Filling Objective: To fill bottles with the product accurately and efficiently.

• Filling Machines: Depending on the product, Spheretech offers various types of filling machines such as gravity weight fillers, piston fillers, and pump fillers to ensure precise fill levels, minimizing wastage and ensuring consistency.
• Nozzles: Critical components controlling the product flow into bottles, customized for different product viscosities.

Capping Objective: To securely seal filled bottles with caps.

• Capping Machines: Place and secure caps onto bottles. Options include screw cappers, snap cappers, and rotary cappers, each suited for different cap types and production speeds.
• Cap Feeders: Sort and deliver caps to the capping machine, ensuring a continuous supply.

Labelling Objective: To apply labels for branding, information, and regulatory compliance.

• Labelling Machines: Apply labels to bottles with precision, ensuring correct positioning and adherence. Options include pressure-sensitive labelers, shrink sleeve labelers, and wrap-around labelers.
• Printers: Add date codes, batch numbers, and other variable information to labels or directly onto bottles.

Inspection Objective: To ensure quality and safety by detecting defects or inconsistencies.

• Vision Systems: Use cameras and software to inspect bottles for fill levels, label placement, cap placement, and other quality parameters.
• Checkweighers: Weigh each bottle to ensure it meets the specified weight range, rejecting bottles outside the acceptable range.

Case Packing Objective: To group bottles into cases for storage, transportation, and distribution.

• Case Erectors (Carton Formers): Form flat cardboard into cases and close the bottom.
• Case Packers: Place bottles into cases. Spheretech offers gantry-type and robotic case packers suitable for different speeds and configurations.
• Case Sealers: Seal cases using tape or glue to secure bottles during transit.

Palletizing Objective: To stack cases onto pallets for efficient handling and storage.

• Palletizers: Arrange cases on pallets in specified patterns. Options include robotic palletizers for flexible pattern configurations and conventional palletizers for high-speed applications.
• Pallet Wrappers: Wrap pallets with stretch film to stabilize the load and protect products during transportation.

Control Systems and Software Objective: To integrate and manage the entire production line for optimal performance.

• PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers): Control various machines and processes, ensuring synchronization and efficient operation.
• SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition): Monitor and control the production process, providing real-time data and analytics for decision-making.
• MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems): Manage and track the production process, ensuring traceability and compliance with regulations.
