As with almost any other product, making equipment to package jams, sauces, or preserves can present some unique challenges. These products often have chunks or pieces of fruit in them. Food products may have a short shelf life and must be packaged cleanly. Getting the fruit into the container for filling and keeping the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the supply tank can be challenging.
Here’s where the jam filling line comes in. Jam packaging machines effectively fill and pack jams and sauces into various container types. Let’s look at what equipment is included in a jam packaging line.
1.Cleaning Equipment
When working with food products, equipment is essential to clean containers to keep the food from getting dirty. Rinsing machines can clean dust and debris from jars and other containers before filling them. This reduces the risk of making contaminated products or shortening the shelf life of a batch. Different machines for cleaning containers can be used to rinse with clean air, water, or another cleaning solution.
2.Jam Filling Machine
Usually, jam filling machines have either a pump filler or a piston filler. These fillers work better with thicker products and products with small pieces, like seeds or chunks of fruit. Jams that are too thick to flow through a filling machine may be too thick. In these situations, the jam can often be heated to make it less thick and more liquid so it can be put through the machine. The entire path from the supply tank through the tubes down to the fill nozzles must be kept at the same temperature. In this way, products flow evenly, and the same level of reliability can be achieved over and over again.
Another difficulty filling jam products is when small particles get into the jam. These particles could be strawberry seeds or small pieces of strawberries, apricots, apples, or other foods. When the parts are filled into the filling machine, they tend to settle at the bottom of the supply tank or product supply. Thus, containers are still filled without the particles or products they should contain. Product agitators can be added to supply tanks to keep product and particulates from settling. This lets the filling machine pull both product and particulates from the tank.
3.Capping Device and Cooling Conveyors
For jams, the type of capping machine used will depend on the type of container and cap used to package the products. Once the filling part of the packaging process is done, jams are capped, labeled, and packaged with special care.
But if the fill is heated to speed up the flow of the product, it may be necessary to put a cooling conveyor between the filling and capping machine. The cooling conveyor can look like anything from a serpentine conveyor with many levels to a simple long conveyor. These conveyor systems let the product cool down before it goes to the capping machine. This ensures that the cap is put on correctly and consistently, and you don’t have to worry about the product or container getting damaged or expanding when you cap a hot product. If not, jam containers can be sealed with spindle, chuck cappers, or snap capping machines.
4.Labeling Device
Labeling equipment for jams generally won’t need any particular changes, as the capping machines did. Labeling machines can apply labels to the front, front, and back, wrapped around containers, or any other configuration required. Once again, hot products would be the sole issue. To prevent creases or the label from pulling off, containers should be chilled before attaching the label.
Jam Filling Line Benefits
If you want to buy a jam filling machine, you should look for one that fits your needs. These machines can measure out single portions of a wide range of jams. Our machines are perfect for jam packaging because they load the film onto a machine and heat it to the right temperature. Then, the film is shaped into a particular shape, and the product is put into blisters. The film is then cut into blisters and sealed.
The jam sauce filling machine is run by a PLC, an electronic optical fiber sensor, and a computer touch screen. This machine can record outputs accurately from one day to one month. It can also handle liquids that are both thin and thick. The pistons that fill the tank can move up and down, which makes the machine lighter and uses less energy. The design of the servo system lets layers be filled on the neck or on the surface. The servo system is easy to clean and meets all GMP standards.
This jam sauce bottle filler is used in food, personal care, chemical, and other industries. Because it is easy to use, it can be used to fill a wide range of products, from liquids to thick pastes. The machine’s rotor pump filler can be used for various products, from heavy sauces to skin creams. Unlike the manual fill, this machine is reliable and makes it easy to change the amount and consistency.
