How to check the performance of a 6 head magnetic pump filling machine?

2025-08-29

Hey there! As a supplier of 6 head magnetic pump filling machines, I know how crucial it is to ensure these machines are performing at their best. In this blog, I'll share some tips on how to check the performance of a 6 head magnetic pump filling machine.

1. Initial Visual Inspection

Before you start running any tests, it's a good idea to give the machine a thorough visual once - over. Check for any obvious signs of damage, like cracks in the housing, loose wires, or leaks around the pumps. Look at the conveyor belts (if it has one) to make sure they're in good condition and properly aligned. A damaged component can lead to all sorts of problems down the line, so it's better to catch it early.

2. Power On and Check the Controls

Once you've done the visual inspection, power on the machine. Check if all the control panels are lighting up correctly. Make sure the buttons and switches are responsive. You should be able to easily navigate through the different settings, like filling volume, filling speed, and the number of heads in operation. If any of the controls aren't working, it could be a sign of an electrical issue that needs to be addressed.

3. Prime the Pumps

Priming the magnetic pumps is an important step. This ensures that the pumps are filled with the liquid and are ready to start the filling process. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to prime the pumps. Usually, it involves running a small amount of liquid through the system to remove any air bubbles. If the pumps aren't primed properly, you might get inconsistent filling volumes or even damage the pumps over time.

4. Check the Filling Volume Accuracy

One of the most important aspects of a filling machine's performance is its ability to dispense the correct amount of liquid. To check the filling volume accuracy, you can use calibrated containers. Set the machine to fill a specific volume, say 500 ml, and then fill a series of containers. Measure the actual volume in each container using a measuring device. The variance between the set volume and the actual volume should be within an acceptable range. If the variance is too large, you may need to adjust the pump settings or check for any blockages in the filling nozzles.

5. Evaluate the Filling Speed

The filling speed is another key performance indicator. You can time how long it takes for the machine to fill a certain number of containers. Compare the actual filling speed with the machine's specifications. If the filling speed is slower than expected, it could be due to a variety of reasons, such as a clogged filter, a weak pump, or an issue with the control system. On the other hand, if the filling speed is too fast, it might lead to spillage and inaccurate filling volumes.

6. Inspect the Sealing and Capping (if applicable)

If your 6 head magnetic pump filling machine is also equipped with a sealing or capping function, make sure to check its performance. For sealing, look for any signs of incomplete seals, such as leaks or loose caps. Check the capping torque to ensure that the caps are tightened properly. Improper sealing or capping can lead to product spoilage and customer dissatisfaction.

7. Monitor the Machine's Stability

While the machine is running, pay attention to its stability. A stable machine is less likely to cause problems during the filling process. Check for any excessive vibrations or noises. Excessive vibrations can indicate an imbalance in the machine or a problem with the motor. Noises can also be a sign of mechanical issues, such as worn - out bearings or loose parts.

8. Check the Compatibility with Different Liquids

If you plan to use the machine with different types of liquids, it's important to check its compatibility. Some liquids may have different viscosities, densities, or chemical properties that can affect the machine's performance. Test the machine with a variety of liquids to ensure that it can handle them all without any issues. For example, a thick liquid may require a different pump setting than a thin liquid.

9. Look for Cross - Contamination

Cross - contamination can be a big problem, especially if you're filling different products on the same machine. Check for any signs of cross - contamination, such as residue from a previous product in the filling nozzles or tubing. Make sure to clean the machine thoroughly between different product runs to prevent cross - contamination.

10. Consider the Maintenance Requirements

A well - maintained machine will perform better and last longer. Check the maintenance requirements of the 6 head magnetic pump filling machine. This includes things like regular lubrication, filter replacement, and cleaning. Make sure you have a maintenance schedule in place and follow it strictly. Neglecting maintenance can lead to a decline in the machine's performance and increase the risk of breakdowns.
