Filling route
Automatic tracking filling line
Consider this route when an established bottle format is expanding or stop-start filling disrupts surrounding stages. Continuous movement only makes sense when bottle pitch and the line-rate window fit.
If bottles should keep moving, the key is not simply a moving filler; bottle pitch, the tracking window, and surrounding line rates must work together.
Send the bottle, pitch, product temperature, dose, conveyor, and downstream machines. The first checks are the tracking window, return motion, and format change.
In a tracking route, the filling heads move with continuously advancing bottles. Rinsing and drying can sit upstream, with cap handling, capping, double-side labeling, and accumulation downstream.
Tracking movement, label positions, and downstream interfaces are confirmed from glass or plastic bottle samples, bottle pitch, dose, product temperature, and current conveyor-speed control.
A tracking route requires review of tracking travel, the synchronisation window, return motion, and rate relationships with adjacent machines. Actual rate is verified with the selected product, bottle, dose, and line conditions.
