viscous products like jelly and honey.
These are the same as pump fillers but use pistons to pull and fill the product into a container instead of a pump.
Levapack’s Liquid Filling Machine is a gravity filler while our Viscous Liquid Filling Machine is of the piston type but you can customize your can fillers at the best price to your own requirements.
#2 Solid Filling Machines
Solid filling machines are used for the quantitative filling of granular products such as seeds, nuts, dried fruits, rice, and others. They use weighers and measuring cups to precisely fill the containers depending on the container’s capacity.
#3 Powder Filling Machines
Unlike solid filling machines, powder filling machines are used for quantitative dispensing of powdery products such as milk and nutrition powders. The most used machines for filling powders into containers are auger powder fillers. These filling equipment use a screw-type mechanism for dispensing discrete powder quantities into containers.
The auger is configured depending on whether the powder is free-flowing or not. Free-flowing powders are those that are not cohesive such as granulated table salt or sugar. These powder types will usually not get compressed when you add extra pressure and do not maintain their shape upon manipulation.
Non-free-flowing powders are, on the other hand, the opposite of free-flowing powders. Examples are powdered milk and brown sugar.
Major Components of a Can Filling Machine
A hopper holds the product that will be fed into the containers and depending on what type the machine is, it may include a level sensor to detect the amount of product contained in it.
#2 Filling Head/Nozzle
The filling head of the filling systems for tins and cans is where the product is dispensed from for filling into the container. This is connected to the hopper via a tube.
#3 Mechanical Drive System
The design of the filler equipment’s mechanical drive system can either create a linear or rotary motion. It controls all of the moving components of the filling machine such as the conveyor and gears through the use of mechanical motors.
#4 Sensors
Sensors in our filling systems for tins and cans ensure the right positioning of the containers being filled. It also guarantees that no product will be dispensed when no container is set below the filling nozzle/s.
#5 PLC Control System
This touch screen control system is where you set the settings of the filling process. It is integrated into the machine for efficient operation without any human intervention.
#6 Weigher or Measuring Cup
Levapack’s solid filling machines have weighers or a measuring cup for precise quantitative filling of the products into containers.
How Can Filling Machines Work
The initial process is to feed the containers to the filler equipment via the conveyor. Depending on the number of filling head/s the can filling packing machine has, it can fill one or more containers at a time. The product to be filled into the containers are put into the hopper or cylinder. They are dispensed into the containers out of the filling head through gravity filling or volumetric filling.
Gravity liquid fillers are the most commonly found types of normal liquid filling machines and fill the container to a specific level. For viscous fluid fillers, they are based on self-priming cylinders where the piston can move. The volume of the filled product depends on the piston’s diameter and the length of its stroke. A highly accurate volumetric fill is achieved as a result of the piston cylinder’s constant volume.
For the solid can filling packing machines, the quantity of the product filled into the containers depends on the set product weight or count in the machine. To achieve a precise quantitative fill, solid fillers use smart weighing and counting devices to measure the product before a specific quantity is filled into the containers.
