Filling

The initial stage of the filling line is the transportation of the product from the storage tanks or hoppers to the filling machines. This stage is important to ensure a continuous and balanced flow of product.

Storage Tanks: Tanks where products are stored in large volumes.

Feed Pumps: Transports the product from the tanks to the filling machines. Adjusting the pump speed ensures control of the product flow.

Pipe Systems: Pipes used for the transportation of products. Cleaning and maintenance of pipes is critical for product quality.

This is the stage where the product is filled into containers in certain quantities. Precise and accurate filling prevents product loss and increases customer satisfaction.

Automatic Filling Machines: Fills the product into containers. Filling can be volumetric, weight or time controlled.

Filling Nozzles: Tips that allow the product to be filled into containers. Cleaning and maintenance of the nozzles is important.

Filling Sensors: Monitors the filling level and ensures that the filling quantity is correct.

This is the stage where the lids of the filled containers are closed. The correct sealing of the lids ensures the tightness and shelf life of the product.

Lid Sealing Machines: Attaches and tightens the lids to the containers.

Torque Control Systems: Checks that the lids are closed with the correct torque.

Cap Feeding Systems: Feeds the caps to the filling line.

This is the stage where product information, barcodes and other labels are affixed to the containers. Accurate and proper labeling accurately communicates product information to the consumer and protects the brand image.

Labeling Machines: Attaches labels to containers.

Barcode Printers: Prints product information and barcodes.

Label Sensors: Checks that labels are in the correct position.

This is the stage where filled and sealed containers undergo quality control and inspection processes. This stage ensures that the products comply with the set quality standards.

Weight Control Machines: Controls the filling quantity.

Visual Control Systems: Provides visual inspection of the products. For example, to ensure that labels are correctly placed and caps are properly closed.

Leak Testers: Tests whether the caps are leak-proof.

This is the stage where products are placed in boxes or on pallets ready for shipment. This process is necessary for the transportation and storage of the products.

Automatic Packaging Machines: Packs products into boxes.

Palletizing Robots: Places boxes on pallets.

Stretching Machines: Cover the pallets with stretch film so that the products do not fall apart during transportation

Machine Performance: Machine speed, accuracy and reliability have a major impact on production efficiency. Regular maintenance and calibration of machines is essential to ensure optimal performance. Fast detection and repair of faults minimizes production interruptions.

Automation Level: High automation reduces production downtime due to manual errors.Robotic systems and automatic control devices increase production speed and accuracy. Software updates and maintenance of automation systems should be done regularly.

Raw Material and Material Quality: The use of quality raw materials and supplies ensures that the production process runs smoothly. Strong relationships should be established with raw material suppliers and material quality control should be strictly enforced. Poor quality materials can lead to production interruptions and reduced product quality.

Employee Training and Competence: Well-trained and competent employees ensure efficient and error-free production processes. Employees should receive regular training and be updated on new technologies. Training programs should develop the ability to solve problems encountered in production processes.

Maintenance and Breakdown Management: Regular and planned maintenance programs reduce the risk of machine breakdowns and prevent production interruptions. Maintenance programs should cover all components of production equipment and include preventive maintenance strategies. Rapid response and repair procedures should be in place in case of breakdowns.

Inventory and Stock Management: Proper management of raw materials and supplies ensures the continuous operation of the production line. Stock levels must be optimized and lead times minimized. MES systems regulate material flow by monitoring inventory levels.

Production Planning and Tracking: Effective planning and real-time tracking of production processes increases the efficiency of the production line. MES systems monitor and optimize production orders, timelines and resource utilization. Production data can be monitored instantly, and disruptions in the processes can be eliminated quickly.
