Overview

The FA6 Series is a family of automatic 6-nozzle paste filling machines built by Wenzhou T&D Packing Machinery Factory. Seven volume variants cover the entire mid-to-large output range: FA6-100 (10–100 ml), FA6-300 (30–300 ml), FA6-500 (50–500 ml), FA6-1000 (100–1000 ml), FA6-2500 (250–2500 ml), FA6-3000 (300–3000 ml), and FA6-5000 (500–5000 ml). All variants share the same chassis, 80 L hopper, 220 V / 660 W power supply, 0.6–0.8 MPa air supply, 210 × 110 × 150 cm packaging size, and ±1% filling accuracy, driven by a Taiwan PLC + Airtac pneumatic control core. Peak mechanical speed is 240 fills/min (10–40 cycles/min × 6 nozzles). Net weight scales with cylinder size from about 400 kg (FA6-100) up to 600 kg (FA6-1000 and above). Built on a 201/304 stainless steel frame with optional 316 stainless steel, the machine combines anti-drip shutoff nozzles with Germany SICK photoelectric sensors (no bottle, no fill) and a built-in 2 m fixed-position conveyor. It handles viscous liquids and pastes such as sauce, cream, paste, yogurt, cooking oil, juice, milk, and liquid detergent. Export packaging is a plywood case (one case per set, including tools and spare parts); MOQ 1 set; 100% T/T (30% deposit + 70% before shipping); lead time 15–30 days; one-year warranty on the whole machine plus lifetime maintenance.

4.2 FAQ

Q1: How many models are in the FA6 Series and what are their filling ranges? Seven: FA6-100 (10–100 ml), FA6-300 (30–300 ml), FA6-500 (50–500 ml), FA6-1000 (100–1000 ml), FA6-2500 (250–2500 ml), FA6-3000 (300–3000 ml), and FA6-5000 (500–5000 ml). All models share the same chassis, control system, and 80 L hopper.

Q2: What is the difference between the FA6 Series and the FA4 Series? Both share the same platform architecture (hopper, power, air supply, dimensions, control). FA6 adds 2 more filling nozzles (6 vs. 4), raising peak speed from 160 fills/min to 240 fills/min. FA6 is the natural upgrade path for higher-output lines.

Q3: What materials can this machine fill? Free-flowing liquids (water, juice, milk, cooking oil) and thick pastes (sauce, ketchup, cream, yogurt, salad dressing, honey, detergent, shampoo, lotion, ointment). For highly corrosive products, specify the rubber sealing ring option.

Q4: What is the actual production capacity per hour? Peak mechanical speed is 240 fills/min × 60 = 14,400 fills/hour. Realistic sustained output depends on bottle type, operator skill, and changeover frequency — typically 1,500–3,000 bottles/hour for 500–1000 ml containers.

Q5: Is the contact material food-grade? Yes. Standard contact parts are 304 stainless steel (food-grade). 316 stainless steel is available for pharmaceutical or highly corrosive applications.

Q6: Can one machine be converted from one FA6 model to another? Yes. The cylinder kit is the only difference between FA6 models — swapping cylinders switches between any model in the family. Contact the factory for cross-model conversion kits and recalibration support.

Q7: What power and air supply are required? 220 V, 50/60 Hz single-phase, 660 W; compressed air at 0.6–0.8 MPa with a flow of 300–400 L/min.

Q8: What is the warranty and after-sales policy? One-year warranty on the whole machine. During the warranty period, damage caused by normal operation as described in the manual is repaired or replaced free of charge; the customer covers freight from China to their location and engineer travel costs. Lifetime maintenance service continues after the warranty period.

Q9: What are the lead time and trade terms? Shipping within 15–30 days after deposit. The default term is EXW Wenzhou. Export packaging is a plywood case, one case per machine, including tools and spare parts.

6.2 Key Operational Notes

No bottle, no fill: When the SICK photoelectric sensor does not detect a bottle, the corresponding nozzle will not dispense, preventing product waste and contamination.
Cross-model switching: The only difference between FA6 models is the cylinder kit — a FA6-1000 cylinder can be moved onto a FA6-5000 chassis (and vice versa), carried out by the factory or a trained technician.
Anti-corrosion mode: When filling acidic or alkaline materials, replace the silica gel O-ring with the rubber sealing ring.
Speed tuning: Start at 10 cycles/min when commissioning a new product, then ramp up to 40 cycles/min once flow stability is confirmed.
