Introduction

A milk filling machine, also known as a milk bottling machine or dairy filling machine, is an automated filling system specifically designed for dairy products such as fresh milk, pasteurized milk, flavored milk, and yogurt. The equipment is manufactured from food-grade 304/316L stainless steel, with a filling accuracy of up to ±0.5%, meeting hygiene, safety, and production requirements. It is suitable for various packaging formats, including PET bottles, glass bottles, cups, and cartons, and can be widely used in dairy processing plants, beverage production facilities, and OEM contract manufacturing lines.

Structure milk filling machine

  • Feeding System: Responsible for the storage, filtration, and pressure-stabilized conveyance of fresh milk, ensuring a uniform feed free of impurities.
  • Filling System: The core operational unit of the equipment, which dispenses a measured volume via a flow meter or metering cylinder and, in conjunction with a drip-proof filling head, performs aseptic filling.
  • Conveying System: Consisting of a conveyor belt, bottle-distributing screw, and star wheel, this system enables the automatic feeding of empty bottles, precise positioning, and orderly output of finished products.
  • Sealing System: Equipped with screw capping, press-on capping, or heat-sealing mechanisms depending on the bottle or carton type, this system seals the containers after filling.
  • CIP Cleaning and Sterilization System: Featuring acid and alkali cleaning lines and high-temperature sterilization lines, this system automatically circulates cleaning solutions through the equipment’s piping and filling chambers to eliminate bacterial residue.
  • Precise Positioning: Utilizing photoelectric sensors, bottle guides, and lifting assemblies to ensure precise container alignment, thereby preventing filling misalignment and product leakage.

Working Principle Milk Filling Machine

  • Automatic Container Conveyance
    Empty bottles, cups, or cartons are automatically fed into the filling station via the conveyor system and precisely positioned.
  • Container Cleaning
    Depending on the production process, a rinsing or aseptic sterilization system can be configured to ensure that packaging containers meet food hygiene standards.
  • Automatic Milk Supply
    Milk is transported from the storage tank to the filling system, with automatic level control.
  • Precise Quantitative Filling
    Filling valves automatically fill containers to the preset volume, ensuring consistent fill levels in every container and minimizing product waste.
  • Automatic Capping or Sealing
    After filling is complete, the equipment automatically performs capping, crimping, or heat sealing to ensure reliable package sealing.
  • In-Line Inspection
    Devices such as liquid level detection, missing cap detection, and weight detection can be configured to automatically reject non-conforming products.
  • Automatic Labeling and Packaging
    Finished products enter the labeling, inkjet coding, and packaging system, enabling the fully automated operation of the entire dairy production line.
  • Finished Product Output
    Packaged milk products are conveyed via a conveyor belt to the case packing or palletizing process, ready for storage and transportation.
