Abstract

Filling is an important process of the automatic machine and is used in different industry such as mineral water, beverage, chemical, food and dairy as well as pharmaceuticals. In today's manufacturing environment, with the need for higher production rates, better product quality and less manual effort, industrial automation is becoming a key requirement. The primary goal of this project is to design, develop and control an automatic bottle filling and capping system using Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). The aim of this system was to determine the accuracy and efficiency of the automation of detection, filling and capping of bottles with more precision. Prototype model has been fabricated to verify the working principle of system in a controlled environment. The PLC is the master controller and controls all the operations as programmed in the ladder logic. The conveyor belt is powered by a DC motor, which ensures a smooth and efficient movement of the bottles between the different loading stations. The proximity sensors are able to locate the position and presence of the bottles in order to fill and cap them exactly, thus minimizing waste. The PLC's are programmed using one of the most common and easy to use industrial automation programming languages, that is, the ladder logic. The developed system has the following advantages: low power consumption, low operating cost, low maintenance, high reliability, repeatability and high production efficiency. The prototype is also an excellent learning and training instrument to better understand the concepts of PLC based automation system and its application in bottle filling and bottle capping process.
