The 3 Main Pieces of Equipment Used in Filling Equipment
Packaging liquids and gases into containers is a process that has been around for centuries. In the early days, this was done by hand, with people packaging items in small quantities. Over time, packaging automation has been developed to speed up the process and make it more efficient. Filling equipment is an important part of packaging automation, and there are several different types of filling equipment that can be used depending on the type of liquid or gas being packaged.Let’s discuss the different types of filling equipment and how they are used to package liquids and gases.
Pumps
One type of filling equipment is a pump. Pumps are used to move liquids or gases from one container to another. They can be used to fill containers with a liquid or gas, or to empty containers of a liquid or gas. Pumps can be operated manually or automatically, and they can be powered by electricity, compressed air, or hydraulics.
Valves
Another type of filling equipment is a valve. Valves are used to control the flow of liquids or gases. They can be used to open and close containers, to regulate the flow of liquids or gases into containers, or to release liquids or gases from containers. Valves can be operated manually or automatically, and they can be powered by electricity, compressed air, hydraulics, or pneumatics.
Meters
A third type of filling equipment is a meter. Meters are used to measure the flow of liquids or gases. They can be used to measure the amount of liquid or gas in a container, or to control the flow of liquids or gases into or out of a container. Meters can be operated manually or automatically, and they can be powered by electricity, compressed air, hydraulics, or pneumatics.
Filling equipment is an important part of packaging automation. There are several different types of filling equipment that can be used depending on the type of liquid or gas being packaged. Pumps, valves, and meters are all types of filling equipment that can be used to package liquids and gases. Each type of filling equipment has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to choose the right type of filling equipment for your packaging needs.
