Paint Filling Machine

Paint is any pigmented liquid, liquefiable, or solid mastic composition that, after application to a substrate in a thin layer, converts to a solid film. It is most commonly used to protect, color, or provide texture to objects. Paint can be made or purchased in many colors—and in many different types, such as watercolor or synthetic. Paint is typically stored, sold, and applied as a liquid, but most types dry into a solid. Most paints are either oil-based or water-based and each have distinct characteristics. For one, it is illegal in most municipalities to discard oil-based paint down household drains or sewers. Clean up solvents are also different for water-based paint than they are for oil-based paint. Water-based paints and oil-based paints will cure differently based on the outside ambient temperature of the object being painted (such as a house.) Usually the object being painted must be over 10 °C (50 °F), although some manufacturers of external paints/primers claim they can be applied when temperatures are as low as 2 °C (35 °F).[From Wiki]

Paints can be broadly divided into two parts, those for industrial use and those for art. Most of the paints used in industry are packed in pails or metal cans, while most of the paints used in art are packed in plastic bottles.

Like in many other industries, paint products require the appropriate liquid filling machines to help properly fill product into cans and other containers. Because paints are highly viscous, they need liquid fillers and other packaging machinery that are designed to handle these products.

Using Paint Filling Machines to Increase Efficiency and Profitability

Liquid fillers are integral to liquid packaging lines, with automated models capable of maximizing efficiency. Without this equipment, the filling process wouldn’t be reliable enough to ensure that no product loss occurs because of inaccurate fill levels.

Technological developments that are creating more automation and computerizing many of the components in filling machines have made them more dependable than ever before, with many of the best models designed to allow for full customization and user friendliness.

Types of Liquid Fillers

Paint and other similar types of liquids are designed to cling to surfaces, and as a result, are highly viscous. Their thickness makes it necessary to use liquid fillers and other packaging machines that are designed to handle and efficiently package these products while resisting their effects. The use of appropriate liquid filling machines will prevent build up and other types of compromises during the packaging process.

Facilities will want to utilize machines that are specifically intended for the filling of products such as indoor paint, exterior paint, paint thinners, printing ink, adhesives, lacquer, solvents and cleaning chemicals.

Weigh Filling Machine

One type of liquid filler that can meet the needs of the paint and coatings industry is the net weigh filling machine. Designed to handle products of low to high viscosity, net weigh fillers are ideal for filling liquids in bulk quantities, such as 5-gallon pails, with consistent weight levels for each container.

Net weigh fillers work by using independently timed valves with custom programming through the filler’s computer. They can then fill precise amounts of liquid by gravity into containers, stopping once the liquid reaches the specified weight.

These fillers can fill many different types and sizes of containers, with many of the top models capable of lasting for many years.

Rotary Lobe Pump Filling Machine

Many pump filling machines are also designed to handle liquid products of varying viscosities, including many thicker liquids. Like net weigh fillers, they can also fill containers of many different size and shape specifications, making them ideal for bulk quantities of paint and coating products.

Contemporary pump fillers typically feature an easily programmable computer that allows for custom fill settings, helping ensure that each container receives the same amount of liquid to prevent product loss.

Volumetric Piston Filling Machine

Another type of liquid filler that paint and coating products can benefit from is a volumetric piston filler, which is great for thick products. Using a customized piston filler, liquid packaging lines can keep the filling process consistently efficient.

You can speak with a packaging expert to determine which type of machinery is ideal for your application, depending on the type of production line you need this equipment for.

Safety Measures in the Paint Packaging Process

Most paint products are highly flammable liquids, requiring filling equipment and processes that prevent combustion, along with proper sealing techniques and reliable materials that will prevent leakage and present a potential fire hazard.

Liquid paints can include a variety of products, including paint, lacquer, stain, varnish, enamel, liquid filler, liquid lacquer base and shellac solutions. Other paint-related materials could include paint thinners, dryers, removers or reduction compounds. All of these and other flammable liquids will require packaging machines (including fillers) that can safely handle these products.

Many solvent-based paint products are also highly toxic and can present a health hazard due to fumes, which packaging systems can prevent with sufficient sealing materials and equipment.

Packaging machines for paints should ultimately keep the entire process safe while properly packaging all products to prepare them for transportation and a long shelf life.

One of the best ways to determine the types of safety hazards that paint products pose is to review the supplier’s Safety Data Sheet. Suppliers can also provide additional details about chemical properties and potential hazards.

Once containers are filled with product, they require caps to prevent spillage and contamination. Capping machines can effectively cover bottles and containers of many types, meeting the specific size and shape specifications of each product. Depending on the type of cap, you may want to use an automatic vertical wheel plugger, chuck capper, snap capper or spindle capper.

Cappers can also come with certain accessories to further improve efficiency, including cap elevators, sorters and pre-feeders.

Labeling machines can apply labels of varying materials to each container, including clear, Mylar or paper labels. Labeling machines are also customizable in most cases to fit many different types of containers with labels displaying custom text, logos and images prior to shipping.

Paint labeling machine, usually choose the following equipment, the specific machine selection needs to be based on the shape of the container, the size of the container, label size to decide.
