Sauce packaging machine

Background of the emergence of semi fluid sauce filling machines: Compared to fluid filling, semi fluid filling is more complex. The semi fluids we mainly see in daily life are not only chili sauce, mushroom sauce, peanut butter, Douban sauce in seasonings, but also many daily chemical products including shampoo, shower gel, etc. These products have a common characteristic of poor fluidity, while seasonings are even more special, such as mushroom sauce sometimes having solid substances. They can also rot or corrode equipment, and when producing such products, not only filling but also equipment cleaning should be considered. In this case, targeted filling equipment such as semi fluid sauce filling machines have emerged.

Semi fluid sauce packing machines are divided into fully automatic filling machines and semi-automatic filling machines. As the name suggests, semi-automatic filling machines require more manual participation, such as manual bottle making, manual filling signals (foot pedal switch or touch sensor), and manual bottle opening. In this way, the operators of the machine need strong endurance to achieve good output. The automatic semi fluid sauce filling machine requires almost no manual intervention and can achieve automatic bottle blocking, automatic bottle placement, automatic filling, and automatic alarm or automatic feeding when there is not much material in the material box. In the cleaning process, semi-automatic machine cleaning solution is much more troublesome compared to fully automatic. Fully automatic can achieve one click cleaning function, which is very convenient. Compared to semi-automatic filling machines, fully automatic filling machines also have speed advantages. Semi automatic filling machines can only have two heads per machine, with production speeds ranging from 1000 bottles per hour to hundreds of bottles per hour. Fully automatic machines can expand the number of filling heads to more than ten, and can also be made into double rows. The production efficiency can be as high as 6000 bottles per hour.

What kind of filling machine is usually used for sauce filling?

1. High speed rotary sauce filling equipment

High speed rotary filling machine equipment is suitable for products of large brands and companies with a very large daily output. Due to its fast production speed and high technical requirements, the price naturally ranges from millions. The rotary filling machine has reached a new level in both construction and performance, with precise filling volume adjustment devices and mechanical and electrical overload automatic protection devices. During the filling process, the valve nozzle is always kept equidistant from the liquid level. The filling can also be designed with the valve nozzle inserted or removed from the liquid according to the type of bottle and material liquid, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of liquid foaming.

2. Linear filling equipment

Linear filling equipment is a relatively long production line (assembly line) where each production link operates independently. It is usually a linear filling production line composed of a bottle feeding turntable, an automatic filling machine, an automatic capping machine, an automatic vacuum capping machine, an automatic labeling machine, and a bottle receiving turntable. Some also come with automatic packing machines and packaging machines. It still needs to be determined based on one’s own needs and budget. The linear filling machine equipment is suitable for products with high output.

3. Chuck style chili sauce filling machine

Chuck type filling equipment is more suitable for products with medium output compared to linear filling equipment. The characteristics of the equipment are small footprint and compact structure. Very suitable for products with small workshops and low production requirements.
