Automatic Liquid Filling Machine

While volume changes with variables like temperature and barometric pressure, net weight remains constant. That is why we at ZimaPack pride ourselves in building machines with the concept of filling by net weight. ZimaPack machines create a perfect solution for controlling your product giveaway and costs.

Each bottle is positioned into a filling station containing it’s own independent load cell. The filling valves fill with a laminar flow and without any spillage of product. The valves are located above the container and do not come in contact with the container during filling process.

Operators can create custom “recipes” of any desired tare and filling weight. These recipes are programmed as presets into the human machine interface (HMI), limiting changeover time.

During filling, ZimaPack uses cycle times of 125 μ to weigh the product until the target weight has been reached. Once the target weight has been reached the nozzles close.

ZimaPack fillers contain a Residual Correction Feature, which even accounts for the last drop after the nozzle has shut off, improving precision every cycle. ZimaPack guarantees a filling precision of Sigma 1= +/-1g on 1000g. All machines are equipped with a No Container, No Fill Feature. The filling valve will not release product if a station is missing a container.

Quick Tool-less Change Parts are made simple with snap-in change parts that can be inserted and removed without the use of tools. All change parts are color-coded and can be engraved with bottle descriptions.

All Fillers include an internal and an external Clean In Place (CIP) System.

Automatic Bottle Filling Machine

Our Rotary, Inline, and Semi-Automatic Filling Machines

Our Rotary Net Weight Filling Machines function for a wide-range of liquid products into rigid containers at low or high speeds with highly accurate fills. On the other hand, inline net weight fillers offer the same benefits as rotary machines but are best suited for large containers and slower speeds. Both types of equipment are built with the utmost precision to ensure consistent, precise fills.

We also offer Semi-Automatic Filling Machines with the same product saving technology as our Rotary/Inline Machines but for low volumes and/or lab use. They can also have more than one filling station and fill different size containers at the same time!

Rotary Fillers: Here’s what they do

  • They are typically for speeds above 40 BPM to 600 BPM.
  • They can handle a wide range of product viscosities and fill sizes from 1ml – 10000ml.
  • They are continuous motion machines with positive bottle handling
  • Can customize to Monoblock design with Rinser and/or Capper
  • Want to combine your filler and capper and/or rinser? Click here to take a look at our Monoblock machines

Inline Fillers: Here’s what they do

  • Typically for speeds under 40 BPM, which can integrate with an inline or intermittent Capper and/or Rinser.
  • Prongs attached to the load cell allow us to lift the bottles off the conveyor to fill by net weight. Containers that do not easily fall when lifted are best for this system.
  • They offer high flexibility as they need minimum change parts for different bottles sizes.
  • They offer great filling precision and our Automatic Clean In Place System makes it easy to switch from one product to another. No tubing or pistons= shorter cleaning times!

Semi-Automatic Fillers: Here’s what they do

  • The machine can dispense the substance into the container precisely, ensuring that each container will have the same amount of the substance.
  • Entry-level filler that doesn’t sacrifice precise fills
  • Dispensing low-volume products and/or dangerous substances, such as chemicals, in a
    controlled manner makes it ideal for small runs or laboratory equipment as it results in fewer spills and accidents.
  • Integration of an Optional Air/Water Rinser is possible

Automatic Filling Machines

Constant weight, constant customer satisfaction using ZimaPack Net Weight Filling Machines

When temperature and barometric pressure change, volume varies, but net weight remains constant. We at ZimaPack adhere to the notion of filling by net weight. Consequently, we construct devices with this idea in mind.

At ZimaPack, our engineers have over 35 years of experience in net weight filling. Are you prepared to begin? Contact us today for an estimate on the required machine!

What to Expect From Our Efficient Machines

Easy, Quick, Tool-less Change Parts

Changing components on our machines has never been this quick and straightforward, even without the need for tools. It is excellent for our customers that require more than one bottle or cap size. A snap-in change component allows for rapid, tool-free part insertion and removal. To make things quicker and more convenient for you, we offer options for dedicated cap chutes eliminating some change parts and allowing for faster changeovers.

Jam Detection System

In the event of a jam, we ensure that our jam-detecting system prevents the machine from continuing to rotate and causing any further damage. An alarm alerts the user to a jam via the machine’s screen with an illustration showing its origin or location.

Reject System

We can reject for incorrect weights, missing or crooked caps, missing foils, and quality control. The HMI screen (Human Machine Interface) can alarm and display the reject (these can also be shown in reports). A reject conveyor can be added so that the bottle can be safely guided onto a separate conveyor where an operator can collect and verify why it was rejected. The HMI will show why and a solution will be suggested to prevent further rejects.

Door Safety

When a machine door opens, the function immediately stops the machine from rotating. As soon as the machine comes to a halt, the screen will update to show which door is open. If the Filler is in the middle of filling a bottle it will continue to fill to the correct weight. Once the door is closed and the reset button is pushed the machine will continue to rotate.

User Access Levels

As a company, we place a high level of importance on the safety and security of our clients when they use our machines. Using your machine’s user access level feature, you can assign an Administrator, Operator, Manager, Technician, etc. Each assigned user will receive a user ID and password. Certain users can have access to all pages vs others can choose recipes/go into production but can’t make changes. This prevents operator errors, gives clear reports and helps with training!

The HMI screen and sync with a smartphone/tablet. Operators with access can use this feature to do anything the HMI screen does. Customizable reports are available on the HMI screen and can be downloaded or shared through an SD card and FTP server.

Custom Manual & How-to Videos

To ensure that our clients receive the best service and assistance, we create manuals and how to videos for each project or machine as a guide when operating.

Backed with Great Customer Service

We always listen to our clients and guarantee a same-day response. Rest assured that our team will resolve any issue as soon as possible. Remote troubleshooting is built into our software and allows us to access the machines quickly through a virtual private network (VPN) and sync with a smartphone /tablet for easy training/troubleshooting.
