6.What Are the Features of Cream Filling Machines?

The main filling principle of the cream filling machine is pneumatic piston filling. You will learn the main features from the pneumatic piston cream filling machine.

• Pneumatic Piston Cream Filling Machine

Pneumatic piston cream filling machine refers to the device that uses compressed gas as the power source for filling. The cylinder drives a piston and the three-way principle of the rotary valve to extract and discharge high-concentration materials.

The main feature of this type machine is the pedals, piston, filling volume, filling ranges, working principles.

Pedals

By controlling the pedals with your feet, the air will be compressed and then continuously sent into the valve. This type of machine can produce the pneumatic pressure of 0.4Mpa.

Piston

Pistons are the parts of the cylinder that complete the reciprocating motions which can help the cream filling. The cylinder drives the piston of the metering cylinder to move downwards and upwards that keeps the filling.

Filling Volume

The filling volume of this machine is convenient and quick to adjust, with beautiful appearance, compact structure and high filling speed.

Filling Range

With wide filling range, the cream filling machines can fill with the filling range of 10-150ml, 25-250ml, 100-1000ml, 250-2500ml, 500-5000ml.

Working Principles

When the cylinder drives the piston of the metering cylinder to move downward, the lower valve of the material tank opens. The metering cylinder absorbs the material, and the piston moves to the bottom end, then the metering cylinder is full of material, and the valve closes.

When the piston of the metering cylinder moves upwards, the valve core of the filling nozzle sinks and the filling starts, until the piston of the metering cylinder moves to the uppermost end, the filling stops.

7.What Will Affect the Filling Accuracy and Filling Speed When Running the Cream Filling Machine?

When the machine is in operation, you may encounter such a problem: why the filling speed and accuracy will be affected when each cream is filled. Let’s take a look at the factors that affect the filling accuracy and filling speed.

The Factors That Will Affect the Filling Accuracy:

• Compressed Air Stability

Some types of cream filling machines designed with pneumatic, so the air will be compressed to drive the creams and lotions. If the compressed air is not stable, then the filling accuracy will be affected. So you need to apply the stable compressed air for the machine then the filling accuracy will be greatly improved.

• Cream Balance

Material here is the filling materials. Never mix up the liquid with the creams or mix the granules with the creams then it will break the filling balance then the filling accuracy will be affected.

You need to make sure that the materials are evenly creams with little fluidity and keep the material balance of the filling materials, then the filling accuracy will be greatly improved.

• Filling Speed

The filling speed need to be adjusted from the filling materials and the filling machines. If you are filling materials with high fluidity like pastes and liquids, then the filling speed can be a little fast.

However, if you are filling materials with no fluidity or little fluidity, then the filling speed should be a little lower. Then the filling accuracy will not be affected.

The Factors That Will Affect the Filling Speed:

• Cream Viscosity

Material viscosity will greatly affect the filling speed. Different material has different viscosity. The more viscous the material, the poorer its fluidity, and the slower the filling speed will be. Conversely, the more fluid the material, the faster the filling speed will be.

• Hopper Sizes

Hoppers are applied for uploading the filling materials. If the hopper sizes are smaller, the materials filling speed will be slower. Conversely, the larger the hopper sizes, the faster the materials filling speed will be. If you have high requirements for filling speed, then we suggest that you try to choose bigger sizes of hoppers when configuring the machine.

• Filling Head Sizes

Filling heads are applied for filling the materials into the containers. If the filling heads are smaller, the materials filling speed will be slower. Conversely, the larger the filling heads, the faster the materials filling speed will be.

• Labor Work

Machine filling is divided into two modes: automatic and manual modes. The automatic mode is for the machine to fill continuously. Manually use foot-operated filling materials for workers according to their own experience.

In manual mode, material filling accuracy and speed will greatly affected by the labor work. Therefore, in order to ensure the filling accuracy and filling speed, you need to choose the automatic cream filling machine.

If you figure out all the above problems, the filling speed and accuracy of your machine will not be greatly affected.

8.What Are the Filling Speed of Different Types of Cream Filling Machines?

9.What Are the Differences Between Cream Filling Machine and Liquid Filling Machine?

• Filling Materials

Cream filling machines are mostly applied for filling cream products with high viscosity and less fluidity like pastes, creams, lotions, cosmetics, sauces, etc.

Liquid filling machines are mostly applied for filling liquid products with low viscosity and high fluidity like oils, beverages, liquors, alcohols, etc.

• Filling Methods

Cream filling machines are mostly applied for filling cream products with high viscosity and less fluidity. So it adopts the syringe (pressurized) filling. Because materials with poor fluidity require greater pressure for filling.

Liquid filling machines are mostly applied for filling liquid products with low viscosity and high fluidity. So liquid filling machines adopt atmospheric (isobaric) filling or vacuum (negative pressure) filling.

• Application Range

Cream filling machines are mostly applied in daily chemical, pharmaceutical, food, pesticide and other industries. The products mainly include cosmetics, lotions, creams. Liquid filling machines are mostly applied in food industry. The products mainly include oils, beverages.

• Filling Heads

Cream filling machines adopt bigger sizes of filling heads. Cream filling machines are mostly applied for filling  creams and lotions with high viscosity and less fluidity. So the cream filling machines need bigger sizes of filling heads

Liquid filling machines are mostly applied for filling liquid products with low viscosity and high fluidity. So liquid filling machines adopt smaller filling heads.

There is not much difference between Cream filling machine and liquid filling machine in essence. Different materials can also be filled with each other. However, there will be a huge difference in accuracy and speed from the adapted materials. Cream filling machine can also fill liquid materials. But liquid filling machine cannot fill cream material.
