ZHGP-30 Automatic Spray Bottle Filling and Capping Machine

The ZHGP-30 Automatic Spray Bottle Filling and Capping Machine is designed for filling liquid products into compatible spray bottles and completing the associated spray-pump or cap placement and capping processes.

The published filling range is 15–150 ml. Final compatibility depends on the bottle dimensions, neck finish, spray-pump construction, dip-tube length, cap style, liquid properties, and required production output.

The machine uses a PLC-controlled production process and can be configured around the customer’s packaging components. Depending on the ordered line configuration, bottle feeding, labeling, and coding equipment may also be integrated.

Integrated Spray Bottle Packaging Process

Bottle Infeed

Empty bottles enter the machine through the configured feeding and conveying system. Bottle guides, holders, or positioning components keep each container aligned as it moves between operating stations.

A bottle unscrambler may be connected where bulk automatic bottle feeding is required. Whether this equipment is included should be confirmed in the final machine configuration.

Controlled Liquid Filling

Bottles are positioned below the filling nozzles before the measured liquid is dispensed. The filling volume and operating speed are adjusted through the control system according to the selected container and product.

The correct filling method must be selected around the liquid’s viscosity, foaming tendency, chemical compatibility, and required accuracy.

Spray-Pump or Cap Placement

After filling, the applicable spray pump, actuator, or closure is placed onto the bottle. The feeding and placement system must match the actual closure geometry.

Spray-pump components should be tested because actuator shape, collar diameter, dip-tube length, and orientation can affect automatic feeding and insertion.

Capping

The capping station secures the closure using tooling matched to the supplied spray pump or cap.

Capping pressure, height, speed, and torque should be adjusted during commissioning. Excessive force can deform the closure or damage the bottle neck, while insufficient force may produce loose caps or leakage.

Finished-Bottle Discharge

Completed bottles are discharged to the next operation. Depending on the production line, this may include labeling, coding, inspection, cartoning, or accumulation.

Liquid Filling Control

15–150 ml Filling Range

The published applicable range is 15–150 ml. This range covers many small and medium spray-bottle formats used for cosmetic, personal-care, household, and compatible liquid products.

Filling range alone does not confirm machine suitability. Bottle stability, neck dimensions, liquid behavior, and closure design must also be evaluated.

Filling Accuracy

The published filling accuracy is within ±1 ml. Actual results should be confirmed using the intended liquid, filling volume, operating speed, and production environment.

For small fill volumes, an absolute tolerance of ±1 ml may represent a significant percentage of the total dose. Customers with tighter requirements should provide their permitted tolerance before the machine is configured.

Liquid Compatibility

The ZHGP-30 can be evaluated for free-flowing sprayable liquids such as:

• Facial mist

• Hair-care spray

• Body spray

• Air freshener

• Non-aerosol disinfectant spray

• Household cleaning spray

• Fabric spray

• Compatible fragrance products

• Other low-viscosity sprayable liquids

Products containing suspended particles, abrasive ingredients, aggressive solvents, high alcohol concentrations, or corrosive chemicals require a separate material-compatibility review.

The machine is not automatically suitable for pressurized aerosol filling.

Filling-System Selection

The original product information does not specify the standard pump or metering method. Depending on the product, suitable systems may include peristaltic, piston, ceramic, or other metering technologies.

The final filling system should be selected after reviewing:

• Liquid viscosity

• Foaming tendency

• Fill volume

• Required accuracy

• Cleaning method

• Product-contact material

• Production speed

• Cross-contamination requirements

Spray Pump and Cap Handling

Closure Matching

Spray pumps vary considerably in actuator shape, collar diameter, thread design, dip-tube length, and feeding behavior. Closure tooling should therefore be designed around actual customer samples rather than nominal cap diameter alone.

Before production, confirm:

• Bottle neck diameter

• Neck finish and thread

• Pump collar dimensions

• Actuator shape

• Dip-tube length

• Cap material

• Required tightening method

• Permitted application torque

Dip-Tube Control

Long or curved dip tubes can interfere with automatic insertion. The feeding mechanism must guide the tube into the bottle without bending, trapping, or damaging it.

Customers should supply representative pumps with the final production dip-tube length for machine testing.

Capping Stability

The page publishes a capping rate of at least 99%. This result depends on stable closure feeding, consistent bottle dimensions, correct tooling, suitable torque, and properly manufactured packaging components.

A sample run is recommended to verify cap engagement, pump orientation, leakage, and finished-bottle appearance.

Different Closure Types

The machine may be configured for compatible screw-on spray pumps or caps. Press-on, crimped, snap-fit, tamper-evident, or unusually shaped closures may require different equipment or additional stations.

Closure type must be confirmed before the capping system is selected.

Bottle and Format Changeover

The ZHGP-30 can be configured for different compatible spray-bottle formats within its applicable range. Changeover may involve adjusting or replacing:

• Conveyor guides

• Bottle holders

• Filling-nozzle height

• Pump-placement tooling

• Closure-feeding components

• Capping heads

• Labeling parameters

• Sensors and bottle-position settings

Using several bottle formats on one machine is possible only when their dimensions and closure structures fall within the machine’s designed adjustment range.

Customers planning frequent changeovers should provide every intended bottle, pump, and cap combination during project evaluation.

Labeling and Coding Integration

The original product page describes vertical labeling and thermal coding functions. These functions should be confirmed as standard, integrated, or optional equipment when ordering.

Labeling

A labeling unit can be configured for compatible self-adhesive labels. Label dimensions, bottle shape, label position, and required application accuracy must be supplied before selection.

Stable label application depends on a sufficiently consistent bottle surface. Highly tapered, flexible, oval, or irregular containers may require special positioning.

Coding

Coding equipment may be added for information such as:

• Batch number

• Production date

• Expiration date

• Product code

• Traceability information

The suitable coding method depends on the bottle or label material, print position, line speed, and required print durability.

Control and Operation

PLC and Touch-Screen Control

The ZHGP-30 uses PLC-based control with a touch-screen interface for managing the coordinated production process.

Applicable settings may include:

• Filling volume

• Filling delay

• Conveyor speed

• Bottle positioning

• Pump-placement timing

• Capping timing

• Operating speed

• Fault reset

• Manual testing of individual stations

The available interface language, recipe storage, alarm records, and access-control functions should be confirmed for the ordered configuration.

Adjustable Production Settings

Machine settings can be adjusted around the bottle, liquid, spray pump, and required output. Production speed should be established through sample testing rather than determined from bottle volume alone.

Sensors and Interlocks

Bottle and component sensors help coordinate filling and capping operations. Functions such as no-bottle-no-fill, missing-pump detection, cap detection, and discharge monitoring should be confirmed in the technical specification.

Safety guards, emergency stops, electrical protection, and machine interlocks must be checked before operation.

Applications

Cosmetic and Personal-Care Sprays

The machine can be configured for facial mist, toner spray, body spray, hair-care products, and other compatible personal-care liquids.

Product-contact materials should be reviewed for formulas containing alcohol, fragrance oils, active ingredients, or solvents.

Household Cleaning Sprays

Compatible household cleaners, surface sprays, fabric sprays, and deodorizing products may be filled when the formula is suitable for the selected metering system and contact materials.

Corrosive or strongly oxidizing products require a separate assessment.

Disinfectant Spray Products

The ZHGP-30 may be evaluated for compatible non-aerosol disinfectant liquids. Flammable alcohol-based formulations require additional electrical, ventilation, and explosion-risk assessment.

Air Fresheners

Free-flowing air-freshener liquids can be filled into compatible pump-spray bottles. Fragrance formulas should be checked for seal, hose, gasket, and pump compatibility.

Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Packaging

The machine may handle certain spray-bottle formats used for healthcare products, but this does not by itself establish sterile, aseptic, GMP, or pharmaceutical regulatory compliance.

The customer remains responsible for defining the required cleanroom, validation, documentation, material, and regulatory conditions.

Production-Line Configuration

The ZHGP-30 may be combined with upstream and downstream equipment according to the required level of automation.

Possible equipment includes:

• Automatic bottle unscrambler

• Bottle infeed table

• Spray-pump or cap feeder

• Labeling machine

• Date or batch coder

• Vision inspection

• Reject mechanism

• Cartoning machine

• Case packing equipment

• Finished-product collection table

Line controls, conveyor height, communication signals, operating speed, and product accumulation should be coordinated during engineering.
