AUTOMATIC FILLING MACHINES

An automatic filling machine delivers a free-flowing or semi-viscous product into a bottle, jar, jerrycan or tin without asking an operator to fill each container by hand. ARSANMAK builds these machines at its factory in Şile, Istanbul, around the liquid and the container that will actually run. There is no single list price on this site. The price is prepared after the product is reviewed and the line is described.

Four machine groups sit on this page: flowmeter filling, volumetric filling, rotary filling, and automatic tin filling with closing. All four are liquid-filling lines. Capping and labeling are separate groups. They can be planned in the same project, after the fill.

What does an automatic filling machine do?

On a semi-automatic bench, speed and the amount in each container follow the operator’s rhythm through the shift. An automatic filling machine releases the product in a set pattern, centers the bottle and holds it. The aim is a repeatable fill when the same liquid and the same container come around again. A touch screen lets the operator see the recipe and the running mode. A safety sensor is there so filling does not continue while a guard is open.

Not every liquid moves at the same speed. A thin solution and a thick sauce, a shampoo or an oil do not pass the same nozzle in the same time. A foaming product overflows if the container is filled to the rim. ARSANMAK does not lock the machine to one catalog model for that reason. Viscosity, foam, temperature and the neck opening are discussed in the meeting. Parts that touch the product are then stainless steel or PVC. Food contact usually calls for a stainless surface. Some chemicals are better suited to PVC. The choice is not announced before the product is named.

How is the fill quantity measured?

Automatic filling machines at ARSANMAK use three ways to measure: volumetric, flowmeter and gravimetric. All three fill a liquid. The difference is whether the dose is a volume, a measured flow, or a weight.

Volumetric filling

In volumetric filling the dose is the volume swept by a piston or a similar chamber. When the same container and the same product repeat, the delivered volume stays fixed. Food, cosmetic and chemical lines often look at this route once the viscosity has been described. Machine examples are on the volumetric filling machines page.

Flowmeter filling

In flowmeter filling the product passes a flow meter. Filling stops when the measured amount reaches the target. A line that changes bottle size often may need a volume change without swapping a chamber. That group is collected under flowmeter filling machines.

Gravimetric filling

In gravimetric filling the container is weighed on a load cell. Filling stops at the target weight. When density shifts with temperature, or the label sells by weight, a scale can be clearer than a volume. This method is used beside the volumetric and flowmeter groups when the product needs it. There is no separate listing page. Whether a scale is required becomes clear when the sample is discussed.

Types of automatic filling machine

The automatic liquid lines built in Şile are reviewed under four headings. The right heading depends on the shape of the container and on whether the line should run continuously or in batches. The pages below show the machines in each heading.

Flowmeter line

Flowmeter filling machines finish the dose by measuring the liquid that passes. They come up for thin and medium products, and for lines whose bottle volume changes often. Nozzle count and line speed are not fixed in a table before a product sample exists.

Volumetric line

Volumetric filling machines push a set volume into the container. Plants that repeat the same bottle or jar all day, and that want a straightforward measuring arrangement, look at this group. The volume is set together with the piston stroke and the product’s body.

Rotary line

Rotary filling machines move containers on a rotating table. This layout is considered when containers should travel between fill points without a stop-start motion. Container diameter, neck type and the floor plan are settled with a sample. This page does not promise a fixed number of bottles per minute.

Tin filling and closing

Automatic tin filling and capping machines fill a metal tin and close it on the same line. Paint, oil, a chemical or a food tin, whose mouth is not a bottle neck, belongs in this group. A tin end is not a bottle cap. The closure follows the tin’s own size.

Which products and which packs?

An automatic filling machine is not tied to one industry. ARSANMAK builds lines for food and beverage, cosmetics and personal care, cleaning products, chemical and agrochemical liquids, and vehicle-care fluids. Olive oil, vinegar, a sauce, shampoo, liquid soap, detergent or antifreeze is not the same stored setting. Foam, density and the pack all differ. The shared condition is that the product flows, or is semi-viscous, and that it is measured into a container.

On the pack side, glass or plastic bottles, jars, jerrycans and metal tins are reviewed. Neck diameter, a handle, the shoulder and the label panel change the clamps that hold the bottle and the nozzle height. Taking those sizes from an empty sample, not from a photograph, reduces the chance that the container will not sit in the line. If a label will be applied later, the meeting also covers whether the container is left wet where the label must stick.

Whether the wetted surface is stainless steel or PVC is part of the same conversation. For food and for many cosmetics, stainless steel gives a surface that can be cleaned. If an acid or a solvent is involved, the material is not chosen until the product name and concentration are written down. A general catalog sentence does not replace chemical compatibility.

Capping and labeling after the fill

Most projects ask about the cap and the label together, because a filled container still has to leave the line. Bottle caps are on the capping machines page, and the label group is on the labeling machines page. An automatic filling machine does not have to finish both jobs inside itself. On a tin line, closing belongs to the tin group. On a bottle line, the cap is a separate machine.

So that the three groups do not wait on one another, fill time, cap feed and the label reel are calculated together. That calculation is part of the price. If only filling is wanted, capping and labeling stay off the line for now. If they will be added later, space and speed are noted today.

A workshop with lower volume, or with frequent product changes, may look at a semi-automatic machine instead of an automatic line. All liquid groups are gathered on the liquid filling machines page. This page shows only the groups that run automatically.

Why there is no list price

An automatic filling machine grows with the measuring method, the nozzle layout, the body material and, when needed, a capper or a labeler. A single number on the internet leads people to treat the wrong machine as the right one. ARSANMAK prepares the price after meeting the customer about the product, then builds the machine to that meeting. The meeting asks for a product sample, an empty container, the target fill and the layout of the plant. A figure given without those items will not match the machine that is delivered.

For a sample and a quotation, use the form or the sales line on the contact page. Production is in Şile. The machine is manufactured for the product written down in the meeting. A random model is not shipped from stock.

Where the machine is built

ARSANMAK traces its roots to Ar-San Makine, founded in 1975 by Mukadder Özten. Production in industrial filling technology continues today at the factory in Şile, under family management. The automatic filling machine is built there too, with volumetric, flowmeter or gravimetric measuring, and with stainless steel or PVC as the product requires. The sales promise is not a speed chart. The promise is that the reviewed product enters the container in a measured, repeatable way.

To see which group fits, walk the four pages above, then write to the sales team with the product and an empty container. The right automatic filling machine is the result of the liquid and the pack, not of the search phrase alone.
