Cartridge filling machines
At Lumis Automation, we specialize in providing comprehensive machine design, electrical controls design, and software development services for automation solutions. One of our standout designs is our Cartridge Filling Machine, which offers an efficient, automated solution for filling and capping cartridges in various industries. Whether you’re looking for fully automated, semi-automated, or manual solutions, we can design a system that fits your production needs.
Key Features of the Cartridge Filling Machine
Our Cartridge Filling Machine is engineered for high efficiency, precision, and ease of use. The design includes the following key components:
Dual Vibratory Feeders:
- One feeder is dedicated to loading the caps, while the other ensures the cartridges are supplied at a steady pace.
Rotary Table with Six Stations:
- The cartridges and caps are fed into their respective stations and positioned on the rotary table. With six stations in total, the machine operates in a continuous loop, enhancing production speed and consistency.
Filling Station:
- Once the cartridges are loaded, the rotary table moves them to the fill station, where the precise amount of material is dispensed into each cartridge.
Cap Seating Station:
- After filling, the cartridges are rotated to the cap feed station, where the caps are carefully seated onto the cartridges.
Press Station:
- To ensure the caps are securely in place, the cartridges then proceed to a pressing station, where the cap is tightly pressed onto the cartridge.
Pump Heating System:
- The machine is equipped with a pump heating system that uses both conduction and convection to maintain uniform heating throughout the pump. All oils are pumped at 120°F to ensure consistent material flow, with the heating system adapted to different viscosities.
High Throughput Rate:
- The machine operates at an impressive rate of 800 to 1,200 cartridges per hour, depending on the viscosity of the oil being used. The optimized heating and filling process allows for smooth handling of a range of oil viscosities.
Rejection System:
- The machine is designed with quality control in mind. Any improperly sealed cartridges are rejected at the final station and directed onto a ramp for easy removal and inspection.
Automation Options
At Lumis Automation, we offer a variety of machine options to match your specific production requirements:
Fully Automated Machines: These systems handle the entire process, from loading to capping and rejection, with minimal human intervention, maximizing efficiency and throughput.
Semi-Automated Machines: For businesses requiring flexibility, our semi-automated machines allow human operators to load cartridges and caps, while the rest of the process is automated, ensuring a balance between automation and manual control.
Manual Filling Machines: If your needs are small-scale or highly specialized, our manual filling machines provide a cost-effective solution with precise manual controls for filling and capping.
Designed for Efficiency and Quality Control
This automated solution reduces manual intervention, ensuring faster production rates with minimal errors. By incorporating advanced software and control systems, we can fine-tune the machine to meet the specific requirements of your production line, whether it’s adjusting filling volumes, cap pressure, pump temperature control, or rejection criteria.
