After more than ten years of debugging packaging machines, my biggest headache is encountering "stubborn" viscous fluids such as sesame paste and tomato paste - either they are blocked in the pipeline and "strike", or they drip all over the floor during filling. It was not until our factory conquered the viscous fluid pneumatic control technology last year that these "paste thorns" were truly tamed.
Last month, when we were renovating the production line of a long-established hot sauce factory in Guangdong, their workshop director, Lao Zhou, was still in shock: "The original packaging machine was fine for filling chili oil, but it started to bleed when it was changed to sesame paste, and it could splash half a bowl every minute!" We directly replaced the newly developed air control module with the packaging machine, and the adaptive pressure compensation system immediately began to "diagnose" - if the viscosity is high, the air pressure will be automatically increased, and if the fluidity is poor, the pulse mode will be switched instantly. Now the filling error is less than the thickness of a hair. Lao Zhou stared at the production line for half an hour and said: "This machine is more stable than my wife scooping glutinous rice ball fillings!" In fact, the essence of this set of viscous fluid pneumatic control is that we have installed a "smart heart and lungs" for the packaging machine. Traditional air pumps are like hard-blowing balloons. If the air pressure is too high, the pipe will burst, and if it is too low, it will not be able to be pushed. Our adaptive pressure compensation technology can adjust the air supply rhythm in real time according to the fluid resistance. When a facial mask factory in Shandong was filling aloe vera gel, the pressure fluctuation from start to stop was no more than 5%. The customer's quality inspector said that this was the most "Buddhist" packaging machine they had ever seen.
The sealing performance must not be sloppy. We designed a food-grade sealing structure for the packaging machine, and the rubber rings in the key parts are made of the same material as baby pacifiers. Last year, when we made a plan for a wild honey company in Yunnan, their engineers deliberately tilted the machine 15 degrees for testing, and the sticky beeswax did not leak a drop. The customer joked: "If this sealing technology is used on mineral water bottles, the camel caravans will be unemployed!"
Now this set of viscous fluid pneumatic control technology has been iterated to the third generation. The latest model can even intelligently learn fluid characteristics-when encountering new materials, the packaging machine will automatically record the best pressure curve and directly call the "memory mode" for the next filling. Last month, on the assembly line of a daily chemical factory in Shanghai, the packaging machine switched from shampoo to conditioner production in 3 minutes, which was faster than workers changing molds.
Some colleagues may ask: Is it worth it to make it so complicated? Just look at the feedback from customers. After a hot pot base factory in Zhejiang used our packaging machine, it saved two large barrels of raw material loss every day; an industrial grease company in Northeast China improved its filling accuracy by two levels and directly won a military order. What's even more amazing is that the boss of the sugar art workshop in Liaoning was able to live-stream the sugar painting while filling maltose with our equipment!
From sauces to colloids, from food to chemicals, our factory's packaging machines are rewriting industry rules with viscous fluid pneumatic control technology. Next time you encounter the problem of "temperament" of paste, you might as well come to the workshop to sit down - we are not playing tricks, open a can of peanut butter on the spot and let the equipment perform a "precision filling dance", which is guaranteed to be more exciting than watching magic!
