ELF-1 Peristaltic filling machine

The ELF-1 Filling Machine is suitable for filling liquids of varying viscosities. A major advantage of this equipment is its versatility: it can handle not only standard bottles, vials, and jars but also products that are prone to tipping over.

Products prone to tipping must be placed into a pre-fabricated cassette, which can securely hold 4 vials in an upright position simultaneously.
For products with a larger diameter, no specialized holding inserts (nests) are required.
The operator is responsible for placing empty bottles or loaded cassettes onto the conveyor line. Upon starting the machine, the pneumatic release gate closes, holding the incoming containers in place. The machine can be configured to fill specific volumes. An object-detection sensor identifies the bottles based on the pre-set parameters. When 4 unstable vials are placed in a cassette, the system counts them by detecting their necks. If the operator places one fewer vial into the cassette, the filling cycle will not initiate, thereby preventing misfilling.
Once the pre-set number of vials is detected, the entry gate closes, and the filling heads move to their final position. This final position can be adjusted based on the foaming characteristics and viscosity of the liquid.
By closing the entry gate, the system holds back subsequent empty containers, ensuring a continuous production flow. Once filling is complete, the filling heads return to their home position; the discharge gate releases the filled products, while the entry gate admits the empty bottles. Removing the finished products from the conveyor is the operator's responsibility, or a rotary accumulation table can be incorporated to buffer the finished products.
