Old customer Mr. Zhang came from Zhejiang and stared at the production line for a whole morning. He pointed to the equipment that was filling shower gel and gave a thumbs up: "This accuracy can even control the residual liquid hanging on the wall of the bottle mouth. No wonder you dare to say 'no leakage'!"
As a technical team that has been focusing on the research and development of liquid packaging machines for fifteen years, we know the pain points of the industry better than anyone else. When I visited a dairy company in Northwest China last year, I saw with my own eyes that when traditional equipment was filling yogurt, 3%-5% of each batch of products were always returned due to measurement deviation. This incident made the engineers hold back their energy. After eight months of research, they finally integrated the dynamic weighing module and visual positioning system into the new model.
Now this equipment is much smarter! When the operator Xiao Liu demonstrated, he input the parameter "500ml" into the touch screen, and the robotic arm automatically adjusted to millimeter-level positioning. The most surprising thing is the self-cleaning function - it used to take two or three masters half a day to clean a machine, but now the equipment can automatically identify residual liquid and complete the cleaning with a closed-loop pipeline. After the trial, the soy sauce factory next door reported that the packaging efficiency was directly increased by 30%. Of course, intelligent upgrading does not mean ignoring basic skills. Our mechanical engineer Master Wang insisted on retaining the manual debugging port: "Just like the best automatic driving must retain the steering wheel, the master's touch can save the day at a critical moment." This "human-machine collaboration" concept allows the new product to meet the technological needs of post-90s operators and make it easy for the masters who have been in the industry for 20 years to use. The after-sales service department has also been busy recently. In response to the common pipeline blockage problem of liquid packaging machines, we have distributed special detectors to service stations across the country. Last week, a dairy company in Inner Mongolia reported a repair in the early morning. The maintenance team used a thermal imager to lock the fault point in two hours, which was more than twice as fast as the traditional troubleshooting method. In the words of our client, Manager Li: "Buying equipment is buying protection. Your set of 'preventive maintenance' is really reassuring."
Walking in the workshop, watching the newly-offline equipment undergoing the final vibration test, I suddenly remembered the question that customers often ask: "How do you ensure that the equipment will still keep up with the times ten years later?" The answer is actually in the expansion interface of the control panel - we have reserved a 5G module slot for each liquid packaging machine. When the industrial Internet of Things is fully rolled out, these devices can be transformed into the "neurons" of the smart factory at any time.
From solving the dripping problem to laying out the future factory, we always believe that a good liquid packaging machine should not be a cold iron box, but a partner who can understand the heartbeat of the industry. Next time you come to visit the factory, don't forget to visit Workshop No. 3. The 20 new equipment that will be shipped to Southeast Asia are silently telling the new story of China's smart manufacturing.
