Plc based Industrial bottles filling and liquid mixing for control & Automation laboratory

Project Title

Plc based Industrial bottles filling and liquid mixing for control & Automation laboratory

Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject Summary

In this era of industrialization, technological revolution/automation is fast shrinking the need of humans to assist machinery. Looking at the current industrial scenario, birth of new products and private brands is sharply raising the competition among industries. In order to making students familiar with automated industrialization the real time Lab Trainer is designed which is controlled by Programmable logic controller (PLC). This system provides the bottle filling, liquid mixing, and capping mechanism. At first a empty bottle is run by using a conveyer towards filling section, the mixing unit has two tanks where the two different levels of sweetness can be set then the bottle is filled at filling machine and moves toward capping mechanism to be sealed and the process continues.

Project Objectives

• Industrial procedures for bottle filling and liquid mixing, along
• with any exiting trainer for laboratories internationally.
• Make a juice liquid mixing plant using PLC.
• Make a bottle filling assembly line over a PLC controlled conveyor module.
• Interfaceable with the existing PLC Siemens Trainers and RLC/PLC Universal Trainer (Past FYP).
• Capping mechanism for the filled juice bottles

Project Implementation Method

At first we add resources (water, sugar, flavors) into respective tanks after that we select desired sweetness level and flavor, the bottle will be placed and process will be started. As process starts the water and flavors are pumped to mixing where mixing is done and under filling nozzle bottle sensed by sensor and conveyor will be stopped for exact time in which bottle can be filled accurately, conveyor starts after the bottle is filled and when bottle arrives at capping mechanism sensor stops the conveyor by observing the presence of bottle, the rotator takes the bottle to sealed the cap and will put it on another conveyor to be picked off. The tanks are having level sensors to indicate when they are about to be empty.

Benefits of the Project

Local industries are using manual filling systems where labor takes bottle from one place to another then the bottle is filled manually and then also sealed manually.  Whereas this design provides fully automated system, the bottle is moved towards filling mechanism by conveyor belt and bottle is filled automatically by Gravitational filling process. In this type of filling process the liquid comes down by gravitational force from the container and filled in the bottle. The flow of liquid is controlled by the help of the valve that is opened for certain duration of time. This type of method has advantages that it requires small hardware, fast and accurate filling. 

 By using automatic liquid filling machinery the local industries can solve many problems as Automatic type filling machinery are usually imported from foreign countries which are very expensive the local industries are not in reach to purchase them because they have pay large amount of tax and duties if these type of machines can developed with in the Pakistan local industries can easily buy them without pay large amount of money.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

In the final our project in 1st week of july.our hard ware portition are completed and software part are nearly finish 4 or 5 days inshaAllah.
