PF-500 + DC-1 + AL-220 Automatic Powder Filling Line
Model: PF-500 + DC-1 + AL-220 Product Name: Automatic powder filling line Supplier: Wenzhou T&D packaging machinery factory Web: www.cecle.net
The PF-500 + DC-1 + AL-220 is an automatic powder filling line built by Wenzhou T&D packaging machinery factory. It consists of three main machines — the PF-500 automatic powder filling machine (10–500g), the DC-1 automatic screwing capping machine, and the AL-220 automatic round bottle labeling machine — covering the three core stations of filling, capping and labeling. It is designed for bottling and canning of dry powder products such as milk powder, protein powder, seasoning powder, coffee powder, pharmaceutical powder and pesticide powder.
The filler uses a servo dosing system; both filling volume and filling speed are freely adjustable on the HMI, with a filling accuracy of 1%. All product contact parts are made of 304 stainless steel and meet GMP requirements. The filling head can be upgraded and adjusted, so cans, barrels and bottles are all handled on the same machine. The hopper holds 45L and the pack count is displayed automatically. The capper runs two screwing heads simultaneously and uses German SICK photocell sensors for no-bottle-no-fill control. The labeler runs at 40–200 pcs/min with a labeling accuracy of ≥1.0mm, stops and alarms automatically when labels run out or break, and can apply one or two labels to cylindrical products.
Optional devices include a glass cover, 316 stainless steel contact parts, a dating printing machine, a bottle unscrambler (80cm turntable) and a cap feeding machine. Lead time is 30–45 working days, FOB port is Ningbo, and the whole line carries a one-year warranty.

2. Key Advantages
- Three stations delivered as one line: filling, capping and labeling are supplied and commissioned together, avoiding the cycle-time mismatch and after-sales finger-pointing of a line assembled from multiple vendors.
- Servo dosing delivers accuracy and flexibility together: filling weight across 10–500g and filling speed are both freely adjustable, with accuracy at 1%; changing format requires no hardware change.
- Certified hygiene level: product contact parts are 304 stainless steel and GMP compliant; 316 stainless steel contact parts are optional for high-salt, high-acid and highly corrosive powders.
- One machine, many containers: the upgradable filling head handles cans, barrels and bottles, so customers running multiple formats do not need to buy separate machines.
- Quick to learn: PLC + touchscreen control with a visual interface; filling weight and speed are entered directly, with no programming skills required.
- Transparent output: the pack count is displayed automatically, so shift statistics and piece-rate accounting need no manual counting.
- High capping efficiency, no idle running: the DC-1 runs two screwing heads at once under SICK photocell control with no-bottle-no-action, reducing idle cycles and cap damage.
- High labeling accuracy, minimal seam error: the AL-220 uses a high-precision stepping servo motor and a five-axis label feeding system, reaching ≥1.0mm accuracy at 40–200 pcs/min.
- Automatic labeling protection: the machine stops and alarms when labels run out or break, preventing semi-finished bottles from reaching the next step and causing rework.
- Assured delivery and service: 30–45 working days lead time, wooden case packing suitable for sea freight, one-year warranty on the whole machine, and lifetime repair service after the warranty period.

4. Sales Guidance & FAQ
Sales Guidance
- Ask about the powder before quoting accuracy: the 10–500g range and 1% accuracy are rated on free-flowing dry powder. Light fluffy powders such as milk and protein powder behave very differently from dense powders such as coffee and salt, so always get a real sample and run a trial before committing to an accuracy figure.
- Ask about the fill weight, then check it falls inside 10–500g: anything above 500g (for example a 1kg can) must be confirmed with the factory for a range extension — do not force-fit the PF-500.
- Ask about required output, then work out the cycle time: 20–30 times/min is the single-cycle speed; actual bottles = cycles × number of filling heads × 60. The number of filling heads is not stated in the factory data sheet, so confirm it before quoting or the output promise will be wrong.
- Ask about bottle and cap format: bottle diameter must satisfy both the bottle distributing machine (φ20–φ100mm, when fitted) and the labeler (φ32–φ150mm); the same applies to height (20–150mm / 40–350mm). Plastic screw caps and glass caps need different capping wheels, so confirm against real cap samples from the customer.
- Ask about label specification: label length 20–150mm, width 10–250mm, roll inner diameter 76mm, outer diameter within 360mm. Self-adhesive rolls outside these limits simply will not load.
- Recommended upsell order: filling + capping + labeling is the base configuration; add the dating printing machine for customers who need batch codes, the glass cover and 316 contact parts for customers with cleanliness requirements, and the bottle distributing machine plus cap feeding machine for customers sensitive to manual loading cost.
- Be specific about the hygiene selling point: lead with 304 contact parts and GMP compliance for food and supplement customers; push the 316 upgrade for high-salt, high-acid and chlorine-containing powders — this is a differentiator that directly supports a price premium.
- Manage delivery expectations: 30–45 working days plus sea freight — explain the total lead time up front to avoid chasing after the deposit is paid.
- Align on the parameter basis: tell the customer that parameters are for reference and the actual object is the standard, and lock the key items (filling range, accuracy, bottle format, label specification) into the technical annex of the contract to reduce acceptance disputes.
FAQ
Q1: What materials is this line suitable for filling? This line is built for powder filling — milk powder, protein powder, coffee powder, instant beverage powder, seasoning powder, pharmaceutical powder, pesticide powder and other dry powders. Powders with poor flow, that absorb moisture and cake, or that contain granules must be trial-tested with a sample first.
Q2: What is the filling range and accuracy? Filling range is 10–500g with 1% accuracy, guaranteed by the servo dosing system; filling volume and filling speed are freely adjustable on the touchscreen.
Q3: What is the output of this line? The filler cycles at 20–30 times/min; actual output = cycles × number of filling heads × 60. On a single head basis this works out to 1,200–1,800 bottles/hour (estimated value, number of filling heads to be confirmed). The labeler runs at 40–200 pcs/min, and the real line pace is set by the slowest station.
Q4: What material are the product contact parts? Standard is 304 stainless steel, GMP compliant; 316 stainless steel contact parts are optional for high-salt, high-acid and highly corrosive powders.
Q5: Can it fill cans or barrels, not only bottles? Yes. The filling head is upgradable and adjustable, so cans, barrels and bottles are all handled; containers are positioned automatically before filling.
Q6: Which caps can the capper handle? Plastic PET bottle caps and glass bottle caps, with two screwing heads working simultaneously and German SICK photocell sensors for no-bottle-no-action. Cap feeding requires the optional cap feeding machine.
Q7: What label and bottle sizes can the AL-220 handle? Labels: length 20–150mm, width 10–250mm, roll inner diameter 76mm, outer diameter within 360mm. Bottles: diameter φ32–φ150mm, height 40–350mm. One or two labels can be applied to the same product.
Q8: Does this line include a bottle distributing machine? In the factory quotation the bottle distributing machine (80cm turntable) is listed as an optional device; the standard configuration is the three main machines for filling, capping and labeling. Customers who need automatic bottle loading must add it separately — make sure it is stated clearly whether it is included in the quotation before signing.
Q9: Can I buy only the filling machine, without the capper and labeler? Yes. The machine configuration is freely selectable, and machines can be supplied individually to match the customer's existing line.
Q10: How long is the warranty and what does it cover? One year on the whole machine, starting from start-up and acceptance in the buyer's factory. During the warranty period, parts are provided free of charge for quality problems; the customer bears the freight from China to the destination; if our engineers are needed on site, round-trip travel is at the customer's cost. Lifetime repair service continues after the warranty period.
Q11: What power and air supply does the customer need to prepare? Power supply is 220V 50/60Hz (the labeler also supports 220V/100V). Air requirements are not stated in the factory data sheet — confirm with the factory whether compressed air is needed and at what pressure and consumption.
Q12: Are the values in the parameter table final? The parameters above are for reference only; please make the object the standard.

Pre-operation
- Connect the 220V 50/60Hz power supply; check whether compressed air is required and connect it as specified (air supply parameters to be confirmed).
- Set the filling weight (10–500g) and filling speed on the touchscreen and select the dosing program.
- Load powder into the 45L hopper; make sure the powder is not caked, and sieve it if necessary.
- Adjust the conveyor guardrails and the container positioning mechanism to suit the bottle diameter and height.
- Load caps and test-cap 3–5 bottles to confirm torque and sealing.
- Load the label roll (inner diameter 76mm, outer diameter within 360mm) and test-label 3–5 bottles to confirm label position and seam.
- Weigh the first filled container (accuracy 1%), then move to continuous production; check shift output against the automatic counter during the run.
