Liquid filling for formulated products in the chemical industry requires specialized solutions. Some liquids are foamy, highly viscous, or dyed, posing contamination risks. Standard filling machines often struggle with these challenges, leading to inefficiencies and safety concerns.
At D&R Packaging, we offer advanced liquid filling solutions tailored to these unique characteristics. Our net-weight fillers ensure precision, efficiency, and contamination-free filling for even the most demanding products.
Common Challenges in Liquid Filling
When dealing with formulated liquid products, several factors can make the filling process more complex:
- Foam Generation: Some liquids create excessive foam, leading to inaccurate fill levels and potential spillage.
- Low Flash Points: Highly volatile liquids pose safety hazards and require explosion-proof machinery.
- High Viscosity: Thick liquids are harder to pump and need specialized filling equipment.
- Cross-Contamination Risks: Certain dyes or additives can cause contamination issues, making quick and easy cleaning a necessity.
- Shear Sensitivity: Some products can be damaged by excessive pumping or valving, requiring gentle handling during the filling process.
To tackle these challenges, D&R Packaging’s net-weight fillers offer advanced features that make filling even the most complex liquids easy and efficient.
Why Net-Weight Fillers are the Best Solution
Unlike time-based or volumetric piston fillers, which require frequent adjustments and clean-in-place (CIP) cycles, net-weight fillers provide precise and flexible filling. These systems work exceptionally well for difficult-to-handle liquids by measuring product weight directly, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
Key Benefits of Net-Weight Fillers
- Pre-Programmed Recipe-Based Setup: Our fillers come with pre-configured filling methods that can be adjusted for various liquid characteristics.
- Bottom-Up Filling for Foamy Liquids: The nozzle remains submerged to minimize foam generation, ensuring accurate fills.
- Explosion-Proof Design for Hazardous Products: Our machines can be customized for hazardous-duty operations, ensuring safety when working with volatile liquids.
- Isolated Wetted Parts for Easy Cleaning: All wetted parts are separate from the scale and conveyance system, making them quick to change and reducing downtime.
- Pressurized Line Feeding for Shear-Sensitive Products: For products that cannot be pumped or jostled, our systems can feed fillers via pressurized lines without affecting fill accuracy or product integrity.
These features make net-weight fillers the most versatile option for complex liquid formulations, reducing waste and improving efficiency.
