Semi-fluid refers to the fluid material with the viscosity range of 1000-10000mPa ·s. When filling this kind of the material, often because of the filling valve diameter selection is not reasonable and the situation of leakage, which not only affects the filling accuracy, but also cause pollution. In actual filling, the filling problem of viscous materials is often solved by changing the caliber multiple times or using auxiliary mechanisms. This method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also increases the manufacturing cost. If it can be analyzed theoretically, the surface tension of the material can be used to prevent dripping initially, and the caliber of the filling valve can be selected by the calculation method, and then a good effect will be obtained. This paper mainly analyzes the influence of the viscosity, temperature and surface tension of semi-fluid materials on the diameter of the filling valve, and finally determines the optimal diameter of the filling valve. 1. The relationship between viscosity and temperature of semi-fluid. The viscosity of semi-fluid materials is greatly affected by temperature and usually decreases exponentially. Because the relationship between the viscosity and temperature of the semi-fluid measured by the experiment is only some discrete points, in order to facilitate the analysis, this paper constructs a relatively simple mathematical model under the premise of ensuring the accuracy. Based on the experimental data, the relationship between the viscosity and temperature of the semi-fluid is constructed by using the polynomial regression method. The following table: Temp/℃ 20 30 40 50 Viscosity×102/(Pa·s) 7.4022 4.8316 2.8921 1.7973 Temp/℃ 60 75 85 95 Viscosity×102/(Pa·s) 1.0338 0.8387 0.7412 0.5719 2. The relationship between viscosity and surface tension. Both the viscosity and surface tension of semi-fluids vary with temperature. As the temperature of the material increases, the amplitude of the vibration of the molecules at its equilibrium position increases, the relaxation time increases sharply, and the diffusion rate of the molecules increases; at the same time, as the temperature increases, those molecules with larger thermal kinetic energy It can overcome the gravitational attraction of the molecules of the object and become vaporized molecules, so the density of the object decreases, the attractive force of the molecules also decreases, and the surface potential energy decreases accordingly. Therefore, the viscosity and surface tension decrease accordingly. This is a theoretical analysis of the reason why the viscosity and surface tension of the material decrease with the increase of temperature. In order to obtain a more accurate quantitative relationship between viscosity and surface tension, the corresponding values of viscosity and surface tension were measured at different temperatures, as shown in the following table: Viscosity×102/(Pa·s) 7.4022 4.8316 2.8921 1.7973 Surface tension×10-2/(N·m-1) 7.275 7.118 6.824 6.609 Viscosity×102/(Pa·s) 1.0338 0.8387 0.7412 0.5719 Surface tension×10-2/(N·m-1) 6.322 6.251 6.186 6.037 3. The relationship between surface tension and caliber. When determining the relationship between the surface tension and the diameter of the filling valve, the experimental principle of measuring surface tension by the drop volume method can be used as the basis. A dropper for transferring liquid is used to slowly drop the material. When the droplet is about to drop, Consider the surface tension of the liquid multiplied by the length of the perimeter of the tip of the dropper to equal the mass of the drop. After the droplet is dropped, there will still be some liquid left at the front end of the dropper, and the surface of the pendant drop is not perpendicular to the dropper when it is about to drop, so it is usually necessary to introduce a correction factor F. The correction factor is the empirical data established by predecessors through precise experiments and mathematical analysis methods. After a series of improvements and supplements, the correction factor is gradually obtained. 4. Conclusion: It can be seen from several relational models analyzed above that when the required filling temperature is constant, first determine the viscosity of the liquid material at this temperature, then determine the surface tension at this time, and finally calculate the diameter of the filling valve. When the actual filling valve diameter is less than or equal to the calculated diameter, the material can be prevented from dripping by means of its surface tension. This theoretical study on the diameter of the filling valve achieves the purpose of simplifying the mechanism design of the filling valve, and has certain practical value. Combined with the addition of new mechanisms and components, the occurrence of dripping can be better prevented. Author:Robin 2022-06-24

In our daily life, whether we go out to eat or eat at home, whether it is winter or summer, we generally drink some beer, and beer has now become a part of our lives. So, naturally, there are more and more beer production lines. Now let's see how beer is produced! The raw materials for beer production are rice and malt, so we have to process the malt first. Beer fermentation equipment Malting process: Raw barley → roughing (removing impurities, stone and iron) → selection (removing miscellaneous grains and damaged grains) → grading (below 2.2mm for feed) → dipping → germination (through temperature and humidity regulation air) → green malt → Drying and coking→root removal→finished malt Beer Craft: Rice and malt → crushing of raw materials → gelatinization → saccharification → wort filtration → wort boiling → hop addition → cyclotron precipitation → cooling → fermentation → post-fermentation (mature) → wine filtering → Filling → Fresh Beer Sake↗ ↘ Sterilization → Filling → Cooked Beer For packaging beer, there are generally two types: aluminum can or glass bottle. Aluminum cans have two macro consumption trends: convenience and discovery. Aluminum cans are lighter, more durable, easier to transport, and allow use in more places than glass bottles. Aluminum cans also offer consumers the ability to experiment with new brands or styles without having to commit to the volume and price of standard-format beverages. Not only that, the concept of environmental protection has become increasingly popular in the world in the past two years. The concept of environmental protection and low-carbon consumption will lead to canned beer products occupying the minds of consumers on a large scale. Looking at the time course of the world's beer packaging forms and evolution, it can be predicted that canned beer and bottled beer will keep pace with each other within five years. Of course, Sunswell can provide both glass bottled beer production line and aluminum canned beer production based on customers`s request. Glass bottled beer filling machinery Aluminum canned beer filling machinery We believe that seeing these above should have a general understanding of our beer production line! Sunswell is committed to providing solutions for 4000BPH-36000BPH beer production lines. Welcome to contact us if any idea or request. Author:Flora

In beer production, there are three common sterilization methods :(1) rapid flow Pasteur sterilization; (2) tunnel Pasteur sterilization; (3) aseptic filtration. Each of these three methods has advantages and disadvantages. Pasteurization, of any kind, kills living yeasts and bacteria in beer by heating it. When handled according to the specifications, the beer is biologically stable, allowing it to be stored at room temperature for months without going bad. The same effect can be achieved by using aseptic filtration, the basic principle of which is to pass the beer through a filter and remove the microorganisms from the beer. In Pasteur tunnel pasteurization, bottles or cans with beer are sent through conveyors into a tunnel, where hot water is sprayed to keep the temperature of the beer above 60℃ for a period of time and then cold water will spray to cool the beer. When rapid flow Pasteurization is used, the beer passes through two heat exchangers. The first one heats the beer to more than 70℃ and stays there for a few seconds. The second heat exchanger will cool the beer. All three methods affect the flavor of the beer, but the degree of damage is not the same. Aseptic filtration will reduce the mellow feeling and color of beer. The filter will remove the macromolecules from the beer, and these macromolecules, such as protein and dextrin, are part of the flavor and color of the beer. So, aseptic filtration is more suitable for the production of clear beers. Pasteur sterilization accelerates the oxidation of beer after a period of heating, which reduces the flavor. The degree of damage is directly related to the heating temperature, time and beer itself. Obviously, the less air at the top of the bottle, the less pasteurization will have an effect if the hot wort is properly treated. In contrast, the effect of rapid pasteurization on beer is less, although the heating temperature is high, but the duration is very short, and before sterilization, beer has been heated, contains less oxygen, and rapid pasteurization requires the use of aseptic filling, biological stability is better. Finally decided to adopt what kind of sterilization method, we need to accord the actual situation to determine and need to assess the effect of sterilization methods for wine, at the same time, also need to consider the investment, aseptic filtration membrane costs money, aseptic filling equipment is more expensive and the tunnel pasteurization is relatively cheaper.

1. Filling principle of high tank. The filling principle of the high tank is to use the constant pressure generated by the constant liquid level relative to the outlet position of the filling tube. When the pressure is constant, the liquid flow rate at the outlet of the filling tube is constant. As the cross section area of the pipeline is constant, the amount of liquid flowing out of the filling tube is also relatively constant per unit time. In view of this situation, it can be seen that the three factors determining the filling accuracy are "flow rate, time and area of tube section". The filling process is shown in the figure. 1.High Tank; 2. Feeding Hole; 3. Discharge Hole & Solenoid Valve; 4. Membrane Valve; 5. Filling Tube; 6. Discharge Hole. 2. Precision analysis From the three factors, mechanical structure and electrical configuration of the equipment, it can be seen that the main factors affecting the filling accuracy are as follows: A) High level tank: if the high-level tank cannot control the dynamic stability of liquid level, resulting in the fluctuation of liquid level, the flow rate will be affected, so that the filling accuracy will change. At the same time, when external pipes are used to provide liquid to the high-level tank, the pressure in the external pipes should be stable. If the pressure in the external pipe is unstable, the liquid level in the high tank will fluctuate greatly, resulting in the deviation of filling accuracy. B) Diaphragm valve: As the main components of flow regulation, if the diaphragm valve throttle mouth is stable, no change after adjustment, so the amount of outflow is stable, but is actually produce fluctuations, practice has proved that the diaphragm valve will be affected by the mechanical vibration, fluid flow, the clearance between the adjusting lever and even diaphragm, adjust the clearance between the rod and the fixed seat and other factors, the throttling orifice flow fluctuations, Thus affecting the filling accuracy. C) Filling tube: For filling tube, practice has proved that if the diameter of the tube is too large and the filling amount is small, the precision will be greatly reduced. If the diameter of the tube is too small, according to the analysis of the above three elements, we can judge that it will take longer to adjust the flow of the equipment, resulting in a great waste. 3. Suggestion A) The inlet of the high tank shall be able to withstand a pressure of 0.3 Mpa. That is, the buoyancy generated by floating ball in the tank should be able to overcome the pressure of 0.3Mpa in the pipe outside the tank, so that the feed spool is in a closed state. In actual production, it is suggested to keep 0.1Mpa-0.15Mpa-as far as possible to make the valve plate more rigid, so that it can reduce the changes caused by mechanical vibration and liquid flow. B) If there are many equipment, the automatic back pressure valve can be connected in the circuit to ensure the stability of liquid supply pipeline pressure. 4. To summarize It can be seen that the main factors affecting the filling accuracy of the high tank are the dynamic stability of the liquid level of the high tank, the mechanical vibration and clearance of the diaphragm valve, and the diameter of the filling tube. The most important factor is the dynamic stability of liquid level in high tank.

Nowadays, carbonated beverages are deeply loved by the public, such as Coca-Cola, Sprite and other beverages containing CO2, and carbonated filling machines are also indispensable equipment in beverage production and an important branch of the filling machine industry. Recently, we have provided carbonated beverage filling machinery to several countries, such as America, Kazakhstan, Panama, etc. American client ordered 4 sets at the same time. The following is the introduction of carbonated beverage filling machinery. 1. Description of carbonated beverage filling machinery: The carbonated beverage filling machine integrates rinsing, filling and capping. Depending on the bottle type, bottle material and cap, some parts of the filling machine have changed, but the general principle is basically the same. In general, PET plastic bottles are used to produce carbonated beverages. The working principle of the carbonated beverage filling machine is isobaric filling. When filling, the pressure in the liquid storage tank and the bottle are kept equal. The rest of the parts, such as rinsing and capping in the pure water filling machine, are the same, but the filling principle is different. The principle of using isobaric in carbonated beverage filling machinery is to ensure that carbon dioxide can be fully integrated into the liquid to achieve the required gas content. The filling temperature and pressure in the production of carbonated beverages are very important, which determine whether the required gas content can be achieved. Generally, the syrup water must be cooled by a cooling unit before the syrup water is mixed with carbon dioxide. 2. Main technical features of carbonated beverage filling machinery: ①The whole machine is made of 304 stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and easy to clean. ②All the main electrical components of the carbonated beverage filling machine are adopted, such as Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron. ③The carbonated beverage filling machine adopts programmable logic controller PLC to control all electrical components, with simple circuit, convenient maintenance, and easy operation. Once a problem is encountered, it will immediately send out a corresponding signal, stop the machine for maintenance, and provide corresponding maintenance information. The carbonated beverage filling machine is the core equipment of the entire carbonated beverage production line. The whole line is divided into five parts: 1) Water treatment equipment: quartz sand, activated carbon, sodium ion, precision filter, RO reverse osmosis, ultraviolet sterilizer. 2) Blowing system: blowing machine. 3) Mixing system: sugar melting pot, mixing tank, double filter, carbonated beverage mixer 4) Filling system: bottle unscrambler, carbonated beverage filling machine, cap loader, cap sorter. 5) Packaging system: light inspection, inkjet printer, sleeve labeling machine, film wrapping machine, palletizer.

In modern industrial society, with the prosperity of consumption, in daily necessities, food, medicine, cosmetics and other industries, enterprises need to use new science and technology to improve productivity and create more value, and the delivery conveyor can be quantitative and smooth transport productions. Especially in the post-packaging production line, the conveyor can smoothly and safely transport items such as bottles (round bottles or bottles with special-shaped cross-sections). And the bottles and cans are introduced into the production machinery such as labeling machine in order to complete a series of production processes such as labeling and sleeve labeling, cleaning and drying. How to ensure that bottles or cans enter various packaging machines in an orderly manner on the conveyor chain? An important device is needed here: the screw rod for entering and exiting bottles. Bottle in and out screw mechanism of the screw conveyor: it is a constant speed mechanism driven by the transmission system of the conveying equipment, which transfers the bottle or material transported by the conveying device to the screw conveyor through the star wheel, so that the material or bottle can work under the push of the spiral rotation. And the bottles will also be separated into formations with a certain interval by the spiral groove during the process of advancing. 1. Material requirements for the screw mechanism. The screw is the core part used in the canning production line of food and medicine. Due to the large number of bottles pushes, it is prone to wear and tear. If the bottle it pushes is made of glass, the bottle is also easy to break, so it is required to minimize the impact when pushing the bottle, so the screw should have high wear resistance, high strength, Self-lubricating, no internal stress, no deformation, easy to process and replace. And usually made of engineering plastics, black oil-impregnated nylon. 2. Structural requirements of the screw mechanism. The screw conveyor is equipped with a screw that pushes the bottle, which plays a very important role in the subsequent packaging production process. In order to further ensure the smoothness and stability of pushing the bottle, the structure of the screw is also very important. To meet the technical requirements of fixed-distance separation and timing push, the screw must meet the following conditions: (1) The container must move smoothly along the screw; (2) The container can be smoothly introduced into the spiral groove; (3) The container and the star wheels fit smoothly. 1. Design requirements of the screw According to the structural requirements, there are the following design requirements for the screw rod. There must be no impact when the bottle enters the screw conveyor and contacts the screw to ensure the integrity and safety of the product. Therefore, in actual use, according to the different laws of motion, the applicable occasions range from low speed and light load to high speed and heavy load. The movement law of the bottle is reflected in the design of the helix. The screw needs to be designed as an acceleration section that changes according to a certain curve. In the design of the helix, a flexible impact or no impact design is usually used to avoid rigid impact. For example: the movement law of the cycloid sine acceleration is 0 at the beginning and end of the container stroke. This is a no-shock design, suitable for high-speed and light-load conditions. This design is suitable for smooth delivery of the screw during the start-up phase. It is applicable to the assembly line; the motion law of cosine acceleration can ensure that when the screw is running at the maximum acceleration, the torque is relatively small, the impact is flexible, and the start is relatively stable. It is suitable for medium-speed and medium-load conditions, and also meets many medium and low speeds of conveying and filling requirements. Regarding the screw technology of conveyor line equipment, the screw can usually be divided into three-stage combined screw (that is, the simplified design of the screw), that is the constant speed section is equal pitch, the entry end of the bottle; the variable speed section, the middle transition of conveying materials section; and then through the constant acceleration section, the output end is smoothly connected with the star wheel. Of course, if each production enterprise has special requirements, it can also carry out other forms of screw combination for the screw at the entry end according to the production process of the enterprise itself. Input end: The input end adopts the form of equidistant screw, which is more conducive to the smooth entry of the container, so as to better reduce the vibration phenomenon. In order to facilitate the production and processing of the screw, the input end of the screw is often made into a cone. The shape length is about 15% of the total length. Intermediate transition section: In order to better meet the functional requirements of the intermediate section, it is necessary to design the screw into a shape that changes according to a certain curve, so that each street joint on the screw conveyor line has a corresponding equal helix angle, speed and acceleration, effectively reducing the impact of the bottle, thus better ensuring a smooth connection. Output end: As for the output end, since the pitch of the star wheel is generally greater than the center distance when the two bottles are in contact, it needs to be designed as a variable pitch, and the pitch is gradually increased according to the law of constant acceleration until the pitch increases to the same as the star wheel. The wheel pitches are equal. Of course, the required screw can also be designed according to the process requirements of different enterprises, but in processing, the more complex the curve is, the more difficult it is to process. Ordinary machine tools and economical CNC machine tools do not have the function of processing screw rods. Therefore, when designing the screw, it is possible to simplify the helical curve, mainly the medium and low speed screw, change the intermediate transition section into a constant acceleration section, and remove the complicated transition curve, and the constant velocity section at the output end is used as an extension of the terminal pitch. After the design and processing of the bottle, the screw that enters the bottle will not have a great impact on the smooth delivery of the bottle.

1. Installation of filling machine According to the different models and specifications of the filling machine, refer to the accompanying manual for installation. For the small filling machine, it is not required to build a foundation, it only needs to be installed on a flat workshop floor, lay a horizontal reference, adjust the elevation of the bottle-in and bottle-out chain belts according to the layout drawing, and adjust the feet so that the whole machine load is evenly distributed. For large bottling and capping machines, a solid installation base is required. When installing, it is necessary to lay a good level benchmark, especially when it is connected with the capping machine, the bottle inlet and bottle outlet belts of the two parts must be at the same level. In order to ensure smooth bottle delivery, the bottle-in holding plate under the bottle-in star wheel should be 0.5-1mm higher than the bottle-supporting table; the bottle-out holding plate under the middle star wheel should be 0.5-1mm lower than the bottle-supporting table. Check whether the transmission joints are running freely, and there must be no clamping interference. The horizontal part of the inlet pipe should have a certain slope to facilitate emptying and air discharge. Make sure that the load is carried evenly on each foot. The equipment supporting the main machine, such as gas-liquid control cabinet, vacuum pump system and electric control cabinet, etc. are generally installed separately. 2. Debugging of filling machine After confirming that the filling machine is installed, it can be debugged step by step as follows. 1) Replace and assemble suitable accessories according to the type of bottle to be filled, and adjust all parts, including the distance between the bottle feeding screw and guide rod, the safety switch of the side guard, the star wheel, liquid storage tank and the adjustment of the height of capping head, etc. 2) Thoroughly clean the liquid storage tank, liquid material pipeline and gas pipeline to ensure that there are no foreign objects. Simultaneously perform hydrostatic test on the liquid storage tank and pipeline. 3) Carefully check whether the wiring of the electrical control cabinet is correct, and the main switch can only be turned on after turning the equipment manually without clamping. Start the equipment in jog mode to check whether there is any abnormality. 4) Start the machine at low speed, check the performance of starting, braking, emergency stop and speed regulation. Then input an empty bottle at low speed, check whether it can pass through the bottle feeding screw, guide rod and star wheel, etc., and whether each control block can respond sensitively. Check whether the cap dropping is unobstructed and smooth, and whether the capping is tight. After that, adjust the values of the instruments on the liquid and gas control cabinet according to the filling requirements. 5) Check the liquid level and pressure of the liquid storage tank, conduct filling test, adjust the filling head, and control the bottling liquid level. 3. Maintenance of filling machine During the running of the filling machine, regular maintenance must be carried out as required. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the lubrication state of the equipment must be good. Each lubrication point must be filled with lubricating grease in time to maintain the oil level of each oil tank and the intact spray lubrication function. Timely replacement of various damaged parts such as seals, bottle conveying parts and wearing parts in transmission parts. Movable parts that are not adjusted for a long time, such as the liquid storage tank and the height adjustment device of the capper, etc., must be operated regularly to avoid corrosion. Regularly clean the liquid storage tank, infusion tube, filling valve and parts that may be in contact with the liquid material regularly as required. After each shift, liquid residue, oil, water and glass fragments should be removed to keep the equipment clean and hygienic. Due to the various models and specifications of filling machines, the performance, structure and working principle are quite different. Therefore, operators and maintenance personnel should operate and maintain according to the supporting operation manual of each machine. Author: Flora
