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.

Precision Filling with Laub/Hunt Pressure Metering Fillers

September 2, 2025
At Laub/Hunt, we specialize in Pressure Metering Fillers designed for high-viscosity foods and semi-liquid products. These systems are built to handle challenging applications while delivering precise, consistent fills every time. The heart of the Pressure Metering system lies in its innovative filling head. This head is made of three plates carefully engineered to work together: The top two plates remain stationary to stabilize the flow. The bottom plate rotates , controlling the product’s movement and ensuring accurate portioning. This unique design allows for efficient filling of products that are too thick or uneven in texture for standard filling systems. From sauces and creams to chunky spreads and semi-liquid foods, our Pressure Metering Fillers are built to keep production lines running smoothly without sacrificing quality. Manufacturers trust Laub/Hunt for equipment that is durable, easy to maintain, and adaptable to a variety of product types. By combining precision engineering with robust construction, our fillers offer long-term reliability in even the most demanding environments. Looking to upgrade your filling line? Contact Laub/Hunt today to learn how our Pressure Metering Fillers can improve your efficiency and deliver unmatched accuracy in your production process.

Information about Mag Flow (Magnetic Flow) Rotary Fillers

August 29, 2025
Information about Mag Flow (Magnetic Flow) Rotary Fillers Mag Flow (Magnetic Flow) Rotary Fillers are a type of filling machine commonly used in the beverage industry for filling liquid products into bottles or containers. These fillers utilize magnetic flow meter technology to achieve precise and accurate filling. Here's an overview of Mag Flow Rotary Fillers: Magnetic Flow Meter Technology: Principle: Mag Flow Fillers rely on the principles of electromagnetic flow measurement. When a conductive liquid flows through a magnetic field, it induces a voltage that is directly proportional to the flow rate. Accuracy: This technology provides high accuracy in measuring the flow rate of liquids, making it suitable for applications where precise filling volumes are crucial. Rotary Filling Mechanism: Design: Mag Flow Rotary Fillers are equipped with a rotary mechanism that allows bottles to move through the filling station in a circular or rotary fashion. Advantages: The rotary design enables high-speed filling operations, making these fillers suitable for high-throughput production lines. Bottle Handling System: Conveyor System: Bottles are typically transported on a conveyor system that moves them through different stations, including filling and capping. Indexing: The rotary mechanism indexes the bottles through each station, ensuring that they are precisely positioned for filling. Filling Process: Precision Filling: Mag Flow technology ensures accurate and repeatable filling volumes. The flow meter measures the liquid flow rate, and the filling nozzles dispense the exact amount of product into each bottle. Clean Filling: These fillers are suitable for filling a variety of liquid products, including beverages, and are often used in applications where cleanliness and hygiene are essential. Capping Station: Integration: Mag Flow Rotary Fillers are often part of a larger packaging line that includes a capping station. After filling, bottles move to the capping station where caps are applied and secured. Control System: Automation: These fillers are typically equipped with an automated control system that oversees the filling process. This system ensures that the correct fill volume is maintained, and it may interface with a central control system for the entire packaging line. Cleaning and Maintenance: CIP (Clean-in-Place): Mag Flow Rotary Fillers are designed to facilitate cleaning between product changeovers. Some models may have integrated Clean-in-Place systems to streamline the cleaning process. Versatility: Product Range: Mag Flow Rotary Fillers are versatile and can handle a wide range of liquid products, including carbonated and non-carbonated beverages, juices, water, and more. These fillers are a popular choice in industries where precise and high-speed filling is required, and the use of magnetic flow meter technology enhances their accuracy and reliability in achieving consistent fill volumes.
