Características clave
Net-Weight Filling for API Viscosity Accuracy
Motor oil viscosity varies significantly with temperature: a 5W-30 oil at 15°C is nearly twice as dense as at 100°C. Volumetric filling systems (flow meters, positive displacement pumps) produce fill errors of 2–5% across the typical ambient temperature range of a production facility (15–35°C). Our lubricant filling machines use net-weight (gravimetric) filling: each container sits on an individual high-accuracy load cell (resolution 0.1g), and filling stops when the target weight is reached regardless of product temperature or viscosity. Temperature compensation corrects for density variation: the PLC reads a product temperature sensor and applies a pre-programmed density-temperature curve for each oil grade, adjusting target weight to maintain consistent volume at 15°C reference temperature (as sold).
Multi-Format Container Handling: 1L to 20L
Automotive lubricant filling lines must handle a wide range of container formats: 1L sport-top bottles, 4L/4.73L (1 US gallon) rectangular cans, 5L/6L/8L/10L HDPE pails, 20L (5 US gallon) pails and 200L drums. Each format requires different conveyor widths, fill nozzle heights, gripper positions and drip tray sizes. Our lubricant filling machines use a servo-driven adjustable guide rail system and pneumatic container clamps that can be adjusted to any container width from 50mm to 400mm without tools — all dimensions stored as named recipes in the HMI. Format changeover time is under 10 minutes for bottle-to-bottle changes and under 20 minutes for pail-to-drum changes.
Closed-Loop Filling to Prevent Contamination
Automotive lubricants must be protected from moisture, dust and cross-contamination between oil grades. Our filling machines use a sealed product pathway: product is supplied under positive nitrogen blanket pressure from the bulk storage tank to the fill manifold, preventing air ingress and moisture absorption. Fill nozzles use a positive shutoff valve (spring-loaded ball valve or needle valve) with zero-drip design — after each fill, the nozzle retracts into a sealed drip tray that routes any residual drip back to the return line rather than allowing it to contaminate the filled container or floor. The filled container cap is applied immediately after filling in the same machine, completing the sealed system before the container leaves the fill zone.

Preguntas frecuentes
How does temperature affect lubricant oil filling accuracy?▼
Temperature is the primary source of filling inaccuracy for volumetric lubricant filling systems. For example, SAE 10W-40 motor oil has a density of approximately 0.867 g/ml at 15°C and 0.850 g/ml at 40°C — a difference of 2.0%. A volumetric filler calibrated at 15°C will overfill by 2% at 40°C, resulting in 1L bottles containing 1.020L of product. This translates to significant product giveaway at high production volumes. Our net-weight filling system is inherently temperature-independent: the load cell measures mass directly, and the fill stops when 0.867 kg (for 1L of 10W-40 at 15°C reference) is reached regardless of ambient temperature. The optional temperature-compensated weight mode further adjusts target weight for ambient temperature to ensure exactly 1L fill volume at the reference condition.
What fill nozzle design prevents cross-contamination between oil grades?▼
Cross-contamination between oil grades (e.g., 5W-30 contaminating 10W-40) occurs when residual product from the previous oil grade remains in the fill nozzle, pipe manifold or pump. Our lubricant filling machines address this with: (1) dedicated nozzle-per-product assignment using color-coded quick-connect nozzles (each nozzle stays with its designated oil grade), (2) a gravity-drain manifold design that drains all residual product back to the bulk tank when production of a grade ends, (3) a CIP (clean-in-place) port on the manifold that allows solvent flush of the entire product pathway between grade changes, and (4) complete pipeline flushing with the new grade before production starts (flush volume discarded). Grade changeover procedure documented in the machine's operation manual specifies the exact flush volume required to clear residual oil to below 0.1% contamination level.
Can the filling line handle both plastic bottles and metal cans?▼
Yes. Our lubricant filling machines can fill both HDPE plastic bottles and steel/tinplate cans on the same conveyor with recipe-based changeover. The conveyor and container handling system uses adjustable guide rails and pneumatic side guides that are set via servo motor to the correct width for each container type. Fill nozzle height, dwell time, fill speed profile and capping head are all stored per recipe. Plastic bottle capping uses a cap press or torque-controlled screw cap applicator. Metal can seaming (for traditional tinplate oil cans with crimp-seal lids) requires an integrated can seamer — this option is available on custom systems. The most common configuration for automotive lubricants is HDPE bottle with snap-cap or screw cap, which our standard filling lines handle without modification.
What GS/API certification documentation is provided with the filling machine?▼
Our lubricant oil filling machines are supplied with: CE Declaration of Conformity (covering machinery, low voltage and EMC directives), material certificates for all product-contact components (316L stainless steel, food-grade PTFE, FDA-compliant seals), calibration certificate for each load cell (traceable to national standards, OIML R 76 weighing accuracy class III), Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) report with production performance data (fill accuracy, speed, changeover time), and installation qualification (IQ) and operation qualification (OQ) documentation packages. Specific API or ATEX certifications (if required for the product or installation location) are available as options and must be specified at time of order.
