4.How Nail Polish Filling Machine Works?

The working of a nail polish filling machine follows a series of steps; each step has its own value and you must observe its importance upon reading the blog. We have provided you with a general overview of the working principle that would be helpful in understanding of the working features of the nail polish filling machine. so, Get Set Go!

Container Loading	Consider an empty bottle as a prime entity that is subjected to the machine by unscrambling bottles into an upright and fully oriented manner. The conveyor brings the nail polish container into the machine where it further moves toward the next station.
Filling Station	Now bottles are moving around the rotary plate where it makes to facing toward the filling nozzle. Upon detecting the presence; it filled an accurate amount of nail color inside the bottle and send it to the next station. The nail polish is stored into the hopper which upon sending the message allows its flow toward to filling nozzles. The entire procedure is efficiently ran by a PLC unit.
Capping or Lidding	The conveyor moves and nail polish filled containers are now subjected to a capping or lidding unit where upon detecting the position a sensor notifies the machine and capping is dropped down into each available bottle. The set of grippers ensures proper fixation and twisting of the cap around the bottleneck. And that’s it.
Discharging	Bottles are now moved out of the unit for further steps such as labeling.

6.What are basic parts of nail polish filling machine?

If you see the nail polish filling machine, you might be thinking of its complexity and multi-functional structure.  But in-depth, you will be surprised to see how simple it is with amazing operability.

Let’s break down each of them and understand their function from above mentioned illustration.

Signal Light	What is the current state of the nail polish filling machine, this signal light tells you everything about it. You can call it as an indicator of machine’s health. Green signal means machine is ok to work. Yellow indicates something to inspect or anything alarming in the future; while red is something wrong such as electric problem or machine malfunctioning.
Operation Screen	As it name shows, this is a touch screen interface where you need to enter the keys relates machine operation. For example, filing speed, filling volume, number of bottles per minute, number of hours to be operated, and much more. Also, if you’re facing any technical problem, a touch screen interface can help by notification and adjusting the settings.
Rotary Plate	This is movable unit of the nail polish filling machine which is featured with holding properties of empty bottles that comes in contact with fillers and moves toward the next station for further steps. The rotary plate is moved by the help of motor driven unit controlled by a specialized unit known as a PLC so entire sequential steps are followed in a smooth manner.
Filling Nozzle	Yes, you have directly understood the exact purpose of this unit by its name. The filling nozzle of the machine is narrow and sharp designed dispenser ensuring filling of nail polish inside the empty bottle with accurate and precise manner. The opening and closing of filling nozzle are taken place by the help of automatic sensors attached to it so a maintained flow rate and minimized or no spillage is noticed by filling nozzles.
Servo Motor	This is mechanical part of the nail polish filling machine which works by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy for movement and filling of the bottles inside the machine such as movement of the rotary plate, filling capping etc., operations are followed by servo motor.
Vibration Plate	If you see the video or any illustration of nail polish filling machine, you may noticed the presence of vibratory plate that promising you in the settlement of air bubble present in the solution as well as it ensuring a uniform flow rate of the nail polish hence overall better efficiency is observed.
Pneumatic Grab Cap	This unit is responsible for grabbing a cap or lid which has to be adjust over the filled bottles. The working of pneumatic grab cap is very simple, the filled bottle comes in contact with position where sensor detects the presence of bottles and a compressed air help in the releasing of the lid which directly flip down over the bottle and twisted by grippers. Remember the entire functionality is taken place in a fraction of the minutes.
Conveyor	Do you know how different bottles comes into the machine and leaves the unit once they’re filled. Yes, this is efficiently done by a transporting device known as a conveyor. This is driven by a motor and helps them to flow them in a systematically and synchronized manner so bottles won’t be fall or neither incorrect packaging material can comes through the machine.
Electric Eye	This is an important unit of the machine that observes and senses presence of empty bottles and proceed the further steps. If there’s no bottle; there’s no filling. the container comes in contact where an electric eye views them and transmits the signals towards PLC and communicates so filling of nail polish into the bottle takes places. Also, capping over the bottle neck is carried out by help of electric eye.

7.What Other Machines to Cooperate With Nail Polishing Machine To Form A Complete Production Line?

Number of Machines to Cooperate With Nail Polishing Machine
