Palm Oil Filling Machine: The Selection Guide

Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil and the filling machine selection is similar to that of edible oil filling machines. VKPAK recommends the use of piston filling machines (for bottles under 5 liters) or net weight filling machines (for bottles over 5L).

When you are bottling palm oil there are several types of filling machines you may choose.

VKPAK designs and builds filling machines and packaging equipment for palm oil.

Our palm oil bottle filling machines are designed to meet the changing needs of the palm oil industry. We manufacture the ideal machinery to handle your palm oil filling needs and meet your production goals.

Brief introduction of palm oil

Palm oil is s an edible vegetable oil that comes from the fruit of oil palm trees, the scientific name is Elaeis guineensis. Two types of oil can be produced; crude palm oil comes from squeezing the fleshy fruit, and palm kernel oil which comes from crushing the kernel, or the stone in the middle of the fruit. Oil palm trees are native to Africa but were brought to South-East Asia just over 100 years ago as an ornamental tree crop. Now, Indonesia and Malaysia make up over 85% of global supply but there are 42 other countries that also produce palm oil.

Palm oil is an extremely versatile oil that has many different properties and functions that makes it so useful and so widely used. It is semi-solid at room temperature so can keep spreads spreadable; it is resistant to oxidation so can give products a longer shelf-life; it’s stable at high temperatures so helps to give fried products a crispy and crunchy texture; and it’s also odourless and colourless so doesn’t alter the look or smell of food products.

Palm oil filling machine selection

Usually palm oil is packaged in plastic bottles.

Palm oil is a liquid with some fluidity at room temperature and VKPAK recommends the use of servo-piston filling machines.

This palm oil servo-piston filling machine is applied for filling oil such as edible oil, olive oil, soybean oil etc. It is able to integrate to other matched machine in botting line, fully complete and intelligence control advantage. The whole machine adopts electromechanical integration design, adopts high-quality electrical components such as PLC, photoelectric opening, touch screen and high-quality stainless steel and plastic fittings. The product quality is excellent, the system is easy to operate and adjust, the human-machine interface is friendly, and advanced automatic control technology is utilized. Achieve higher precision quantitative filling.

For containers over 5 liters, VKPAK recommends the use of a net weight filling machine.

Net weight filling machines from VKPAK, as the name suggests, work on the principle of filling each container to a pre-set weight. Using a scale for each container to be filled and a PLC with touchscreen interface to create set points for the fill. Net weight fillers are ideal for highly accurate fills when a product is sold and labeled by weight.

The automatic net weight filler manufactured by VKPAK provides an accurate weight based fill for a variety of products both thick and thin. This filling machine is manufactured to work along with other automated packaging machines to create a complete, inline packaging system, though the machine can also work as stand alone equipment. Using a single scale for each container to be filled, this machine is ideal for packagers who sell and label product based on weight.

Install A Complete Palm Oil Filling Machine System

After the liquid filling process is completed, you can utilize a system of cappers to place liquid-tight and airtight caps to keep palm oil free of contaminants and avoid leakage, and labelers to apply custom-printed product labels that effectively display your brand and nutritional information.

Palm Oil Capping Machines

Palm oil bottle capping machine, usually choose the following equipment, the specific machine selection needs to be based on the shape of the cap, size, capping method to decide.

Palm Oil Labeling Machines

Palm oil bottle 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.

Design A Custom Production Line

VKPAK allows customers to design custom liquid packaging configurations that adhere to the demands of their specific application. Facilities with particularly limited space can still benefit from a complete packaging machine that's shaped to fit within tighter confines, with the same level of quality as larger production lines. You can utilize a production line with custom equipment that keeps your liquid packaging operations in-line with your business's standards for quality.
