Choosing An Inline Filling System
What is an Inline filling system inline filling systems is take multiple pieces of bottling equipment and combine them on a single frame or chassis. This allows the system to take up less space than a long, complex traditional conveyor. They are often used to bottle liquid products, but can also be used for other types of container packaging such as pouches or tubes.
The type of bottles you’ll be using is one of the most important factors when choosing an inline filler. Different bottles have their own specific requirements, such as whether they’re round or square, tall or short, and whether the openings are large or small. This information can influence your machine choice and help you determine what liquid filling machine is best for your specific application.
There are many liquid filling machines available for use in a variety of different bottle types, from small glass bottles to large buckets. Accutek offers a full range of these machines, including high-speed positive displacement pump inline filling systems, Net Weight bottle fillers and multi-station volumetric pump inline fillers. Accutek also offers a line of piston inline fillers that excel in thick dense products such as greases, lotions and heavy food sauces.
Once the product is filled, it’s time to cap and seal. We offer a selection of capping machines to accommodate a range of needs, including chuck, snap and spindle cappers, as well as automatic labelers for both front and back labels, wrap and multi-sided labels. We also have a number of capping elevators, cap sorters and pluggers that make it easy to choose the right cap for your product.
You can find additional packaging equipment in our online store, including automatic labelers, shrink and stretch bands, turntables and more. Our labelers are available as stand-alone units or can be combined with our inline capping systems to provide a fully functional production line.
Beyond these essential pieces of machinery, you’ll need the appropriate bottle cleaners to remove any dust or debris from your containers and bottles before they enter the production process. You’ll also want to select the right conveyors to transport your containers through each phase of your inline bottle filling system. We have conveyors available in a wide variety of construction types, including those that are constructed for hazardous locations or heat and chemical resistance. We also offer tabletop chain conveyors, flex chains and sanitary conveyor models.
Once the product has been packaged, you’ll need to label it so that customers can identify and purchase the correct items. Our labelers can be configured for front, back and wrap labels on a variety of sizes and shapes of bottles, and you can even choose to include a UPC code labeler. You can find more of our labeling equipment on the TORQ page of our website.
