Reference Project — Sample Configuration
Full-Auto Production Line
Production Scale · 2,000 cph · Fully Automatic
Target Customer
Growing manufacturers ready to scale from semi-automatic to full automation. Ideal for companies with consistent product runs exceeding 10,000 cans per day, or exporters requiring documented production traceability.
Equipment Configuration
| Model | Equipment | Why This Choice |
|---|---|---|
| FD9801 | Full-Auto 1-Inch Line (Entry Level) | Complete conveyor-based system: can unscrambler, 2-head liquid filler, sealing machine, 2-head gas filler with 2 booster pumps, explosion-proof motor, packing table. |
| FD9951 | Automatic Valve Inserter | Rotary disc selects and orients aluminum valves, pneumatic delivery to insertion station. |
| FD9955 | Automatic Hot Water Bath | In-line leak testing with suspended chain conveyor. Explosion-proof drive. |
| FD9954 | Automatic Checkweigher | Per-can weighing. Siemens + Festo. Digital per-shift production statistics. |
| FD9958 | Gripper Conveyor + Inkjet Coder | Dual-belt synchronized gripper transport. No can rotation — stable coding. Explosion-proof motor. |
| FD9956 | Automatic Actuator Placer | Vibrating hopper + pneumatic press. Synchronized with line speed. |
| FD9957 | Automatic Cap Placer | PLC-controlled sorting and pressing. Low noise operation. |
Production Process
| 1. Can Unscrambling | Automatic unscrambler orients and feeds empty cans onto conveyor |
| 2. Liquid Filling | 2-head automatic filler dispenses concentrate into cans passing on conveyor — synchronized timing |
| 3. Valve Insertion | FD9951 automatically places aluminum valves into filled cans |
| 4. Valve Sealing | Automatic sealing station crimps valves as cans pass through |
| 5. Propellant Gassing | 2-head gas filler with dedicated booster pumps injects propellant. Separate gas room for safety. |
| 6. Hot Water Bath | FD9955 in-line water bath: cans travel through 55-65°C water on suspended chain. Visual leak inspection through windows. |
| 7. Checkweighing | FD9954 weighs each can. Rejects auto-separated. Per-shift statistics logged. |
| 8. Coding | FD9958 gripper conveyor transports cans to inkjet coder — no can rotation, clean print |
| 9. Actuator + Cap | FD9956 places spray head, FD9957 places overcap — both synchronized automatically |
| 10. Packaging | Carton packing and palletizing station |
Estimated Budget
| FD9801 Core Line | $80,000 – $110,000 |
| Auxiliary Equipment Package | $25,000 – $40,000 |
| Installation & Commissioning | $8,000 – $15,000 |
| Remote Support (available) | $5,000 – $10,000 |
| Total Investment | $118,000 – $175,000 |
Facility Requirements
150-250 m² total. Production line: ~100 m². Dedicated gas room: ~15 m². Raw materials: ~40 m². QC lab: ~20 m². Finished goods: ~40 m². 3-phase power required. Compressed air system: 10+ bar.
Operators: 2-3 workers for line operation + 1 QC inspector + material handlers. Total: 4-6 staff.
💡 Why This Configuration
This is the natural upgrade path from semi-automatic. The FD9801 line produces 15,000-20,000 cans per 8-hour shift — roughly 3x what a semi-auto setup achieves with the same labor. The full auxiliary equipment package (valve inserter, water bath, checkweigher, coders, placers) makes this a turnkey production solution.
