Semi-Auto Pail Filling Machine for Lactic Acid (Customizable Filling Head)

Overview:

The Semi-Auto Pail Filling Machine is designed for precise, efficient filling of lactic acid into pails (e.g., 5L, 20L, or custom sizes) with a customizable filling head to handle its corrosive and viscous properties. This machine combines weight-based accuracy, corrosion-resistant materials, and user-friendly operation to ensure safe, consistent, and reliable filling.

Key Features:

1. Customizable Filling Head:

• Material Compatibility: Stainless steel (316L) or PTFE-lined nozzles to resist lactic acid corrosion.

• Nozzle Options: Drift-free, anti-splash, or vacuum filling heads to minimize foaming and spillage.

• Heated Nozzles (Optional): Prevent crystallization in cold environments or with high-purity lactic acid.

2. Precision Weight-Based Filling:

• Accuracy: ±0.1% of target weight using load cells and real-time weight monitoring.

• Adjustable Parameters: Save recipes for different pail sizes and fill weights via the HMI touchscreen.

• Overfill Protection: Automatically stops filling if preset weight is exceeded.

3. Semi-Auto Operation:

• Manual Pait Loading: Place the pail under the filling head manually (ideal for smaller batches).

• Automated Filling & Capping: Start the cycle with a foot pedal or button; optional integrated capping system seals pails with crown lids or screw caps.

4. Corrosion Resistance:

• Stainless Steel Construction: 316L stainless steel frame and contact parts for durability.

• FKM Seals & Gaskets: Chemical-resistant seals to prevent leaks and contamination.

• CIP Cleaning (Optional): Integrated clean-in-place system for easy maintenance.

5. Safety & Compliance:

• ATEX/IECEx Options: Explosion-proof models for flammable environments (if required).

• Spill Containment: Drip trays and nozzle purging systems to catch accidental spills.

• CE Certified: Complies with international safety standards.

6. Viscosity Handling:

• Pneumatic or Peristaltic Pumps: Gentle handling for lactic acid viscosities up to 1,500 cP (higher with optional gear pumps).

• Heated Hoses (Optional): Maintain temperature to prevent thickening or crystallization.

7. User-Friendly Design:

• Touchscreen HMI: Intuitive interface for recipe management, diagnostics, and training.

• Quick-Change Nozzles: Tool-free swapping for different pail sizes or cleaning.

• Compact Footprint: Space-efficient design for small or large production facilities.

Technical Specifications:

• Filling Range: 1–20 liters (customizable for larger volumes).

• Accuracy: ±0.1% of target weight.

• Materials: 316L stainless steel, PTFE, FKM, and chemical-resistant plastics.

• Viscosity Handling: Up to 1,500 cP (higher with optional gear pumps).

• Environment Rating: IP65 (dust and water resistant).

• Compliance: CE certified; ATEX/IECEx options available for hazardous areas.

Applications:

• Lactic Acid: For pharmaceuticals, food additives, bioplastics, and industrial chemicals.

• Other Corrosive Fluids: Acetic acid, citric acid, and other high-acidity liquids.

Operation Steps:

1. Container Placement: Manually place the pail under the filling head.

2. Start Filling: Initiate the cycle via foot pedal, button, or HMI touchscreen.

3. Weight-Based Filling: The machine fills the pail to the preset weight, stopping automatically.

4. Capping (Optional): Automated capper applies and tightens the lid (if integrated).

5. Container Removal: Remove the filled pail manually or via conveyor (optional).

6. Cleanup: Nozzle self-purges or undergoes manual cleaning to prevent cross-contamination.

Benefits:

1. Corrosion Resistance: Materials and seals designed to withstand lactic acid’s corrosive properties.

2. Precision: High-accuracy filling minimizes waste and ensures consistent batch quality.

3. Flexibility: Customizable filling head and nozzles for different viscosities and container sizes.

4. Ease of Use: Semi-auto operation reduces labor costs while maintaining control.

5. Safety: Overfill protection, spill containment, and compliance certifications ensure operator safety.

6. Low Maintenance: Robust construction and quick-clean design minimize downtime.
