Product Overview

StriversMachinery’s six-head gear-pump filler combines linear container handling with vertically moving filling nozzles. It serves manufacturers packaging compatible water-like liquids, lotions, shampoos, and creams that require an automatic filling stage within a bottle or jar production line.

The filling assembly lowers the nozzles into the containers and raises them during the operating sequence. This is a vertical lifting arrangement: the nozzles do not travel horizontally with continuously moving bottles. Container presentation and nozzle movement are coordinated at the filling positions.

A shared product hopper supplies the dosing system. The standard feed pump replenishes it automatically according to the material level. The hopper provides storage and supply without integrated heating or agitation, so the formulation must remain suitable for filling under the selected upstream preparation and holding conditions.

The included conveyor accepts manually supplied containers or can be connected to compatible bottle-feeding equipment. Finished containers leave the filling stage for separate closing and subsequent packaging.

Selection should consider actual formulation behavior, container geometry, target dose, and production requirements. Particle-containing, strongly abrasive, or exceptionally demanding formulations require a separate assessment rather than being treated as standard applications.


Machine Configuration

The machine combines six filling outlets, servo-controlled gear-pump dosing, and a servo lifting assembly that positions the nozzles vertically inside compatible containers. Pneumatic shut-off nozzles control product release at the outlets.

A shared 200 L hopper supplies the filling system. The included replenishment pump starts and stops according to material level, while the hopper itself provides storage without heating or mixing. The conveyor is included and coordinates container transfer through the filling stage.

Mitsubishi PLC and Inovance touchscreen controls provide the operating interface. SICK photoelectric components and AirTAC pneumatic components form part of the configuration. Other electrical and servo selections follow the agreed order.

The enclosed, floor-standing machine uses a SUS304 stainless steel frame and specified SUS316L stainless steel product-contact metal components. Flexible connections and seals require separate compatibility selection. Capping equipment is not included.


Key Features

  • Six filling outlets process compatible bottles or jars within a coordinated linear sequence.
  • Servo nozzle lifting supports vertical entry into containers during the filling operation.
  • The filling assembly moves vertically without horizontally following continuously moving bottles.
  • Pneumatic shut-off nozzles help control residual product release after dosing.
  • A shared hopper supplies the filling system from one product buffer.
  • The included feed pump replenishes the hopper automatically according to material level.
  • The standard conveyor supports manual container loading or compatible upstream bottle-feeding equipment.
  • Mitsubishi PLC and Inovance touchscreen controls centralize routine operation.
  • The enclosed arrangement groups dosing, nozzle movement, and container handling within one machine.

Applications

  • Cosmetic Cream & Lotion, and Skin Care
  • Detergents, Liquid Washing & Household Cleaning
  • Pharmaceutical & Ointment Products
  • Toothpaste & Oral Care Products


Working Principle

The six-head automatic filler coordinates container positioning, gear-pump dosing, and vertical nozzle movement. An automatic replenishment arrangement supplies the shared hopper so the filling system can draw product during operation.

  1. Product replenishment: The feed pump transfers product from the upstream source into the shared hopper. Material-level control starts and stops replenishment according to the supply condition.
  2. Container infeed: Empty bottles or jars enter on the included conveyor. Operators can load them manually, or compatible upstream equipment can provide the container supply.
  3. Filling presentation: The handling arrangement presents containers beneath the six filling outlets for the dosing sequence.
  4. Nozzle lowering: The servo lifting assembly lowers the nozzles into compatible container openings to the selected operating position.
  5. Gear-pump dosing: Controlled pump operation delivers product through the filling pathways. Pneumatic shut-off nozzles govern release at the outlets, while the lifting assembly carries out its configured vertical movement.
  6. Nozzle clearance: After delivery, the nozzles close and rise clear of the containers under the coordinated sequence.
  7. Container discharge: Filled containers continue along the conveyor toward collection or separately supplied closing equipment.

The nozzles do not follow bottles horizontally during filling. Product preparation, source replenishment, downstream capping, and required quality checks remain part of the wider production arrangement.

🔧 Common Problems

Possible operating symptoms include uneven container presentation, hesitation on the conveyor, or inconsistent clearance during nozzle entry and withdrawal. Filled quantities may differ between outlets or vary during a production run. Foaming, visible bubbles, wet container rims, or product strings may appear during filling. Hopper level may fluctuate, replenishment may become irregular, or product movement toward the filling system may be interrupted. Other symptoms include abnormal pump noise, inconsistent pneumatic shut-off action, unusual lifting movement, product leakage at accessible connections, or accumulation of filled containers at the discharge. Product appearance or flow may also change during holding in the unheated, non-agitated hopper.

🛠 Troubleshooting

Problem: Filled quantities differ between outlets. Possible Cause: Unequal product presentation, air in a pathway, or an unsuitable dosing setup. Recommended Solution: Measure results by outlet and inspect accessible product paths before reviewing adjustments.Problem: Foam or wet rims appear during filling. Possible Cause: Unsuitable nozzle position, delivery conditions, or formulation behavior. Recommended Solution: Assess the complete filling cycle with representative product before changing nozzle movement or dosing settings.Problem: Nozzles approach containers incorrectly. Possible Cause: Misaligned guides, an incorrect format setup, or containers differing from approved samples. Recommended Solution: Stop operation and inspect presentation and clearance before reviewing the lift setup.Problem: Hopper replenishment becomes irregular. Possible Cause: An interrupted upstream supply, restricted transfer, or a level-control issue. Recommended Solution: Inspect the source and transfer route before qualified checking of the replenishment controls.Problem: Shut-off action becomes inconsistent. Possible Cause: Residue, unstable air supply, or component wear. Recommended Solution: Inspect the outlet and air supply against the specified 0.4–0.6 MPa range before assessing replacement.Problem: Filled containers accumulate at discharge. Possible Cause: Restricted collection or downstream equipment unable to accept the flow. Recommended Solution: Review the discharge route and downstream operation before increasing the filling rate.

Why Choose This Machine

  • Coordinated multi-container filling: Six outlets provide a production arrangement for manufacturers moving beyond single-head filling, subject to the required formulation and package assessment.
  • Adjustable vertical nozzle positioning: Servo lifting allows the filling position to be reviewed against container depth and product behavior rather than relying on a fixed-height outlet.
  • Automatic product replenishment: Level-controlled feeding reduces the need for repeated manual charging of the hopper during a sustained run.
  • Shared product buffer: One hopper supplies the filling system, bringing the material-supply arrangement into a defined part of the machine configuration.
  • Flexible container supply: The included conveyor supports manual loading and allows compatible upstream feeding equipment to be considered as production requirements develop.
  • Separate closing selection: Filling-only supply allows the capper to be chosen against the actual bottle, jar, and closure format.
  • Centralized supervision: PLC and touchscreen controls bring routine operation to one interface while operators manage upstream materials, checks, and downstream handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

It is intended for compatible water-like liquids, lotions, shampoos, and creams. Selection depends on the actual formulation, filling temperature, flow behavior, and product-contact compatibility. Particle-containing, strongly abrasive, or unusually demanding products require separate assessment. High-viscosity mascara is not treated as a standard application simply because it appears in a general viscosity list.
The nozzles can move vertically under servo control and enter compatible container openings. They do not travel horizontally alongside continuously moving bottles. This distinguishes the machine from a tracking filler. Container presentation, nozzle clearance, and the vertical operating sequence must be set for the actual package.
The confirmed configuration uses gear-pump dosing and six filling outlets. A one-pump-per-head arrangement is not assigned in this description. If independent pump control or a particular head-adjustment function is important to the project, define that requirement in the final technical specification before ordering.

Installation Requirements

The six-head gear-pump filler requires a firm, level floor with access for container loading, upstream product supply, filled-container discharge, cleaning, and servicing. Listed machine dimensions are 2000 × 810 × 2200 mm, with a weight of approximately 600 kg. Confirm the complete placement and service clearances against the final arrangement drawing.

Allow overhead and working clearance for the servo nozzle-lifting assembly. The listed overall height does not independently establish the maximum operating or maintenance envelope.

Provide an electrical supply matched to the ordered voltage, frequency, and phase configuration. The supplied total-power figure is 3 kW. Qualified personnel should complete protective earthing and electrical connection according to the final equipment documentation.

Provide compressed air at 0.4–0.6 MPa with quality appropriate to the installed pneumatic components. Route utility lines clear of the conveyor and moving filling assembly.

Position the upstream product source to suit the replenishment pump and transfer route. Establish a separate plan for downstream capping and collection. The hopper has no heating or agitation, so upstream preparation and holding conditions must maintain product suitability.


Technical Buyer's Handbook & Deep Insight

6-Head Servo Gear Pump Filling Machine for Conveyor-Based Production

This configuration combines six filling outlets with vertical servo nozzle movement, a shared product hopper, and automatic replenishment. It is intended for manufacturers organizing compatible cosmetic liquid, lotion, cream, or shampoo filling as a defined stage within a production line.

The confirmed output reference is 50 bottles per minute for 1 L shampoo. That operating point is more useful for comparison than an unqualified speed figure because it identifies both the product type and dose associated with the stated output.

Use the 1 L Shampoo Reference Correctly

The 50-bottle-per-minute figure is the combined output of the complete six-head machine. The corresponding 3000 bottles per hour is the same rate expressed hourly, not a separate capacity claim.

Do not multiply either figure by the number of heads. Likewise, do not assume that the rate remains unchanged at every volume within the 5–5000 mL filling range.

For the intended application, provide the actual formulation, dose, bottle, and required sustained output. Include replenishment, quality checks, downstream closing, and interruptions when estimating batch completion.

Distinguish Vertical Nozzle Lifting from Tracking Filling

The servo assembly lowers the nozzles into compatible containers and raises them during the configured sequence. It does not follow bottles horizontally while they continue moving.

This distinction affects container presentation, clearances, and line planning. The container must be correctly positioned for nozzle entry, and the outlet must clear the opening before transfer proceeds.

Provide package drawings or samples showing the opening, shoulder, body, and internal geometry where relevant. A bottle may have sufficient nominal capacity yet an opening or shoulder arrangement that requires a different nozzle setup.

Evaluate Product Behavior During Filling

Shampoo, lotion, cream, and water-like liquid are broad application descriptions. Products can differ in foaming, stringing, viscosity change, and response to pumping even when sold under the same category name.

Use representative material at the intended filling temperature. Observe quantity, appearance, outlet residue, and container-rim condition during the complete cycle.

Vertical nozzle entry and shut-off action should be evaluated as part of that setup. Neither feature independently establishes foam-free filling or compatibility with every viscous formulation.

The pump selection guide provides broader context for matching product behavior and a pumping arrangement.

Plan the Shared Hopper Around Product Condition

The 200 L hopper supplies the filling system without heating or agitation. Its purpose is buffering and feeding, not changing or maintaining the formulation through additional processing.

Consider whether the product remains uniform and fillable throughout the intended run. A formulation that separates during holding or changes flow as it cools requires attention to the upstream process and supply arrangement.

The hopper volume alone does not establish the usable quantity before replenishment or the number of finished containers available from every product. Residual material and the operating supply condition also matter.

Assess Automatic Replenishment Across a Sustained Run

The included feed pump starts and stops according to material level. This reduces repeated manual hopper charging, but it still depends on an available upstream product source.

Review the source location, transfer route, connections, and replenishment performance under the intended production conditions. Product entering the hopper should remain suitable for the accepted filling setup.

Include replenishment events in the application trial where appropriate. The system’s ability to restore material level and the filler’s ability to maintain acceptable quantity are related requirements that should both be observed.

Check Filling Results by Outlet

The specified filling accuracy is ±0.5%. Establish the target dose, actual formulation, sampling plan, and measurement method before using that figure as an acceptance criterion.

Identify samples by outlet so a combined average does not conceal variation across the six positions. Review results after setup and during sustained operation.

Where mass measurements are used to evaluate a volumetric fill, define the appropriate relationship for the product under the agreed conditions. The filling accuracy testing guide provides further measurement considerations.

No integrated checkweigher, automatic weight correction, or particular independent-pump arrangement is assigned to this configuration.

Match Container Supply and Closing to the Filling Stage

The conveyor is included. Operators may supply containers manually, while compatible bottle-feeding equipment can be added where automatic infeed is required.

Review the ability of the chosen infeed arrangement to support the intended rate. Empty-container availability, stability, and consistent presentation matter alongside the filling cycle.

Capping is separate. Select the closing process against the actual container and cap rather than treating it as a generic extension of filling. A servo four-wheel screw capper can be evaluated for compatible threaded packages.

Conveyor connection, transfer heights, accumulation, and any required control interfaces need an explicit integration review.

Compare Supply and Nozzle Arrangements Across Related Fillers

The appropriate comparison includes the product-supply method, nozzle movement, and package handling—not only the number of outlets.

These configurations are not equivalent replacements. Select against product behavior, the required quantity, container handling, and the complete production workflow.

Review Format Changes Before Ordering

The 5–5000 mL filling range does not establish a universal bottle-size range. Package changes may affect guides, nozzle alignment, vertical travel, filling access, and transfer stability.

List every intended bottle and jar variant. Supply the opening and body dimensions, target fill, and any packaging features that influence presentation.

Confirm the adjustments or change parts required and the checks needed before restarting production. A new volume setting alone may not complete a mechanical format change.

Plan Cleaning Across the Hopper and Six Product Paths

Cleaning access should include the shared hopper, replenishment route, dosing system, six filling outlets, and accessible container-handling areas.

For multiple products, define carryover acceptance and how removed contact components will be identified and stored. The cleaning method must suit the formulation and installed materials.

The guide to cleaning access in process equipment provides further points for reviewing retained material. Automatic CIP, SIP, and sterile-processing capability are not specified here.

Prepare the Installation and Purchasing Scope

The supplied machine power is 3 kW, with compressed air at 0.4–0.6 MPa. Confirm the final utility schedule, product-source connections, and nozzle-motion clearances against the ordered configuration.

The factory utilities planning checklist provides a framework for coordinating service conditions and installation responsibilities around a cream or lotion production line.

Include change parts, setup, cleaning, replenishment, checks, and downstream handling when reviewing ownership costs. The total cost of ownership guide explains how to organize these factors without relying on unsupported savings or payback figures.

  • Provide representative product and its filling conditions.
  • Identify target doses and sustained output requirements.
  • Supply samples or drawings of all intended containers.
  • Define filling and product-appearance acceptance methods.
  • Describe the upstream source and product-replenishment route.
  • Confirm whether the formulation remains suitable without hopper heating or agitation.
  • Specify manual or automatic container supply and separate capping requirements.
  • Agree on utilities, cleaning, change parts, and integration responsibilities.
