Solutions:
- Inspect and replace seals and gaskets regularly.
- Tighten all connections to prevent leaks.
- Monitor and adjust system pressure to optimal levels.
3. Clogging or Blockages
Problem: Clogs can halt the filling process, leading to downtime and reduced efficiency.
Causes:
- Presence of solid particles in the product.
- High-viscosity liquids.
- Inadequate cleaning and maintenance.
Solutions:
- Implement effective filtration systems to remove solid particles.
- Adjust machine settings to accommodate high-viscosity products.
- Establish a routine cleaning schedule to prevent residue buildup.
4. Slow Production Speed
Problem: Reduced machine speed can impact overall production efficiency.
Causes:
- Worn or loose belts and chains.
- Insufficient lubrication.
- Motor issues.
Solutions:
- Regularly inspect and replace worn drive components.
- Ensure proper lubrication of moving parts.
- Monitor and maintain motor performance.
5. Dripping Nozzles
Problem: Dripping nozzles can cause product waste and contamination.
Causes:
- Worn-out nozzle seals.
- Incorrect nozzle shut-off timing.
- Residue buildup in the nozzle.
Solutions:
- Replace nozzle seals regularly.
- Adjust nozzle shut-off timing to prevent drips.
- Clean nozzles thoroughly to remove any residue.
Upgrades to Extend the Life of Existing Fillers
To enhance the longevity and efficiency of your filling machines, consider the following upgrades:
Regular Maintenance: Implement a preventive maintenance program to address issues before they lead to significant downtime.
Component Upgrades: Replace outdated or worn components with more durable materials to improve performance and extend machine life.
Automation and Monitoring: Integrate advanced monitoring systems to detect and address issues promptly, reducing the risk of prolonged downtime.
Training and Best Practices: Ensure that operators are well-trained in machine operation and maintenance to prevent user-induced errors.

Storage Tank
How do I choose the right storage tank material?
Select based on the characteristics of the storage medium. For example, 316L stainless steel is preferred for food storage, while 304 or PE can be used for general water storage.
Do special operating conditions (such as high temperature or high pressure) require special customization?
Yes. High-temperature applications require the use of heat-resistant materials and additional insulation. High-pressure applications require enhanced tank wall thickness and sealing structures. Both require individual designs according to corresponding industry standards.
Vacuum Emulsifying Machine
How does the vacuum homogenizer work?
The vacuum homogenizer's operating process revolves around four core steps: vacuum degassing, high-speed homogenization and emulsification, stirring and mixing, and temperature control. Through the coordinated operation of multiple systems, it achieves refined material processing. The following is its specific operating principle and process:
1. Pretreatment: Material feeding and vacuum environment establishment
Material preparation: First, add the basic materials, such as the oil phase (such as oils and waxes) and the aqueous phase (such as water and water-soluble ingredients), to their corresponding batching tanks or directly into the main emulsifier in sequence.
Evacuation: Activate the vacuum system (consisting of a vacuum pump, vacuum valve, etc.) to evacuate the interior of the emulsifier, creating a negative pressure environment (typically up to -0.09 MPa).
2. Core Process: Temperature Control (Heating/Cooling)
3. Core Process: Agitation and Mixing
Agitation Structure: Typically uses a "frame agitator + scraper" combination (for high-viscosity materials):
Through shearing, folding, and convection, the different materials are initially mixed and their stratification is broken down.
The PTFE scraper rotates closely against the pot wall, thoroughly scraping away any sticky material adhering to the pot wall, preventing localized overheating and residue, and ensuring zero dead zones.
4. Core Process: High-Speed Homogenization and Emulsification
Homogenizer Structure: A high-speed rotating homogenizer is installed at the bottom (or side) of the emulsifier, consisting of a rotor (with sharp teeth) and a stator (with fixed teeth). Working Principle: The rotor rotates at an extremely high speed, generating a strong centrifugal force that draws the material into the gap between the rotor and the stator. In this gap, the material is subjected to the triple effects of shear force, impact force, and turbulent force. The teeth of the rotor and stator quickly cut the material and generate high-frequency vibrations.
Can you customize the machine?
Of course, we provide customized services according to customer needs.
Sealed Homogenizing Mixing Tank
Is it possible to not have a heating function?
Of course, if your product's production process doesn't require heating and cooling functions, then you can just make it a single-layer pot.
