Achieving Your Goals with Adelphi: The Recommended Equipment for Your Project

Filling Automation >>> Capping Automation >>>

The specific features to benefit your application…

Versatile Filling Programmes
Production Benefit: Waste Reduction!

The ԹMasterfil machine portfolio includes an array of filling options, and our team will advise the best choice to suit your product. For example, we typically recommend a ‘rise-while-fill’ functionality for chemical manufacturers, as it minimises frothing, overspill and waste in these potentially foamy, water-based products; or into-neck for non-foaming products for faster fill cycles. All fill programmes are saved via a digital interface for faster line changeovers.

Drive System
Production Benefit: Reduced Environmental Impact!

ԹMasterfil will work with you and offer a line solution that fits with your line environment and existing site services. Our filling lines are can be specified with pneumatics or with a servo drive system. Servo drive systems operate on an electrical motor and belt drive system, which has the benefits of both being quieter, and can have lower environmental impact as it uses less compressed air to power it.

Flushing, Cleaning and Changing Filler
Production Benefit: Save Time and Therefore Money!

Our filling and capping machine range all include quick product and container changeovercapability, which minimises costly production downtime. The nozzles can also be changed over if a different fill method is required.

When it comes to chemical filling machines, the cleaning process in between products is straightforward, consisting of a flush of the machine, and then a run through with clean warm water.

For lubricant and other oil fillers, which must be flushed with flushing oil, our machines are fitted with a Sump Pump. This acts as a reservoir, which collects the flushing for re-use.

Label Application
Production Benefit: Reduce Re-Handling and Quality Rejects!

We place the labelling machine at different parts of our complete lines depending on what your lines are filing. If the machine is filling up a lubricant based product, we typically place the labelling machine before filling the container this is due the natural oil mist in the air when filling up lubricant products. This enables the labels to hold to the containers. For chemical water-based filling we would generally place the labelling after the capping.

Temperature Compensation
Production Benefit: Increased filling accuracy, for greater profitability potential!

When supplying complete packaging lines for lubricant products, we use temperature compensation to adjust the fill volume or weight, to account for any changes in the oil density which can be caused by temperature fluctuations. Since liquids like oil expand when heated and contract when cooled, their volume can change significantly with temperature, resulting in potentially inaccurate filling with either over or under-filling.

 

What are YOUR KPIs?

If your overall business objective is to increase line profitability by 10% within the year, you could set specific production targets like:

  • Reduce production costs by 8% through lean manufacturing and efficient line operation.
  • Improve yield by 5% by minimizing defects and increasing acceptable product throughput.
  • Increase output by 12% to meet rising demand without raising fixed costs.
  • Reduce lead time by 20% to allow quicker sales response, supporting the profitability target by reducing time-to-market & inventory holding costs.

Each of these targets ensures that your production team is working toward the company’s profitability goal by optimising efficiency, reducing waste, and increasing throughput.

At ԹMasterfil we pride ourselves on having machinery and complete line solutions that can directly support you to achieve your production and business KPIs. Our engineer-to-engineer approach and turnkey project management from our dedicated team, delivers a personal approach with global scale expertise, to help you get your filling line right for production.

The history of dates back to the 1950s. It is a triennial trade fair for the packaging and processing industry, held in Düsseldorf, Germany.

interpack2023

The first Interpack exhibition was held in 1958, with the aim of bringing together companies from the packaging industry to showcase their latest products and technologies. The show was organized by Messe Düsseldorf, the company that still manages the event today.

In its early years, Interpack focused primarily on the food packaging industry, which was rapidly growing in post-war Europe. Over time, however, the exhibition expanded to include all types of packaging, from cosmetics and pharmaceuticals to industrial and consumer goods.

In the 1990s, Interpack embraced new digital technologies, such as computer-aided design and production, and began to feature more environmentally friendly packaging options. Continuing the innovation emphasis soon turned towards sustainable packaging and the use of automation and robotics in packaging and processing.

Since those early years, the Interpack trade show has become more specialised, dedicating halls to specific packaging materials and machinery. This year’s expo includes areas devoted to machinery and processes ‘for the packaging of confectionery and bakery’ and ‘labelling and marking technologies’. There were almost 3,000 exhibitors, and more than 170,000 visitors, from 160 countries.

Today, Interpack is one of the largest and most valuable exhibitions for the packaging and processing industry, attracting exhibitors and attendees from around the world. It continues to be held every three years in Düsseldorf, Germany and is a major platform for showcasing the latest trends and technologies in packaging and processing.

When done well, online shopping offers quick and painless transactions, with limited human interaction (itself a positive or a negative depending on the individual).

Over the past decade we’ve seen the high street gradually lose footfall to online buying platforms. According to the 2019 report by Womble Bond Dickenson, over 53% of all purchases will be made online by 2029.

B2B sellers are following hot on the heels of this trend. We are seeing a massive shift towards e-commerce solutions for business-to-business organizations, accelerated in no small way by the COVID 19 pandemic which saw businesses embracing digital like never before.

B2B E-Commerce Stats from 2022

In their 2022 survey of dozens of US B2B e-commerce leaders, e-commerce software provider, , found 64% of respondents prefer digital B2B channels over a traditional shopping experience, whilst 76% of respondents signal that B2B e-commerce businesses will increase technology investments next year

found that nearly two-thirds of B2B companies are now set up for complete online transactions, and that e-commerce and in-person sales have already tied as top revenue-producing channels, as ecommerce’s rapid rise has overtaken other channels such as phone sales.

 

Benefits of E-Commerce in a B2B Setting

With businesses focused on gaining a greater understanding of the customer experience, it is clear that alternative buying options have a lasting place in the future of B2B sales.

Online shops provide businesses with the opportunity to strengthen relationships with their existing customers, by offering them a choice in how they interact with the company. Some buyers may value a discussion about the perfect product for their needs, while others know exactly what they want, and will welcome the convenience of completing a quick online transaction.

For those with a global customer base, 24 hour purchasing opportunities, mean differing time zones need not slow down the procurement process, while self-service options assist these customers to find all the answers they need online.

Importantly, robust integration with other technologies such as CRM and ERP systems, will help businesses to better understand and anticipate their customers’ needs, and to maintain that personal relationship through relevant and timely communications. Getting the integration running smoothly is likely the biggest challenge businesses will encounter in their e-commerce journey, but get it right and they can expect happier customers, improved retention and greater revenue.

Trevor Pimm, filling expert and International Sales Manager at ԹMasterfil, addresses the biggest challenges faced by manufacturers, and solves the most frequent questions being asked…

 

ԹMasterfil S5000-S Semi Automatic Filling Machine for Chemicals Food Skincare

Challenge #1: Premises of all sizes need to make the most of their available space, to maximise revenue potential.

Your Key Question: How can I achieve the greatest possible output from the smallest possible area?

Trevor’s Recommendation: High output no longer has to mean high space sacrifice on your production floor. In the same way as we saw with mobile phone technology in the 2000’s, filling technology has increased in sophistication whilst decreasing in size! A great example of this is the S5000-S semi-automatic filling machine by ԹMasterfil, which enables an output of up to 5,760 containers per 8 hour shift, from a compact footprint measuring just 1.8m x 0.7m.

This is made possible by features designed to facilitate immediate start-up (self-pumping and self-priming to name just two), a twin head option (pictured), as well as customisation options including double acting product cylinders, a discreet hand-capping station and an optional remote nozzle for filling containers on pallets.

Greater profitability is also ensured by the superior filling accuracy (just ±0.2% compared to the industry average of ±1%), which reduces the cost implications from product waste.

As experienced suppliers, ԹMasterfil are also be able to offer bespoke line configuration design, to precisely tailor your space and make sure that no profitable areas are under-utilised.

 

ԹMasterfil S5000-S Semi Automatic Filling Machine for Chemicals Food Skincare

Challenge #2: Many manufacturers are filling a large number of products – with varying viscosities and other characteristics – into many different container types.

Your Key Question: Is there a machine option available in the marketplace which can fill all of my products, from low to high viscosity, and container sizes, from small to large?

Trevor’s Recommendation: Manufacturers filling a range of product viscosities and container types have previously needed multiple machines to satisfy all the different requirements of their range. But no longer!

Look for machines which offer different filling styles to suit different product characteristics, such as rise-while-filling, which can increase throughput potential of products which are prone to foaming. 316L stainless steel wetted parts are another ideal feature, especially if one or more of your products contains challenging ingredients such as chlorides.

Shut-off nozzles are also a great element to be aware of, particularly for products in your range which may be liable to dripping or stringing.

If you are having difficulty filling into a specific container style (for example, a recent customer needed a way to hold the neck of their flexible container still during filling), I recommend asking about custom neck locators. These small additions can entirely remove the need for an extra operative, and enable even non-standard containers from your range to be filled on the same machine.

In terms of container sizes, ԹMasterfil’s highly regarded S5000-S semi-automatic filler can suit an extremely large range of fill volumes, from 50ml up to 30L (with multi-shot functionality).

 


ԹMasterfil S5000-S Semi Automatic Filling Machine for Chemicals Food Skincare

Challenge #3: There are a vast array of filling machinery suppliers worldwide, and customers need to make sure they are working with the best of the best, to secure a competitive advantage for their business.

Your Key Question: Which key factors should I be looking for when investigating the credentials of a supplier, to ensure complete investment security?

Trevor’s Recommendation: The most valuable resources for businesses looking at new filling machinery are recommendations from existing users. There are now a wealth of digital resources available at your fingertips, to connect you with existing customers and support your purchasing decision. Case studies, word of mouth recommendations and reviews are among the most telling assets which you can ask suppliers to provide. Many suppliers will also offer you the opportunity to see a machine first-hand, in another customer’s factory, as part of their quotation assurance process – this represents the gold standard!

I would also strongly advise businesses to ask about a prospective supplier’s in-person and remote support services before committing to making a purchase, as this support will be invaluable – this has been especially brought to light in the past two years, thanks to the months of lockdowns and other social restrictions faced by businesses around the world.

Finally, I would urge you to invest wisely – avoid purchasing the cheapest machinery on the market, as this can often turn out to be false economy in the long run. The longer your machine is operational, the greater return on investment you will generate. I am extremely proud to say that many Թmachines are still fully operational over 30 years after purchase!

 

 

I would be delighted to discuss the above in more detail, or to offer my support for any further operational and productivity improvement challenges you may be facing:

Keepingyour machinerythoroughly maintained is one of the mostimportantinvestments in modern industry. An effective maintenance program plays an important role in Lean Manufacturing, and regularly scheduled servicing is pivotal in terms of reducing waste and running efficient, continuous production.

Timely servicing identifies and resolves faults during amaintenanceschedule, and not in the middle of production. The cost of regular maintenance is minimal when compared to the cost of a major breakdown which halts your operations entirely.

Adelphi’s experienced After-Sales Department offers cost-effective worldwide servicing options; from Europe to Africa, America to Asia, Covid-19 hasn’t prevented us from resolving issues and revitalising production for our customers across the globe. Indeed, within the UK, companies have been taking advantage of the lockdown to send their machines back to Թfor maintenance!

Internationally, Adelphi’s remote support solutions have proven invaluable. In light of the risks surrounding Covid-19, Թhave developed new digital procedures to keep our customers’ production progressing, including telephone and video diagnosis using Microsoft Teams.
