Multi-head spout liquid filler is equipped with a PLC touch screen, conveyor belt, multiple filling outlets, and photoelectric sensing part. The operator can set up related parameters on the PLC touch screen. Photoelectric eye detector positions the bottles. The spout fills liquid into bottles when bottles pause under the outlets.
Characteristics of liquid filling machine
A liquid filling machine usually delivers and fills liquid through pipes due to the liquid property. Semi-automatic single nozzle liquid filler is one type of small filling machine.

The vacuum pump connects two pipes, one inserted its mouth into the material, the other one equipped with a spout to fill material into the container. Automatic multi-head liquid filler can fill multiple bottles at the same time, highly improving working efficiency. The liquid filling equipment can be used alone or matched with other machines to compose a whole production line, such as a bottle unscrambler, capping machine, labeling machine, output conveyor belt, coding device, etc.
Paste filling machine
The paste filler includes semi-automatic single outlet paste filler and automatic multi-head paste filler. The paste filling process is similar to the liquid one. The semi-automatic filler for paste consists of a hopper, single outlet, a rotary valve, cylinder, barometer, hand shank, and footswitch. The hopper is used to store the material temporarily when filling paste, a cone hopper, and U-type hopper are optional. The cone-shaped hopper is suitable for various paste without particles or sediment. While U-type hopper applies to sauces with particles or sediment because there is a stirring device inside to make sure material is even. And the U-type one has a bigger capacity. While multi-head paste filler is composed of a PLC touch screen, a hopper, conveyor belt, filling nozzles, an electric eye, and other devices. If the material you want to fill is viscous, it may be to add a heating device so as to fill quickly. Compared with semi-automatic outlet paste filler, multi-head paste one works more efficiently and accurately.
