Yogurt cup filling semi automatic machine

Semi-Automatic Yogurt Cup Filling Machine (Rotary Type)

This type of machine usually operates on a Rotary Table or a single-track, step-by-step process.1

Technical Specifications :

The specifications below are typical for a standard commercial semi-automatic unit:

Specification Typical Value Range Key Notes
Production Capacity 500 to 1,000 Cups per Hour (CPH) Highly dependent on operator speed and cup volume. Not suitable for large-scale continuous lines.
Filling Range (Volume) 50 ml to 500 ml Most machines handle wide ranges; requires change parts (rings/nozzles) for different cup diameters.
Dosing System Volumetric Piston Filler or Timed Pump Piston fillers offer high accuracy (±1% to 2%) and are excellent for viscous products like yogurt.
Machine Type Rotary Table or Single-Head Linear Rotary type is common, where the operator manually indexes (turns) the table.
Material of Construction SS 304 or SS 316 (Product contact parts) Ensures hygiene and resistance to acidic dairy products and cleaning chemicals.
Power Consumption 0.5 kW to 1.5 kW Low power demand; often runs on single-phase supply (220V/50Hz).
Air Pressure Requirement 6 to 8 Bar Required for pneumatic cylinders used in sealing and sometimes filling operations.

Operational Process (Semi-Automatic Steps) :

The key defining feature is the blend of manual and automated tasks:

Step Operation Mode Description
1. Cup Feeding Manual (Operator) The operator places empty, pre-formed plastic cups (e.g., PP, PS) into the machine's mold/pocket.
2. Filling Automatic The rotary table is indexed (manually or by foot switch) to the filling station. The machine accurately dispenses the pre-set volume of yogurt.
3. Foil Placement Manual (Operator) The operator takes a pre-cut foil/lidding film and places it onto the filled cup.
4. Sealing Automatic The machine indexes to the sealing station. The sealing head applies heat and pressure for a precise time to fuse the foil to the cup rim.
5. Ejection/Discharge Manual or Semi-Automatic The operator removes the finished, sealed cup, or the machine uses a pneumatic pusher to discharge it onto a small table.

Key Features and Optional Attachments :

Feature Category Feature / Attachment Importance
Hygienic Control SS Product Hopper (with jacket/agitator) Stores the yogurt before filling; agitation prevents separation. Jacketing allows chilling to maintain product temperature.
Quality Control 'No Cup - No Fill' Sensor Basic safety mechanism; prevents yogurt from spilling if a cup is missing in the pocket.
Temperature Control Digital Temperature Controller Controls the heat applied to the sealing head, ensuring a secure and consistent seal without melting the cup.
Product Customization Dual Head / Two-Stage Filling (Optional) Allows filling fruit preparation first, followed by plain yogurt, ideal for fruit-on-the-bottom style yogurt.
Traceability Date/Batch Coding (Optional) A manual or automatic stamp (often hot-foil) applied during or after the sealing process.
Portability Caster Wheels Common feature for small units, allowing easy movement for cleaning and re-positioning.
Summary of Benefits :

This machine type is ideal for:

Low Initial Investment: Significantly cheaper than fully automatic lines
Flexibility: Easily handles multiple cup sizes with simple changeovers.
Space Saving: Compact size, requires minimal floor space.2
Start-ups/Pilot Runs: Perfect for new businesses or for testing a product before scaling up.

Would you like to know more about the changeover process for different cup sizes, or perhaps the typical utility installation requirements (like the air compressor needed)?
