Semi-Automatic Vertical Gear Pump Filling Machine for Cream, Lotion, Gel, Shampoo, Liquid Soap, Honey and Syrup
The Semi-Automatic Vertical Gear Pump Filler dispenses compatible creams, lotions, gels, shampoo, liquid soap, honey and syrup through a single pneumatic shut-off nozzle. Product is drawn directly from an external supply container, while operators place and remove each bottle or jar. Foot-pedal and timed repeat modes support different working rhythms. Within the cream filling machines range, this compact mobile model provides a standalone filling station without a conveyor.

Product Overview
This vertical filler combines gear-pump dispensing with manual container handling. An external product hose connects the machine to a separate supply vessel, avoiding the need to transfer each batch into a machine-mounted hopper.
For hair care and body-wash packaging, the machine provides an operator-assisted filling station for compatible formulations. Creams, lotions, gels, honey and syrup can also be assessed around their actual flow behavior and product-contact requirements.
The filling range is 5–5000 mL, with an accuracy specification of ±0.5%. The rated production range is 10–30 bottles per minute; quantity, product consistency and manual container exchange influence the working pace.
Operators can initiate individual fills through the pedal or use timed repeat operation. In both modes, bottles and jars are positioned and removed manually. The machine has no conveyor.
PLC and HMI controls provide the supplied operating interface. A pneumatic shut-off nozzle controls product cut-off, while the compact SUS304 frame sits on casters for planned positioning. The machine’s role is dispensing; product preparation, heating, mixing and closure application are separate duties.
Machine Configuration
The vertical frame supports a single gear-pump filling circuit, an external product-feed connection and a pneumatic shut-off nozzle. Product is drawn from a separate supply container rather than a machine-mounted hopper.
Foot-pedal initiation and timed repeat operation provide two operating modes. Operators place and remove every container at the filling position; no conveyor is fitted.
PLC and HMI controls manage the supplied dispensing settings and repeat interval. AirTAC pneumatic components and cylinder support nozzle actuation. PLC, HMI and electrical brands follow the ordered configuration.
SUS316L stainless steel wetted components form part of the liquid pathway. The SUS304 frame is caster-mounted, with a listed footprint of 700 × 600 mm.
The equipment is supplied without hopper heating, agitation or an automatic replenishment pump. The external product source is arranged around the formulation and approved feeding conditions.

Working Principle
The product hose connects the filler to a separate supply container. The feeding arrangement is prepared for the actual formulation, with the inlet kept in a suitable position throughout operation.
The gear-pump circuit is primed according to its operating instructions. Operators set the target quantity and establish the nozzle and container position before production.
In pedal mode, the operator places a bottle or jar beneath the nozzle and initiates the fill. The gear pump delivers product through the dispensing circuit, and the pneumatic shut-off nozzle closes at the end of the cycle.
In timed repeat mode, the machine repeats dispensing with the selected interval between fills. The operator exchanges containers within that working rhythm. Filling quantity and the repeat interval are separate settings.
Containers remain manually handled in both modes. Filled packages are removed and transferred to the required closure or collection arrangement.
PLC and HMI controls manage the supplied functions. During production, the operator monitors product availability, filled quantity and the condition of the container opening.
A change in formulation or package requires the corresponding cleaning and setup checks. The external supply, hose, gear pump and nozzle are reviewed together before the machine returns to routine operation.

After-Sales & Technical Support
🔧 Common Problems
Possible operating symptoms include variation in filled quantity, intermittent product flow, visible air in the supply hose or liquid trailing after nozzle closure. Operators may notice difficulty maintaining a steady product supply as the source container empties, residue around the container opening or differences after a formulation change. Manual handling observations may include difficulty positioning a container consistently or keeping pace with timed repeat operation. Other symptoms include an irregular nozzle response, audible pneumatic leakage, repeated HMI messages or unexpected interruptions in dispensing. During cleaning and changeover, product, color or fragrance may remain in the hose, pump or nozzle. Record the formulation, quantity, operating mode, supply arrangement and affected stage when investigating an observation.
🛠 Troubleshooting
Problem: Filled quantity varies between containers. Possible Cause: Air entry, product-supply changes or dispensing settings affect the fill. Recommended Solution: Review the source and hose arrangement, then compare repeated measurements before changing settings.Problem: Product flow becomes intermittent. Possible Cause: The inlet position, supply condition or a restriction interrupts feeding. Recommended Solution: Check the external supply. Isolate the machine before inspecting the pathway.Problem: Product trails after dispensing. Possible Cause: Residue, seal wear or pneumatic shut-off operation affects the nozzle. Recommended Solution: Stop and isolate the equipment before cleaning and inspecting the nozzle assembly.Problem: The operator cannot exchange containers within the repeat interval. Possible Cause: The interval does not suit the packaging task. Recommended Solution: Stop repeat operation and establish a suitable interval or use pedal mode.Problem: Pedal activation does not start the expected fill. Possible Cause: The selected mode, an operating condition or the pedal connection interrupts initiation. Recommended Solution: Review the HMI settings and operating indication before service inspection.Problem: Filling changes after switching products. Possible Cause: The formulation, feed condition or remaining residue differs. Recommended Solution: Review changeover completion and establish the new product setup using representative fills.Problem: Pneumatic nozzle movement becomes irregular. Possible Cause: Air-supply conditions or a component fault affects actuation. Recommended Solution: Stop the machine and inspect through the approved service procedure.
