When looking for capping equipment, it is crucial to know first which type of capper your product requires. Do you want screw caps, twist-off caps, hand pumps, or push-pull caps on your bottle or container? If you require different cap types for format changeover times can be time-consuming. The bottle cap seals the top opening of a bottle to guard the product against leakage and spoilage and sterility and filling requirements depend on the nature of your product.

Capping

Dosing systems are a line of hoppers, feeders, filling machines, and checkweighers that operate in sync to dispense materials accurately. Dosing is an essential feature of the packaging process, whether you’re filling shampoo bottles or tea bags. But dosing equipment is critical for formulations, too, particularly in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Imprecise dosing may cause quality degradation in the best-case scenario. In the worst scenario, it creates serious health risks.

Dosing

Filling lines are used extensively in all industries, such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetics, to accurately package different products into a container suitable for that product. Although the filling process is at the very end of the production line, it is no less important than the earlier steps. Last but not least, the idiom that dates back to 1382 when John Wyclif wrote the firste the laste, and the laste the firste, indicates just that the last things on a list are just as valuable as the previous ones. In this case, this idiom fits perfectly.

Sorting is the process of arranging items systematically, using a specified criterion, to categorize and group similar items and identify non-conforming items for removal. The choice of a sorting machine depends on the type of item to sort, the sorting criteria, the number of categories that the items need to be sorted into, sorting speed, and accuracy. Sorting machines can be used in the food processing industry for sorting and categorizing fruits, vegetables, empty bottles, crates, and other items; other examples include sorting of tablets and capsules by weight for quality control in the pharmaceutical industry. As well as sorting waste in the recycling industry. Manual sorting is a laborious task however, with the use of specialized equipment, manufacturers are able to automate their sorting at high speeds.

Sorting

Drawing samples and testing them for conformity with preset quality standards allows manufacturing units to produce a consistent quality of the product. In a batch process, sample testing systems ensures that each batch meets the specified standards. In a continuous process, product and materials testing helps in the early identification of quality issues, saving significant time and resources, and preventing a sub-standard product from reaching the market. The selection of industrial testing equipment depends on the identification of key quality parameters. These parameters may include volume, weight, viscosity, hardness, particle size distribution, sterility, gauge and containment, among other parameters. Testing machinery need regular calibration to ensure that the parameters being tested are accurate. Some of the more common testing solutions include thermal imagers, scratch testers, optical inspectors and texture analyzers.

Analysis

Dispersing systems are used to produce emulsions of two immiscible liquids or dispersions of solid particles in a liquid medium. The mixers generally operate on the rotor/stator principle and apply a high shear force on the suspended particles to break them down. The choice of a dispersion mixer depends on the physical state of the material being dispersed, the continuous or batch nature of the process, desired particle size, and the viscosity of the mixture. Dispersion mixers are widely used in the food industry for the dispersion of solid ingredients in oil or water and in the coatings industry for the dispersion of pigments.

Dispersing

In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, containment solutions are used to protect the personnel from the leaking of airborne particles of hazardous substances, as powders or liquids are handled or transferred during processing.

Containment

Industrial feeding systems allows you to control the flow of solid bulk materials throughout the manufacturing line. After loading your material onto the vibrating hopper, a screw at the base drives it out in uniform doses to the next stage of processing. New feeding technologies are designed to deal with challenges of powders clumping together in the hopper (bridging and ratholing) that interrupt the outflow. Common feeder systems include centrifugal feeders, vibratory feeders as well as elevator, linear and pneumatic feeders.

Feeding

Industrial separation equipment encapsulates the separation process which is to separate components of a liquid mixture, for recovering dissolved solids from liquids.

The wave of liquid soaps and detergents in the 1950s revolutionized home and personal care. Cheap and convenient, these off-the-shelf products fit perfectly into the lifestyle of the time. A few decades later, though, plastic waste put the sustainability of hygiene products into question. Refill tablet production technology answers that by eliminating single-use plastic. Instead of picking up a new bottle every time, end-users complete the formulation process in a multi-use container and with a simple instruction: just add water.
