Packaging Line Project

Automatic Mango Juice Filling and Capping Line in Chiang Mai, Thailand

This mango juice bottling line was configured for a producer in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The connected 14 m line combines automatic bottle unscrambling, a 10-head tracking servo filling machine, automatic cap feeding and a double-head four-wheel capping machine.

The project test record covers 3,000 bottles in total, including a 30-minute continuous run. Reported results were a filling error of ±0.5–1.0%, no dripping, 100% capping pass rate and no leakage. After six months of use, the customer reports normal operation, simple controls and stable production.

The 3,000 bottles refer to the total project test quantity. The 30-minute value refers to one continuous running test and is not presented as the time required to fill all 3,000 bottles. Final output depends on fill volume, product properties, bottle spacing, cap handling and line settings.

Customer Requirements

What the customer needed the line to handle and achieve.

The project required a complete automatic line for pulp-free mango juice, using rectangular bottles with a 32 mm bottle opening and 35 mm HDPE screw caps.

The line needed stable bottle feeding, controlled filling without visible bubbles, automatic cap feeding, reliable four-wheel cap tightening and simple operation for daily production.

Customer Challenge and Project Goal

The production constraints that shaped the proposed solution.

Production Challenge

The customer needed a cost-effective complete line that was easy to operate and could maintain stable production.

Filling accuracy, clean nozzle cut-off, cap feeding, four-wheel tightening and finished-bottle leakage control were treated as connected acceptance points.

Required Improvement

The project needed to connect bottle feeding, filling, cap placement and tightening into one stable workflow.

Key package constraints included the rectangular bottle, 32 mm bottle opening, 35 mm cap diameter and 15 mm cap height, while filling quality required controlled cut-off, no dripping and no visible bubbles.

Why This Configuration Was Selected

How the product, package and output target influenced equipment selection.

The 10-head tracking servo filler supports continuous bottle movement and the required filling output, while automatic bottle and cap handling reduces manual work.

The double-head four-wheel capping machine matches the 35 mm screw cap and supports stable tightening.

The complete configuration gives the customer one coordinated line instead of separately matched machines.

Complete Line Configuration

The machines and functions included in the proposed packaging process.

Machine Configuration Model Production Use Project-Specific Requirement
Automatic Bottle Unscrambler Project-specific Orients and feeds empty rectangular bottles into the connected line. Configured for the supplied rectangular bottle footprint, bottle stability and line direction.
10-Head Tracking Servo Filling Machine LEKA-FLSF-10-C Fills pulp-free mango juice while the filling heads track the moving bottles. Configured for the actual product, 1 L filling reference, 3.5 kW project unit power, clean nozzle cut-off and stable bottle transfer.
Automatic Cap Feeder Project-specific Sorts and supplies 35 mm HDPE screw caps before capping. Matched to the 35 mm cap diameter, 15 mm cap height and cap orientation.
Double-Head Four-Wheel Capping Machine Project-specific Uses four-wheel tightening for 35 mm screw caps after filling. Matched to the 32 mm bottle opening, cap engagement, bottle support and required tightening result.
Connected Conveyor System Project-specific Transfers bottles through unscrambling, filling, cap feeding and capping across the 14 m line. Guide rails, conveyor height and accumulation were matched to the supplied package and factory layout.

Operation, Changeover and Site Requirements

Information used to plan cleaning, package changeover, utilities and installation.

Materials, Cleaning and Safety

The tested product was pulp-free mango juice, and no visible bubbles were reported during filling. A numerical viscosity value was not supplied, so product viscosity, filling temperature, cleaning method and food-contact requirements should be confirmed from production samples before repeating or adapting this configuration.

Changeover and Optional Equipment

Package changeover can include filling-recipe adjustment, nozzle height, bottle guide rails, cap feeder settings and capping height. Any new bottle or cap should be sample-tested before production. Coding, labeling, inspection and secondary packing can be integrated according to the finished package and factory layout.
