FAQ

1.What Are the Different Types and Their Uses?

Current Design : semi-auto filling machines work well for filling. Manually operated by placing the bottle or pouch on the plate beneath the filler and then moving the bottle or pouch away once it has been filled. A tuning fork sensor or a photoelectric sensor can be used as the sensor. You can have a smaller auger filler, standard models, and high-level models of auger filler for powder. 

High-end Design and Big Bag Type : This semi-auto filling machine is suitable for pouch filling. The pouch clamp will hold the bag automatically after stamping the pedal plate. It will lose the bag automatically after filling. The TP-PF-B12 has a plate to raise and fall bags during filling to reduce dust and weight error because it is the big model. When powder dispenses from the end of the filler to the bottom of the bag, the gravity will lead to error because the load cell detects real-time weight. The plate raises the bag so that the filling tube will stick into the bag. And the plate falls slowly during filling.

2.What is the Use and Where to be Used For?

The  semi-auto filling machine is used for filling and dosing. Each type has a unique design that is appropriate for materials such as coffee powder, wheat flour, condiments, solid drinks, veterinary medications, dextrose, powder additives, talcum powder, pesticides, dyestuff, and more. Industries like pharmaceuticals, agriculture, Chemical, food, construction and more can use powder weighing and filling machines.

3. What are the Main Differences Between Different Types of Filling Machine?

The main difference between different types of  semi-auto filling machines is the hopper.

There are two types for filling materials: the semi-auto type filling machine and auto-type filling machine. 

-Semi-automatic types are operated manually by placing the bottle or pouch on the plate beneath the filler and then moving the bottle or pouch away after filling.

-Automatic type performs well for dosing and filling. The bottle stopper holds back bottles so that the bottle holder can lift the bottle under the filler, and the conveyor moves the bottle in automatically. After the bottles have been filled, the conveyor moves them forward automatically.

4. What Is the Application?

Filling and dosing are done with a semi-auto filling machine. Coffee powder, wheat flour, condiments, solid drinks, veterinary medications, dextrose, powder additives, talcum powder, insecticides, dyestuff, and other materials are suitable for each type of powder weighing and filling machine. The semi-auto filling machines are used in a variety of industries, including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, chemical, food, and construction.

5.What Materials is the Machine Made Of?

 The machine is made of stainless steel 304. All parts of the hopper are fully welded and polished. The hopper can be easily removed and cleaned without the use of any tools.

6.Is The Machine Operated by Manual or Auto?

The semi-auto filling machine can be operated manually by placing the bottle or pouch on the plate beneath the filler and then moving the bottle or pouch away once it has been filled. 

It is also operated automatically. The bottle stopper holds back bottles so that the bottle holder can lift the bottle under the filler, and the conveyor moves the bottle in automatically. After the bottles have been filled, the conveyor moves them forward automatically.

7. How to Confirm If the Machine Material is SS304 or SS316? 

304 stainless steel is a multipurpose stainless steel that has a higher rust resistance than stainless steels in the 200 series. It is also better to have a high temperature resistance. The corrosion resistance of 304 stainless steel is outstanding, as is the resistance to intergranular corrosion. While 316 stainless steel the corrosion resistance and high temperature strength of 316 stainless steel have greatly improved. It has a high temperature resistance of 1200-1300 degrees and can be used in harsh environments.

8. How Can I Find a Third Party to Check the Machine Quality?

The recommended third party is SGS, BV ,which is a famous institution for goods quality inspection.  They have branches in most countries in the world, you can search the internet and get their contact info easily.

9.Can I Use This Machine for Home Purposes?

Yes, the  semi-auto filling machine has a desktop table type, which is the smallest model for laboratory use. It is also suitable for home purposes since it is small and manually operated.

10.What Is the Best Type for a Large Amount of Material?

The big bag type is designed to hold a large amount of material weighing more than 5 kg but less than 50 kg. This machine can perform measurements, two-filling, up-down work, and other operations. The following is based on the weight sensor’s feedback. It’s suitable for filling fine powders that require precise packing, such as additives, carbon powder, fire extinguisher dry powder, and other fine powders, just like other types of  semi-auto filling machines.

11.What Is The Maintenance Of The Machine?

-Add a little oil once every three or four months.

–  Add a little Grease on the stir motor chain once every three or four months.

–  The sealing strip on both sides of the material bin may become aging nearly one year later. Replace them if needed.

-The sealing strip on both sides of the hopper may become aging nearly one year later. Replace them if needed.

-Clean the material bin in time

-Clean hopper in time

12.What Type of Filling Machine has a High Speed?

Rotary type auger filling machine has a high-speed and is used to fill powder into bottles. Because the bottle wheel can only accommodate one diameter, this type of filling machine is best for customers who only have one or two-diameter bottles. In general, the speed and precision of the linear type are greater. 

13.Does The Machine Have an Optional Hopper?

Yes, the  semi-auto machine has an optional hopper. The half-open hopper and hanging hopper.

Half-open hopper: This level split hopper is easy to clean and open.

Hanging hopper: The lower section of the combine hopper is built for fine powder and has no gaps.
