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.
