TR-CL In-line Flowmeter Filling Machine
TR-CL fully automatic In-line Flow Meter is one of the intelligent filling production line series independently developed and manufactured by TRPACK. This machine adopts a servo motor-driven piston cylinder filling method, resulting in stable filling speed, low air consumption, and greater intelligence and user-friendliness. The entire machine is manufactured using SUS304 stainless steel, while parts in contact with materials are made of SUS316L stainless steel. It is suitable for automatic quantitative filling of various bottled pastes and liquids, and is applicable to the daily chemical industry or users with frequent material changes and cleaning requirements.

Application:
The linear gravity-fed filling machine is suitable for filling various liquid products and is widely used in industries such as cosmetics and personal care, household cleaning and disinfection, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and pesticides. It handles materials including aqueous solutions, emulsions, oils, and other substances with good flowability that do not produce foam.

Features:
The conveying direction of the packaging material for the TRPACK CL-8 series online flowmeter filling machine is 'right-in, left-out'.
This filling equipment features a stainless steel frame with a natural finish, while the conveyor chain plates and liner plates are finished in a shade of white.

Function:
1. Each filling head is equipped with a mass flow meter to ensure high precision in filling measurements. KROHNE's OPTIBATCH 4011 mass flowmeter is suitable for use with rotary or linear filling machines. Designed to complement the OPTIMASS range of mass flowmeters, the OPTIBATCH is a specialised instrument for batch processing and filling machinery. As a Coriolis mass flowmeter, the OPTIBATCH has long offered excellent long-term stability and reliability in mass flow measurement.
(1)Bottle insertion count (automatic detection of the number of empty bottles inserted)
(2)The bottle stopper is extended (the extension of the stopper positions the packaging material)
(3)The bottle insertion barrier blade extends outwards (the blade extends outwards, hindering the insertion of the next bottle)
(4)Blockage (The bottle is blocked when the cap pops off and gets stuck at the neck part.)
(5)Submersion filling. (Option to turn on/off the servo motor for submersion. The filling head submerges to the bottom of the bottle for filling or fills at the bottle opening)
(6) Fill up and rise. (The filling head rises along with the liquid level until the filling is complete.)
(7) Return to the starting point (The filling process is completed and the filling head has been reset to the original position)
(8) The bottle stopper is retracted. (The bottle stopper is retracted, and the finished product is transported to the next workstation)
(9) The bottle stopper retracts. (The bottle stopper retracts, and the empty packaging material enters the filling station)
(10)Such a repetitive cycle of filling operations.
2. The servo motor is adopted to control the submersible filling of the filling head (this function can be selected to be turned on/ off): The filling head automatically submerges into the bottle for filling, and rises synchronously with the liquid level, which can ensure that high-foaming materials do not overflow and fill the bottle mouth of flat bottles and packing materials.
3. The filling valves on the equipment are custom-made food-grade valves (this valve has patented technology). The valve structure is simple, making disassembly very convenient and ensuring no blind spots for cleaning. All pipelines use hygienic quick-connect pipes and quick-connect joints, fully meeting GMP standards. The disassembly, assembly and cleaning of all valves and pipelines are very convenient. The filling nozzle adopts an external sealing design to prevent dripping and leakage. Each filling head is equipped with a bottle mouth positioning function to prevent the filling head from colliding with the bottle mouth.
(1) Precise control of the stroke of the discharge nozzle by a two-stage cylinder.
(2) Blade feeding suction device: Designed for CIP cleaning circuit.
(3)
a. Customised triangular-shaped guide sleeve made of PEEK (polyether ether ketone) material. PEEK (polyether ether ketone) is a high-performance engineering plastic featuring excellent heat and chemical corrosion resistance, as well as mechanical properties.
b. High temperature resistance: PEEK material can be used long-term in environments with temperatures above 250°C, and its melting point is as high as 343°C.
c. Chemical resistance: PEEK exhibits extremely strong resistance to most chemical reagents, including acids, bases and organic solvents.
d. Mechanical properties: Its tensile strength usually ranges from 90 to 100 MPa, enabling it to withstand significant mechanical stress and maintain stability under high load conditions.
(4) External plugging is used: the plug and the feed nozzle are in surface-to-surface contact to ensure no material leakage.
4. The filling head adjusts the spacing by using snap-in components according to the size of the bottle, which is convenient and fast. (The inner wall is made of PTFE material).
5. Conveying Component: This component serves as the channel for feeding the bottles in. The stopper mechanism effectively holds the bottles in place for filling.
6. It adopts a clean arc-shaped sealed material box design(with a capacity of about 300L), which enables online CIP cleaning.
