After more than ten years of equipment research and development, I have figured it out - customer needs are like blind boxes, and you can never guess how "outrageous" the next one will be. But no matter how difficult the order is, as long as our factory's automatic bottle filling machine is used, there is no mountain that cannot be taken! Today, I will pick a few typical cases to talk about, and I guarantee you will exclaim, "This can also be filled?!"
Case 1: "Explosion Crisis" of Jam Factory
Last summer, the owner of a jam factory came to the door in a hurry: "Can your automatic filling bottle machine fill jam with fruit particles? We have changed three equipments, and either the pipes are blocked or the fruit particles are broken!"
When we went to the workshop, we saw something! Strawberry fruit particles are as big as soybeans, and the viscosity is comparable to asphalt. Without saying a word, we pulled the automatic filling bottle machine for testing:
- Replace the wide-caliber fan-shaped filling valve, and the fruit particles pass smoothly without jamming
- Turn on the "pulse mode", and the filling head is intermittently lifted to avoid fruit particle squeezing
- Install a low-temperature circulation system to keep the jam filling at 15¡æ throughout the process
Three days later, the customer came to the workshop to stare at it. The 200g glass bottle filling line ran for a whole morning, and the fruit particle integrity exceeded 95%. The boss made the decision on the spot: "This is it! Your automatic bottle filling machine fills jam more smoothly than my daughter drinks milk tea with a straw!"
Case 2: "Bottle type guerrilla warfare" in a daily chemical factory
The one who has the most trouble with the equipment is a shampoo customer. Their bottles - round bottles, square bottles, gourd bottles, and even "massage bottles" with concave and convex patterns - can change eight types of packaging in a month. The original equipment took a long time to adjust the bottle shape, and the workers were so angry that they cursed.
We have three tricks for the automatic bottle filling machine:
- Visual positioning system: No matter what kind of weird bottle shape you have, the camera can lock the filling port with a single scan
- Universal gripper set: Silicone, magnetic, and pneumatic three types of grippers can be switched at any time
- Memory database: Filling parameters are automatically archived and can be directly called the next time the line is changed
The most amazing thing is that urgent order, the customer temporarily changed to special-shaped bottle filling at 4 pm. Our engineers remotely guided the customer to call up historical data, and the production line was running again at 8 pm. Later I heard that the batch of goods caught up with the e-commerce promotion, and the sales volume doubled directly.
Case 3: "Virgo demand" of essential oil customers
Have you ever seen 10ml essential oil filled? The bottle mouth is only as thick as a straw, and it must be filled without spilling a drop. The requirements raised by a high-end essential oil brand can make the old masters cry:
- Filling accuracy ±0.1ml
- No fingerprints on the bottle body
- Filling speed is not less than 200 bottles/hour
We directly disassembled and reorganized the automatic filling bottle machine:
.Micro peristaltic pump: Precisely control the flow of essential oils like dripping
.Contactless filling: Use negative pressure adsorption to replace the traditional filling head, zero pollution at the bottle mouth
.Transparent dustproof cabin: The operator can monitor through the glass window
On the day of acceptance, the customer checked 50 bottles with a magnifying glass and couldn't find any problems. What's even more amazing is that we secretly put an aromatherapy module in the machine - the filling workshop is filled with a faint lavender scent, which moved these "detail control" people so much that they had to treat our team to Michelin.
Case 4: The "sterile life and death line" of pharmaceutical factories
The requirements of the pharmaceutical industry for filling are really "breathing heavily is considered a violation". The new workshop of an oral liquid factory is about to be accepted, and the original equipment always stumbles in the microbial detection link.
We have carried out an "aseptic transformation" on the automatic filling bottle machine:
- The air cleanliness of the filling area is directly up to the Class 100 standard
- All pipelines are replaced with quick-release sterilization joints
- Add a dry heat sterilization procedure, and go through it at a high temperature of 280¡æ, even the spores are killed
What impressed customers the most was the "reverse verification" - we took the initiative to send the empty bottles after filling to a third party for testing. On the day the report came out, the voice of the quality director of the pharmaceutical factory was shaking on the phone: "Your automatic bottle filling machine is cleaner than our sterile laboratory!"
Behind the case: Being serious is our greatest sincerity
These cases sound like stories, but they are actually the daily routine of our factory's technical team. Every time they encounter a problem, the engineers' eyes light up: "This is interesting! If it is done, it can unlock new skills for the automatic bottle filling machine!"
I remember that in order to test the limit of filling special-shaped bottles, we bought hundreds of strange bottles: with handles, spiral patterns, and even antique-like ceramic bottles. Even the cafeteria auntie couldn't help but complain: "Your workshop is about to become a bottle museum!"
Written at the end:
Equipment is dead, people are alive. The reason why our factory's automatic bottle filling machine can handle so many "weird" cases is that it regards customer needs as fuel for technology upgrades. Next time you encounter a filling problem, don't hesitate! Just throw your needs at us - we are responsible for the baldness, and you just count the money!
