Features of Automatic Milk Powder Canning Line
1. High-Precision Spiral Metering Filling
Utilizing an advanced spiral metering filling system, this line precisely measures the exact quantity of milk powder for each can, effectively reducing product loss and ensuring uniform weight distribution. The servo motor-driven spiral mechanism provides smooth and stable powder delivery, suitable for powders with different flow characteristics.
2. Vacuum Sealing Technology
Equipped with a vacuum sealing system, the line removes excess air before sealing, preventing oxidation and moisture ingress. This technology extends the shelf life of milk powder and preserves its freshness and nutritional value.
3. Fully Automated Operation
From can feeding, cleaning, filling, vacuum sealing, to coding and palletizing, the entire process is fully automated. The system employs PLC control and a user-friendly HMI interface for real-time monitoring, parameter setting, and fault diagnosis, greatly improving operational efficiency.
4. Hygienic and Easy to Clean
The modular design facilitates quick disassembly and cleaning, supporting CIP (Clean-In-Place) and SIP (Sterilization-In-Place) processes. The design prevents powder accumulation and cross-contamination, ensuring compliance with strict food safety regulations and maintaining product quality over time.
4. Certified Quality and Compliance
Shipu’s canning line complies with international certifications including CE, ISO9001, and GMP standards, guaranteeing that the equipment meets rigorous quality and safety requirements. All components contacting the product are made from food-grade stainless steel (SUS304/SUS316L), ensuring hygiene and preventing contamination.
5. Adaptability & Versatility
The system supports a wide range of can sizes, including tinplate, aluminum, and composite cans with different diameters and heights. It is compatible with various milk powder formulations and other powdered dairy products.
6. Integrated Quality Control
Equipped with weight checkers, leak detectors, and metal detectors, the line ensures that only cans meeting quality standards proceed to packaging, reducing defective rates and improving product reliability.
5. Intelligent Control and User-Friendly Interface
The entire line is controlled by an advanced PLC system with a touchscreen HMI, enabling easy parameter setting, real-time monitoring, automatic fault detection, and data logging. This intelligent system reduces downtime and simplifies operator training.
6. Flexible Compatibility and Scalability
Shipu’s production line is compatible with various can sizes and materials, with easy format changeover, adapting quickly to different product specifications and market demands. The modular structure also allows for future upgrades, including integration with upstream or downstream packaging equipment.




The Working Principle of Automatic Milk Powder Canning Filling Line
1. First place the empty milk powder cans on the rotary bottle unscrambler, which will rotate to bring the cans into the conveyor belt one by one.
2. The tank cleaning machine will blow the empty tank to remove dust to ensure that there is no impurities in the tank.
3. Then the empty cans enter the sterilization tunnel, and in the process, the empty cans after UV sterilization and sterilization will be obtained.
4. The high-precision milk powder filling machine fills the milk powder into the milk powder tank after weighing.
5. Enter the vacuum nitrogen filling and sealing machine, according to the high-purity canning requirements of milk powder and protein powder, ensure that the residual oxygen rate is less than 2%, automatically cover the can, automatically vacuumize, automatically fill nitrogen, and automatically seal the can without pollution.
6. After sealing the can, clean the can body.
7. Since the milk powder filling is carried out from the bottom, the milk powder tank needs to be rotated.
8. Put on the plastic cover,
9. Complete the filling of the milk powder can.
