Fully Automatic Mascara / Eyeliner Filling Machine FEATURES
INDEXING CONVEYOR
A precision indexing chain with 90 pairs of pockets holding interchangeable pucks. The chain runs in delrin guides and is indexed by a Camco 8 station unit driven by a 3 phase geared motor controlled by an inverter drive with braking system. TUBE LOAD
A pair of bowl feeders 600mm diameter feed the tubes onto a 900mm transfer conveyor that feeds them into a loader mechanism that orientated them open end up into pairs of pucks. FILLING
The containers are filied by two 1 to 20m1 standard mascara pumps. The filling has a dive to the bottom and fill on rise facility. FILL SENSE
The containers are checked to ensure that they had been filled. Low filled containers are not be plugged or capped and are eject at a scrap chute.Two consecutive low fills will stop the machine. CAP LOAD
A pair of 700mm diameter bowl feeders orientate and feed the caps with the brushes down onto a twin track linear feeder that carries them to a pneumatic insertion unit that gates, guide and presses the caps into the tubes. CAP CHECK
A pair of photo electric eyes check that the caps had been loaded and stop the machine after three consecutive failures. CAP TIGHTENING
A pair of Gap Coder pneumatic cap tightening heads screw the caps whilst the tubes are clamped. The speed and torque of the tightening are easily adjustable. EJECTION
A pneumatic unit ejects the finished mascara down a chute. All the unfinished or faulty tubes are separately ejected down a scrap diute. MAIN FRAME
Heavy duty Flexlink aluminium frame with 20mm thick aluminium top plate with stainless steel panels and access doors. The top is enclosed by a Flexlink frame with 12mm thick clear perspex panels and access doors. CONTROL SYSTEM
The machine is controlled by a Mitsubishi AIS type P.L.C with a F940 colour touch screen that shows output rate, total count, switch on and off functions and display operation faults. The P.L.C. is mounted behind an access door on the main frame with banks of input sensor connections and output solonoid valves on either side of it. PNEUMATICS
All the pneumatics with the exception of the mascara pump main cylinder are SMC. The controls valves are 5Y6120-5LOU OR 5Y20-5LOU manifold mounted types. EXTRAS LABELLING
The bottoms of the tubes are labelled by two Herma 300 SK8 pick and place labelling systems with height adjustment. The units are mounted on two axis tables and the tubes would be gated over pick and place heads. Each labeller is fitted with an Allen 40/25D hot foil coder to 8 digit print onto the labels.
