DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF AUTOMATIC LIQUID FILLING MACHINE

Abstract

Filling is a process in which liquids, such as water or beverages are filled in different bottles. Filling plants are extensively being used in beverages and pharmaceutical industries. Present times require a cheap and more accurate alternate to increase the productive capacity which can be achieved by implementing necessary modifications. The purpose of this project is to convert a human based filling machine into automatic filling machine by deploying Geneva mechanism supported by cam mechanism. This method uses a tray mechanism to fill multiple bottles at a time. A stepper motor is used to run that conveyer belt. As our system uses less sensors, hence its relatively cheaper. Here, system for bottle filling is developed which consists of compressor, Geneva & cam mechanisms. Compressor is used to control pressure difference, the driving force to fill the liquid. Our machine is easy to use, as it is automatic and very simpler steps are needed for its operation. The machine is portable and require less space which makes it environment friendly as well. As this machine is quite simpler than the previously used machines, hence it can be easily manufactured by the coordination of industrial and engineering sector.
