This tracking-type sauce filling machine is custom-developed for viscous materials such as sauces and granular pickled mustard shreds. It adopts servo follow-up filling technology, where the filling nozzle moves synchronously with the bottles to complete dynamic filling without the need for machine downtime, which greatly improves production efficiency. All parts of the equipment that come into contact with materials are made of 304/316L food-grade stainless steel, complying with food production hygiene regulations. Equipped with an anti-stringing and anti-dripping filling nozzle, it completely solves the industry pain points of dripping and stringing that contaminate bottle bodies after filling high-viscosity sauces.
All material-contact components of all exhibited models are constructed from food-grade 316L stainless steel. Equipped with an intelligent PLC touch control system, they support one-click switching between multiple production formulas, reducing the changeover and commissioning time by 70% compared with traditional equipment, which perfectly meets the expansion needs of small and medium-sized sauce manufacturers and the production line upgrading demands of large enterprises.
Exclusive Safety Requirements for High-Acid Materials: Given that tomato paste has a low pH value and strong corrosiveness, all parts of the equipment that come into contact with the materials must have strong anti-corrosion capabilities. Meanwhile, the sealing process must completely isolate external contamination to prevent the paste from deteriorating, so as to meet the food hygiene standards for export-grade products.
Adaptation Requirements for Particle-Containing Materials: For tomato paste containing tomato seeds and pulp particles, the particles must not be squeezed and crushed during the conveying and filling links before can sealing, and situations such as paste overflow and can jamming must not occur in the can sealing process, so as to ensure the intactness of particles in the finished products.
