CGF24-24-8 10000 BPH Rotary Water Filling Machine for 400ml to 2L Bottles
The CGF24-24-8 Rotary Water Filling Machine is a highly efficient and versatile system designed for bottling water into containers ranging from 400ml to 2L. It stands out for its high throughput, capable of filling up to 10,000 bottles per hour (BPH). The machine's rotary structure allows for seamless integration of washing, filling, and capping into a single compact system, optimizing space and reducing production time.
Rotary Filling Technology
At the heart of the CGF24-24-8 is its rotary filling mechanism. This technology involves the continuous movement of bottles around a circular conveyor system, allowing multiple stations to perform tasks in parallel, thus improving overall efficiency. The design is ideal for high-speed production lines, where precision and speed are paramount. The rotary system ensures that the bottles are filled with the correct amount of water while minimizing spillage and ensuring a consistent fill level, regardless of bottle size.
This configuration also minimizes the risk of contamination. With dedicated stations for each stage of the process—washing, filling, and capping—the likelihood of cross-contamination is greatly reduced. Moreover, the use of automated sensors ensures that the right amount of liquid is dispensed into each bottle, thus maintaining product quality and meeting industry standards.
Washing Stage for Hygiene Control
The washing section of the CGF24-24-8 is a critical component, especially for ensuring the hygiene of bottles before filling. Bottles, particularly in the 400ml to 2L range, often undergo several stages of handling, and effective cleaning is crucial to avoid contamination. The machine employs a multi-step washing process, where bottles are first rinsed to remove any loose particles or dust. Following this, a high-pressure spraying system is used to clean the interior thoroughly, ensuring that all surfaces of the bottle are free of contaminants.
In addition to the high-pressure spray, chemical sanitization is performed, typically with food-grade disinfectants, to kill any microbial organisms that may be present. This step is essential for ensuring that the water remains uncontaminated, maintaining both safety and product quality. The entire washing cycle is integrated into the machine’s rotary design, allowing for continuous operation without delays between stages.
Filling Accuracy and Consistency
The filling process of the CGF24-24-8 is based on advanced volumetric filling technology, which guarantees precise measurement of water dispensed into each bottle. The volumetric system uses sensors to determine the exact volume of liquid required for each bottle, ensuring that no bottle is overfilled or underfilled. This accuracy is especially important when dealing with various bottle sizes, as the system can adjust the flow rate to accommodate both small (400ml) and larger (2L) containers.
The filling machine uses electronically controlled valves and pumps that respond dynamically to real-time feedback from the sensors, making the entire filling process highly accurate. Even slight variations in water density or bottle shape do not affect the overall precision, as the system compensates for these variables automatically. For water bottling operations with high throughput, this ensures that the product is consistently filled, reducing waste and improving efficiency.
Capping System: Ensuring Tight Seals
Capping, another critical part of the bottling process, is handled efficiently by the CGF24-24-8's capping system. The capping station uses torque-controlled capping heads that ensure the bottles are sealed securely, without over-tightening, which could damage the bottle or cause difficulty for consumers to open the container. These torque-controlled systems also prevent under-tightening, which could lead to leakage during transportation or storage.
The machine is designed to handle various cap types, including screw-on caps and snap-on caps, which are commonly used in the water bottling industry. The capping process is fully automated, with the system adjusting the cap alignment and application pressure to suit different bottle designs. This ensures that each bottle is sealed tightly and securely, maintaining the quality of the water and preventing external contaminants from entering the container.
High-Speed Operation and Efficiency
The CGF24-24-8’s 10,000 BPH capacity makes it ideal for high-volume production environments. Its rotary system enables each stage—washing, filling, and capping—to occur simultaneously on separate bottle stations, which significantly boosts production speed. The machine’s capacity to handle 10,000 bottles per hour without compromising accuracy or quality makes it a preferred choice for medium to large-scale bottling plants.
The machine’s design minimizes downtime, with quick changeovers for different bottle sizes or cap types. This flexibility is essential for plants that produce a variety of bottle formats or frequently switch between different products. In addition, the integration of automated monitoring and control systems ensures that the production line runs smoothly, with minimal manual intervention, further reducing the potential for operational delays.
Automation and Smart Features
Automation plays a pivotal role in improving the overall efficiency of the CGF24-24-8. The machine comes equipped with advanced PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) systems that control and monitor every aspect of the production process. These controllers allow operators to adjust settings remotely, manage production speeds, and receive alerts in the event of malfunctions or maintenance needs.
Real-time data analytics are integrated into the system, offering detailed insights into performance metrics such as fill levels, speed, and downtime. This data-driven approach helps operators make informed decisions and preemptively address any issues before they impact production. Smart features such as automatic cap feeders, reject systems for defective bottles, and automated adjustments further enhance the overall efficiency and quality of the bottling process.
Maintenance and Durability
With its high-speed operation and continuous use, the CGF24-24-8 is designed with durability and ease of maintenance in mind. The machine is made from high-quality stainless steel, which not only resists corrosion but also extends the equipment's lifespan. Regular maintenance is simplified by the machine’s design, which allows for easy access to key components for cleaning, lubrication, and inspection.
Routine maintenance tasks, such as valve calibration, sensor cleaning, and pump lubrication, are essential to ensure the machine operates efficiently. Predictive maintenance systems are often integrated into modern machines like the CGF24-24-8, alerting operators when parts are likely to fail or require attention, reducing unplanned downtime and extending the operational life of the equipment.
Flexibility for Different Bottle Sizes
One of the key advantages of the CGF24-24-8 is its ability to handle a wide range of bottle sizes, from 400ml to 2L. The machine’s modular design and quick-change parts allow for swift adjustments between different bottle formats, reducing downtime during changeovers. Whether the production line is focused on smaller consumer bottles or larger family-sized containers, this machine can seamlessly handle the transition without requiring significant manual input or downtime.
This versatility is especially useful for plants that need to adapt to varying market demands or seasonal product lines. The ability to easily switch between bottle sizes while maintaining high throughput and precision is one of the standout features of this rotary filling machine.
