Design and Manufacturing of an Automated Bottle Filling & Capping Machine Prototype

Abstract

The Automation of business operations is no longer simply a luxury for larger companies; it is quickly becoming a vital requirement for companies of all sizes to ensure their sustained success. Automation is a method that entails carrying out a process using pre-programmed orders and automatic feedback control to verify that the instructions are carried out correctly. Manufacturing automation is regarded as a critical technology for increasing the quality and quantity of manufactured goods. Moreover, the rapid, reliable, and precise production flow helps to decrease production times, manufacturing costs, and labor costs, as well as human errors, maintaining consistency and quality of product. Although the similar production lines are imported from abroad, which leads to a rise in their prices in the market, but this project is trying to break the rule and provide a locally made product at the lowest possible cost. The aim of this project is to design and Manufacture an Automated Water Bottle Filling & Capping Machine Prototype. Empty bottles are pushed towards the filling head by a conveyor that runs the length of the assembly. The filling head is in charge of filling bottles with water; after that, the conveyor pushes the bottle through a circulating disc, which transports it to the capping station, where a cap is placed on the bottle, and then to the cap turning station, which is a motorized arrangement in charge of spinning and tightening the cap on bottles. The conveyor then pushes the bottle to the next step, where it is rolled down the system as a completed product
