Product Overview

This single-head inline filler separates product replenishment from the dispensing operation. The feed pump supplies the hopper automatically, reducing repeated manual top-ups, while the servo-driven gear pump handles the filling quantity.

The filling range is 5–5000 mL. Suitable products include many water-like liquids, lotions and creams, including viscous oils, honey and shampoo. The formulation’s flow behavior, temperature and compatibility with the wetted pathway determine the operating setup.

The 30 L hopper provides a local product supply for the filling system. Heating and agitation are available as options where the product needs temperature control or movement during holding.

A conveyor carries bottles through the filling station. Operators can load empty containers onto the conveyor, or a bottle unscrambler can be connected for automatic infeed. Panasonic photoelectric components support the supplied sensing functions, while PLC and HMI controls coordinate the operating sequence.

The rated production speed is 25–40 bottles per minute. Actual output varies with quantity, product behavior and packaging conditions. Capping, sealing and labeling are separate operations that can be arranged around the filled container.


Machine Configuration

The product-supply section includes an integrated piston feed pump and a 30 L hopper. Automatic start-stop replenishment supplies the hopper as required, keeping the feeding duty separate from the gear-pump dispensing function.

A servo-driven gear pump delivers product to one filling nozzle. The pneumatic shut-off mechanism controls the end of dispensing. Conveyor transport and bottle positioning bring containers through the inline filling station.

PLC and HMI controls coordinate the supplied functions. Panasonic photoelectric components and AirTAC pneumatic components support sensing and actuation. Servo, PLC, HMI and electrical brands follow the selected project configuration.

The frame combines SUS304 stainless steel and aluminum alloy, with SUS316L stainless steel wetted components in the product pathway. Hopper heating and agitation are optional. The conveyor construction and any connected bottle unscrambler are selected around the packaging format and factory layout.


Key Features

  • Automatic start-stop replenishment reduces repeated manual filling of the hopper.
  • Separate feeding and dispensing pumps perform distinct product-handling duties.
  • A 30 L hopper provides a local buffer for the filling circuit.
  • Servo-driven gear-pump dispensing supports adjustable filling quantities.
  • A pneumatic shut-off nozzle controls product cut-off after dispensing.
  • Conveyor transport supports manual bottle loading or connected automatic infeed.

Applications

  • Cosmetic Cream & Lotion, and Skin Care
  • Hair Care, Personal Care & Body Wash
  • Pharmaceutical & Ointment Products


Working Principle

Prepared product is connected to the machine’s feed arrangement. The integrated piston feed pump replenishes the 30 L hopper through automatic start-stop operation, providing a local supply for dispensing.

Empty bottles enter the conveyor through manual loading or a connected bottle unscrambler. The supplied handling system presents each container at the filling position.

The servo-driven gear pump draws product from the hopper and delivers it through the single filling nozzle. Pump settings are established for the target quantity and the actual formulation.

At the end of the fill, the pneumatic shut-off nozzle closes to control trailing product. The bottle then moves onward, making the filling position available for the next container.

When optional hopper heating or agitation is supplied, those functions maintain the product conditions defined for the packaging task. Their settings follow the formulation rather than a general requirement applied to every liquid or cream.

The PLC and HMI coordinate the supplied feeding, dispensing and bottle-handling functions. Routine operation includes checking the product supply, filled quantity and condition of the package opening.

Filled bottles proceed to collection or separate closure equipment. Format or formulation changes require the corresponding setup and filling checks before production resumes.

Frequently Asked Questions

It includes automatic product replenishment. An integrated piston feed pump supplies the 30 L hopper through automatic start-stop operation, while a separate servo-driven gear pump performs dispensing. Operators therefore do not need to rely solely on repeated manual hopper top-ups.
The servo-driven gear pump controls dispensing. The piston pump performs the upstream feeding duty. Their settings and service requirements relate to different tasks, so product replenishment should be distinguished from filling adjustment.
The machine can process many compatible water-like liquids, lotions and creams, including oils, honey and shampoo. Suitability depends on actual flow behavior, temperature and material compatibility. A representative product assessment establishes the appropriate setup.

Installation Requirements

Plan the installation from the final equipment layout. The machine dimensions are 2000 × 760 × 1500 mm, with a listed weight of 200 kg. Provide additional space for the product source, replenishment connections, container loading, cleaning and service access.

Technical Buyer's Handbook & Deep Insight

Where the Single-Head Servo Gear Pump Filler Fits

This model combines one dispensing head with automatic hopper replenishment and conveyor-based bottle handling. Its main selection value is the connection between product supply and filling, rather than filling-head count alone.

The 30 L hopper provides a local buffer, while the integrated feed pump replenishes product automatically. The servo-driven gear pump then handles the dispensing duty across the 5–5000 mL range.

The arrangement suits factories that want to reduce manual product top-ups while retaining a choice between manual bottle loading and automatic infeed.

Separate Product Feeding from Metering

The piston feed pump and gear filling pump perform different tasks. Replenishment keeps product available in the hopper; dispensing controls the quantity delivered to the container.

Evaluate both duties during the equipment trial. Stable filling requires a suitable product supply as well as a correctly adjusted dispensing circuit.

The pump selection guide for process manufacturing provides related product-transfer considerations. For this machine, the practical focus is the relationship between the source container, feed pump, hopper and filling circuit.

Choose Hopper Options Around the Product

The hopper capacity is 30 L. Heating and agitation can be selected where the formulation needs those functions during holding and filling.

Identify the condition the product needs to maintain, rather than requesting heating or mixing as a general upgrade. A temperature-sensitive cream and a free-flowing liquid can require different arrangements.

The heating and mixing filling guide provides supporting context for those choices. Hopper conditioning should serve the filling task rather than replace the upstream manufacturing process.

Assess Liquids, Lotions and Creams with Representative Material

This machine can handle a broad range of compatible water-like liquids, lotions and creams. The actual formulation still determines the settings, contact-material requirements and dispensing behavior.

Review whether the product settles, entrains air, forms strings at cut-off or changes consistency during the packaging period. These observations help establish a useful operating setup.

For product-category context, the Cream Filling Machines section provides another selection path. A product-category label does not replace a trial with the actual formulation.

Use the Filling Range as a Format-Planning Requirement

The 5–5000 mL range covers a wide difference in production quantities. Establish the intended routine fills and packaging formats before choosing the final setup.

A very small container and a large bottle may require different nozzle access, guides and operating settings. The quantity setting is only one part of that conversion.

Provide representative packages for each important duty. This is more useful than expecting one demonstration to establish performance across the complete range.

Plan Manual Loading and Automatic Bottle Infeed

The conveyor can receive bottles placed manually by an operator. A connected bottle unscrambler provides automatic infeed when the production arrangement calls for it.

Review the complete operator task, including empty-container supply, product-source changes and finished-bottle handling. Automating infeed does not remove every replenishment or supervision task.

The unscrambler and conveyor interface must suit the bottle shape and presentation requirements. Identify the selected handling arrangement before finalizing floor space and line connections.

Compare with the Semi-Automatic Vertical Gear-Pump Filler

The semi-automatic vertical gear-pump filler is another equipment direction for operator-assisted dispensing.

Selection pointThis automatic single-head modelSemi-automatic vertical alternative
Product supplyAutomatic replenishment into a 30 L hopperReview its supplied feed arrangement
Container handlingConveyor transport with manual or unscrambler-fed infeedReview the operator-assisted handling sequence
DispensingOne servo-driven gear-pump filling circuitReview its actual dosing and control functions
Primary evaluationCoordinated feeding, filling and container transferOperator cycle and standalone dispensing requirements

Compare the complete task rather than assuming that automation alone makes one arrangement preferable. Product variety, run length and available staffing influence the appropriate choice.

Compare with Multi-Head and Tracking Configurations

The six-head automatic gear-pump filler provides a different dispensing layout to assess where the production task requires several filling positions.

The two-nozzle servo tracking packaging line offers another architecture, with nozzles that follow moving bottles during filling.

This single-head machine should be compared against those alternatives using the same product, target quantity and package. Head count, motion type and feeding arrangement are separate considerations, and none alone establishes the best fit.

Define Accuracy and Output at the Intended Operating Point

The accuracy specification is ±0.5%, with a rated speed range of 25–40 bottles per minute. Agree the quantity, measurement basis and representative conditions for evaluation.

The filling accuracy testing guide provides supporting measurement context. Assess repeated fills and the product-supply behavior during the run.

Output should include the practical effect of replenishment, bottle presentation and downstream handling. The rated speed range should not be treated as a guarantee at every fill quantity.

Include Cleaning Across Both Pump Duties

The product pathway includes the feed arrangement, hopper, gear pump, connections and nozzle. Cleaning only the dispensing outlet leaves the upstream circuit outside the changeover assessment.

Review how each section drains and which components require removal or separate service access. The cleaning-access guide for process equipment provides related inspection considerations.

For optional heating and agitation, include the supplied hopper components in the cleaning plan. Keep the approved method compatible with the formulation and contact materials.

Connect the Filler to the Required Closure Operation

The machine performs filling. Select the downstream closure equipment around the actual bottle and cap.

For suitable threaded closures, the automatic servo four-wheel capper provides one product-level option to assess. The closure and bottle-support requirements remain specific to the package.

Review transfer height, spacing and the condition in which bottles reach the next station. Coordinated interfaces matter as much as the individual machine functions.

Evaluate the Whole Operating Cost

Include product-source handling, hopper replenishment, cleaning, format conversion and service parts in the comparison. Automatic feeding reduces one manual task but introduces another pump circuit to maintain.

The machinery total cost of ownership guide provides a broader purchasing framework. Evaluate cost against the actual production schedule rather than the advertised speed alone.

Prepare the Purchase Specification

  • Identify the actual liquids, lotions and creams to be filled.
  • Define routine quantities within the 5–5000 mL range.
  • Provide representative bottles and jars.
  • Confirm the product source and automatic replenishment arrangement.
  • Select hopper heating and agitation where required.
  • Choose manual conveyor loading or automatic unscrambler infeed.
  • Identify format parts and nozzle requirements.
