Filling Lines from Bottle Unscramblers to case Packers with Central Control Systems

Filling lines from bottle unscramblers to case packers with central control systems involves a sophisticated process that ensures efficiency and accuracy in the packaging of products. Here's an overview of the key components and steps involved in this automated packaging system:

Bottle Unscrambler:

Purpose: Bottle unscramblers are machines designed to organize and orient bottles before they enter the filling line.

Operation: Bottles are fed into the unscrambler in a disorganized manner and are then sorted and positioned correctly for the filling process.

Filling Machine:

Purpose: Filling machines are responsible for accurately dispensing the product into individual bottles.

Operation: Bottles move along a conveyor system to the filling station, where a precise amount of product is dispensed into each bottle. This process can be achieved through various methods, such as gravity filling, volumetric filling, or piston filling.

Capping Machine:

Purpose: After filling, bottles may need to be sealed with caps or lids.

Operation: Bottles move to the capping machine, where caps are securely placed and tightened onto the bottles.

Labeling and Coding:

Purpose: Labels and codes are applied to the bottles for product identification and traceability.

Operation: Automated labeling machines affix labels to the bottles, and coding systems print batch numbers, expiration dates, or other relevant information.

Checkweigher:

Purpose: To ensure that each filled bottle has the correct amount of product.

Operation: Bottles pass through a checkweigher that measures their weight. Any bottles deviating from the specified weight range are rejected from the line.

Case Packer:

Purpose: Case packers are machines that pack filled bottles into cases for shipping and distribution.

Operation: Filled and capped bottles move to the case packing station, where they are arranged in the correct configuration and loaded into cases.

Central Control System:

Purpose: To manage and synchronize the entire packaging line.

Operation: A central control system oversees and coordinates the operation of each machine in the packaging line. It monitors and adjusts parameters, controls conveyor speeds, and ensures the seamless transfer of bottles from one station to another.

Quality Control Systems:

Purpose: To identify and reject defective products.

Operation: Integrated cameras or sensors can be employed for quality control. Bottles that do not meet specified criteria (e.g., incorrect fill level, missing cap) are automatically rejected from the line.

The integration of a central control system enables real-time monitoring, data collection, and adjustments to optimize the entire filling and packaging process. Additionally, it allows for quick identification and resolution of issues to minimize downtime and enhance overall efficiency.

At Laub\Hunt, we understand that modern production lines demand high-speed volumetric filling coupled with industry-leading accuracy , versatility , and robust engineering . Our Rotary Volumetric Filler , also known as the Posifiller , delivers just that—precise, high-output filling for countless container and product types. High Speed, High Throughput Built for demanding operations, the Rotary Volumetric Filler runs at up to 600 containers per minute (cpm) while offering fill accuracy of ±¼ % , minimizing product waste and inconsistencies. Its rotary design supports speeds up to 600 cpm and accommodates up to 120 nozzles on large-frame machines. Wide Range Compatibility: From Thin to Thick This filler is engineered to handle a broad viscosity range—from water-thin liquids like water or light juices, to heavier syrups, oils, detergents and shampoos . Its enclosed filling system ensures product integrity and precision across the spectrum. Containers from 1 oz to 5 gallon volumes are accommodated with minimal changeover time and tool-free adjustments. Precision Mechanics at Work At the heart of the Posifiller is a unique enclosed piston‑cylinder assembly. A free-floating piston delivers exact volumes by displacement between positive stops, controlled by an adjustable volume rod. The four‑way spool valve maintains balanced pressure and enables accurate two-phase pistoning for each fill. These design features deliver consistent fill volumes and ensure extremely low deviation—critical in regulated or costly product environments. Watertight Design for Hygiene and Efficiency Sanitary operation is built into the design. No ambient air enters the system—from surge tank to nozzle—thanks to the closed construction of the Posifiller. This reduces contamination risk and maintains product quality. The system is also washdown-capable , with all drive motors placed atop the unit; and CIP (clean-in-place) product flush systems are standard or optionally automated. Engineered for Flexibility and Ease Designed for minimal downtime, the machine enables on‑the‑fly volume adjustment across stations via a motorized volume plate—ideal for format changes or multiple SKUs. Starwheels and nozzle assemblies allow tool‑free starwheel changes , making size changeovers fast and operator‑friendly. Industry‑Grade Features Stainless steel construction (T304 standard, optional T316 or specialty materials for caustic applications) Individually adjustable cylinders and nozzles Safety-interlocked guarding and AC drive with clutch Premium options including explosion-proof (NEMA‑4X or NEMA‑7) electrics and automatic CIP Conveyor lengths up to 10 ft with precision Delrin chain guides Why Choose Laub\Hunt’s Rotary Volumetric Filler? With unmatched precision, high-speed throughput, and broad product/container adaptability, Laub\Hunt’s Posifiller is trusted in food & beverage, personal care, chemicals, household products, and more. Whether filling shampoos, oils, syrups or beverages, this filler delivers speed, efficiency and flexibility you can rely on.
