In the initial designing period, the focus of edible oil filling machine is mainly on how to solve leaking problem on filling valve, precision of filling, splashing problem and how to fill oil more intelligently. Newamstar began its exploration to investigate and survey in edible oil filling technology field, and to design the innovative filling valve. The two – pass cylinder and the unique slow – flow core wing design achieve the goal of filling speed adjustment from slow – quick to slow, which can ensure the stable and precise filling. The filling tolerance of filling in JIUSAN is less than 5 grams. The creative slow – flow core wing can also solve the problem of splashing, since it can provide drainage function when the valve is opening and closing. Siphon principle is also applied on the valve to absorb oil adhere to the valve head. Additionally, sealing sphere made of special material can have better surface tension to ensure the oil is not easily dropped. These two new technology have solved problems indicated above and made a big breakthrough in packaging industry.

With respect to electrical control, Newamstar created a customized and modularized software for JIUSAN, according to the attribute of edible oil filling, humanized operation requirement and several on – the – spot trial and certification. This set software is easy for operator to learn, which is stable, reliable and intelligent in the whole filling process. The operational system adopts touch screen operation, which is easy to use with high automation. Advantages of the control system is as below: no bottle no filling, online test of filling precision, alarming of continual overproof, different parameter setting for different kinds of bottles (automatic saving), stop of defective filling station and no bottle for defective filling station, fault self – diagnosis function which can ensure the machine be shut down when fault is detected. All these advantages can alleviate staff’s workload and received high evaluation from JIUSAN.

At present, weighing type edible oil filling machine in Newamstar has been a leader in Chinese market. Regarding to function and application, the machine has already been parallel to and even surpassed edible oil filling machineries imported from abroad. Now, Newamstar is confidence to explore the edible oil market proactively in the future.

Newamstar Edible Oil Filling Machine Helps COFCO Achieve Product Upgrading

With the continuous improvement of consumers’ pursuit of life quality, the demand for refinement, differentiation and diversification of future health consumer goods is becoming higher and higher. The edible oil industry is also affected by this trend. The innovation and iteration speed of edible oil products’ categories and packaging specifications have been faster and faster.

As a famous brand in edible oil industry, COFCO Fulinmen, in order to meet the market demand, focuses on the implementation of refined management, adopts order scheduling, and accelerates the turnover of inventory, which puts forward higher requirements for the flexible manufacturing of production lines, such as the efficiency and stability of equipment, production changeover time of different bottle specifications and intelligent information tracking. These have become the key technical indicators and contents of COFCO Fulinmen.

Based on the mutual trust and good cooperation foundation established with Newamstar for many years, COFCO Fulinmen has entrusted the edible oil packaging project to Newamstar, expecting to realize the flexible production of multi packaging specifications and bundled products with the help of Newamstar’s flexible packaging technology. For this reason, the two flexible production lines undertake the task of multi specification and bundling production, and one of the 4000 BPH (5L) edible oil filling line is compatible with 4L, 4.5L, 3.68L and 5.436L bottle specifications, while the other 4000BPH(900ml) edible oil filling line is compatible with 400ml and 700ml bottle specifications. At the same time, it also needs to realize the bundling of 5L and 400ml bottles and the bundling of 5L and 700ml bottles.

More than 20 people are required to deal with bundling in the traditional way. In the warehouse, the cartons of large and small bottles are disassembled, and then the small bottles are hung on the large bottles, and finally manually packed and palletized. This process is not only inefficient, but also needs to separate a lot of space to implement, and needs to deal with the transfer box, which consumes a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources and time costs. Now, the solution provided by Newamstar is that after the products produced by the two production lines are converged, online bundling, automatic packing and automatic palletizing will be carried out automatically, which perfectly solves many existing problems for customers, and bundling can be realized on the existing packing machine and palletizing machine, saving equipment investment cost and land occupation space.

Separation of people flow and logistics

The implementation plan is centralized palletizing on the first floor, the second floor is the main line of filling and packaging, including the workflow from bottle blowing to carton sealing, while the third floor provides cartons, preforms, caps and top handles, which are sent to the relevant equipment of the production line on the second floor through specific conveying devices.

Green preservation technology

Before filling, nitrogen is used to replace the air at the bottle mouth to avoid oil oxidation, improve shelf life and ensure product safety.
