The household detergents filling line is a technological automatic system developed for metered filling, capping and labeling of liquid and viscous products in containers (PET bottle, canister) in various branches of the chemical industry (household care detergents, auto chemicals, agrochemistry).

The composition of the filling line of household detergents includes:

• filling unit with belt conveyor for moving bottles during filling;
• capping with different degrees of automation and types of cap screwing;
• labeling machine for self-adhesive labels;
• in feeding and accumulative tables for containers.

The household chemicals filler is a unique industrial equipment constructed of stainless steel materials that can fill a large range of bottles (of various shapes and volumes) in a wide range of volume change from 0.1...20 liters.

This line has several functions & adjustment that make it effective and safe in order to suit to working with foaming and aggressive products.

After filling the bottle, the cap is installed and screwed; the label is applied, and if necessary, marking (applying the date, batch number and other required information).


Category of applications

We design this filling line for liquids that need to be stored in an airtight bottle, such as:

• soft soap;
• shampoo;
• dishwashing detergent;
• car washing products;
• floor cleaning products;
• washing gel;
• window cleaning detergent;
• toilet cleaning products
• personal care products

To fill with fluid, there are many ways that can increase efficiency. One option that is becoming increasingly popular for companies that fill household detergents is a filling machine with an automatic pressure maintenance system in the product supply pipeline. We design this type for quick and convenient filling of bottles with various fluids.

Important: We don’t use gravity filler because it severely limits productivity. Also, we do not have solutions for bottling wine.


Types of dosing units

Different dosing units are used for filling:

• volumetric piston;
• using flow meters;
• by level;
• volumetric discrete;
• weight;
• by time.

A volumetric piston dosing unit is a classic design of pump that has long gained popularity in the chemical industry. The volumetric piston dosing unit is like a standard pump, but it uses pistons to dispense fluid. This type of pump is often popular for dosing household chemicals.

A Coriolis flow meter is a type of flowmeter that is used to measure the velocity of a liquid or gas in a pipe. The Coriolis flow meter comprises two main parts: the transmitter and receiver. The transmitter measures the velocity of the fluid as it moves from one point to another, and the receiver measures how much time has passed since the last movement of the liquid. Computer systems then used this information to calculate the amount of fluid moved and control the equipment. This system perfectly allows you to gauge the dosage, which is important for consumer goods. The dosing unit can dispense various liquids, including household detergents, agrochemicals, auto chemicals, veterinary medicine, industrial oils and construction mixes.

Dosing of liquid into bottles by level — this method is the least accurate, since the actual volume and weight of the product is affected by the imperfection of the shape of the bottle. Most often, this method is used for bottling in transparent bottles, because the visual difference in the liquid level in the container reduces the confidence of buyers in the manufacturer.

Volumetric liquid dosing units of discrete action are one of the recent developments in the industry. They are designed based on impeller pumps or other volumetric pumps (gear, cam) and allow you to gauge the required amount of liquid without messing with piston dispensers. Such dosing units have a wide range of dosing and they are easily integrated into automated filling systems for consumer containers.

A liquid weighing dosing unit is a filling machine based on a weighing platform that helps to measure the mass of a filled container. We use it for liquids with a non-uniform consistency, prone to sediments, as well as where it is necessary to control the weight of the product in the container.

Time dosing is mainly used for particularly aggressive liquids (acids and alkalis), which cannot be dosed in other ways.
Thanks to the individual selection of the dosing method, considering the wishes of the customer, the specifics of the technology, the properties of the liquid and the form factor of the container, a dose change range from 0.05 to 20 liters is achieved with an accuracy of 0.5...1.5% and a capacity of up to 4000 doses/hour. On demand, the dosing range can be increased.


Stages of automation

There are three types of filling machines:

• manual;
• semi - automatic;
• automatic.

A manual device requires full human participation in operation; a semi-automatic one has a microcomputer or a pneumatic-electric control system and requires operator participation to start; and an automatic one has sensors that detect when bottles have been filled and capped, and also automatically moves containers between filling equipment units.

A suite of manual fillers is a great option for those who want to bottle household chemicals themselves. This type of device does not require electricity and compressed air — in fact, it is a tap that opens and closes manually. This means that it is ideal for home amateurs who want to bottle their own products without hiring professional staff and without spending money on equipment.

One of the major advantages of using a manual filler is that it is very easy to operate. All you have to do is open the tap and pour the required amount of product into the bottle.

Another advantage of using a manual filler is that it is very affordable.

Important: we do not manufacture manual filling machines.

Semi–automatic filling line of household detergents is a simple and effective method of dosing. The line comprises several units that automatically or semi-automatically fill and cap bottles. Bottles are moved between units manually. Semi-automatic fillers are also much more mobile than traditional filling lines, which means you can move the filling equipment as you need.
Most often, a semi-automatic filling line is used for small-scale production.

Automatic filling line for household detergents — the entire process of filling and capping bottles undergoes automatically under the supervision of a qualified operator-adjuster. If you are looking for a way to speed up the filling process and improve the quality of the product series, then an automatic filling machine may be a suitable option.

One reason why automatic and semi-automatic equipment is becoming increasingly popular among companies that pour household cleaning products is that they can help speed up filling bottles with a product. In addition, it can also help ensure that the bottles are filled with the right amount of fluid, which can help improve economic performance.


Capping of containers

Closure on the filling line is an important part of the packaging process. It ensures proper sealing of the bottles so that the contents do not leak out.

The choice of the type of closing actuator depends on the type of caps. There are options with automatic and manual putting on caps.


Labeling equipment

A full range of automatic labeling machines is available to meet the needs of your business operations. You can choose an autonomous or integrated labeling system, depending on your production requirements. Labeling machines quickly and easily stick self-adhesive labels, increasing the efficiency and productivity of filling lines.

For product labeling, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, different devices can be used for different types of labeling. Our labeling equipment works with a self-adhesive label.

It is important to choose the right size and that the surface of the bottle for sticking the label is of the correct shape. If the shape of the bottle has an uneven surface and a non-standard shape, this leads to poor adhesion and displacement of the label by more than ±1 mm, which visually gives the feeling of low-quality goods.


Features

It is important to operate the filling line of household cleanining products in compliance with safety regulations. Make sure the doors are locked before starting work. Blocking the opening of doors prevents someone from opening the door and being injured. To do this, the corresponding protection algorithms are built into the control panel. In addition, do not allow unqualified personnel to use moving mechanisms and electrical circuits. Follow all safety instructions to ensure the safe operation of the enterprise.

For operating in an industrial environment, there are a few key points to keep in mind. First, you need to make sure that the bottles are clean and do not contain any contamination. Second, you need to make sure that the bottles are of the same shape to prevent accidents and proper filling level. And third, you need to make sure that the surface for sticking the label has the correct shape to avoid wrinkling and displacement of the label.
