As a business grows, higher demand may require new solutions for preparing products for the consumer. Efficient, consistent and reliable preparation can be achieved by employing a complete Packaging Line. Complete lines will look different for every packager, and Liquid Packaging Solutions can help source, build and put into practice the ideal solution for almost any business.
most of the equipment for a complete, automatic system will be manufactured in Rochiev, which includes loading equipment, rinsing machines, liquid fillers, capping equipment, conveyors and more. For those packagers that require other machinery, such as labelers and coding equipment, Rochiev will integrate OEM machinery into the line, allowing a packager to acquire a complete solution from a single location. Some of the most common equipment on a complete line includes:
Conveyor Systems
Conveyor systems are typically used to move bottles throughout the packaging line, working as the circulation system of the line. Conveyors are available in different models, such as sanitary-style or C-frame, to meet the needs of the specific project or packager. Conveyors may also be used for loading or accumulating bottles, as well as cooling when a hot or molten product is being packaged.
Rinsing Machinery
While not a necessary part of every packaging line, rinsing machines ensure that dust, debris and other contaminants are removed from bottles and containers prior to the introduction of the product. Using air, water or other cleaning solution, rinsing equipment will invert bottles or use a vacuum to remove contaminants that may exist from the manufacture of the bottle, shipment of the bottle or the simple storage of containers. These machines are often seen in packaging lines handling food, beverage and pharmaceuticals to help ensure products are packaged in a sanitary manner with no contamination.
Liquid Filling Machines
Liquid fillers are used to get the right amount of product into containers in a reliable and consistent manner. Whether looking for a specific volume, a net weight or a fill that reaches the same level in each bottle, filling machines allow an operator to set up the machine prior to production for a repeatable fill on each bottle based on the necessary principle. Filling machines can fill between two and sixteen bottles each cycle, allowing a packager to meet almost any demand in a production day.
Capping Machinery
Bottle capping machines exist for just about any closure type. Spindle and chuck capping machines can secure screw-on, or continuous thread, caps. cappers use knives to thread aluminum blanks onto many different bottles. The capping machine used for any project will depend on the type of closure being used for the project. Automatic cap delivery systems mean operators of a line will only need to supply the machine with bulk caps on occasion, allowing bottles and other containers to be efficiently and consistently sealed throughout the production day.
Labeling Equipment
From wrap to front-and-back and even panel labeling, equipment can be added to Rochiev line to complete a fill, cap and label solution for almost any product.
Most complete packaging lines will include some or all of the equipment described above. However, an assessment of the components used, the speed necessary, the space available and many other items will help to determine the best solution for chemical filling.
