Chapter 1 Overview
1-1 Overview
The SGP Series Dual Head fully pneumatic filling machines are newly designed for liquid, paste,
and cream filling, and its filling amount can be adjusted as required based on the specified range,
featuring high stability, reliability and filling accuracy.
1-2 Features
1. All surface materials of this machine are crafted of 316 stainless steel, which features high
acid-resistant and corrosion-resistant properties, as well as presenting a high quality finish.
2. You can operate it safely and easily, and adjusting the filling amount can be performed within the
range as required with high accuracy.
3. Its reasonable layout enables you to easily disassemble, safely operate, and easily clean it the filler.
4. Due to a total lack of electrical components, this filler can be used safely in a wide array of
hazardous or moist environments.

1-4 Working Principle
The cylinder runs in reciprocating and linear manners to drive the piston and generate suction and thrust
so as to draw and push your product.
1-5 Working Process
Open the inlet valve, adjust the working air pressure and select the working status (automatic or
semiautomatic). During the operation, the rotary cylinder linkage is turned (opens a path towards the
front while sealing towards the top), the fill head cylinder moves upwards to open the discharge valve,
the piston cylinder actuates to move the piston forward, which dispenses material for filling (the speed
can be adjusted by the “Behind” valve); after that, the fill head cylinder moves downwards to close the
discharge valve to prevent dripping, the rotary cylinder linkage returns (seals towards the front while
opening a path towards the top), the piston cylinder actuates to move the piston rearward, which pulls
new product into the chamber for the next filling (speed can be adjusted by the “Front” valve). Thus the
operation is accomplished.

Chapter 2 Operation Instruction
2-1 Preparation
1. Precautions
(1) The inlet air pressure should be 0.5-0.8Mpa and the working air pressure should be 0.4-0.5 Mpa.
(2) Keep all appendages clear of moving parts during operation.
2. Filling amount troubleshooting
Adjust the filling amount as follows:
(1) Put materials to be filled into the container.
(2) Prepare measuring cup or scale to identify quantities desired.
(3) Turn the hand wheel to adjust the variable sensor to desired range.
(4) Check to ensure that the operation switch is set to Semiautomatic, use the footpedal to control the cycle,
measure the obtained product to see whether it is in the desired quantity. If not, proceed by the
following:
ALoosen the locking handle on the adjustable sensor.
BTurn the hand wheel clockwise or counterclockwise.
CRepeat step 4, using a measuring cup or bottle to measure the materials and adjust the handwheel until
the obtained result is within the desired range.
DTighten the locking handle on the adjustment sensor to avoid parts shifting and influencing the filling
accuracy.
2-2 Operation Method
(1) Connect the air source and slide the air inlet collar towards the machine.
(2) Check whether the air pressure meter is in the specified range (roughly reading in the “12-3 o’clock”
range). If not, draw the air pressure knob outwards to unlock, rotate the pressure regulator knob until the
pressure is in the specified range (0.4-0.5Mpa) and push the knob back in to lock.
(3) Use theAuto/Semiauto switch to set the filler to the desired operation method.
(4) To make an adjustment, you can loose the locking handle on the adjustment sensor, rotate the
handwheel, take note of the value on the position display and fasten the handle.
(5) Adjust the front valve (for adjusting drawing speed) and behind valve (for adjusting filling speed) as
shown in Figure 1 to get reasonable drawing and filling speed.

(6) Fill the hopper with product and prepare the container to be filled.
(7) Proceed with filling and control the operation with the foot switch. Step on the foot switch once to cycle a
complete filling operation. You can adjust and use the Automatic function if you are proficient enough to
keep up with the filling speed.
2-3 Fault Analysis and Troubleshooting
Symptom Analysis Troubleshooting
The machine
fails
Check whether the air pressure collar is open Open it
Check whether the air source is open
(compressor)
Open it
Check whether the value on air pressure meter is
within the correct range Adjust it to 0.4-0.5MPa
Check whether there is leakage on any joints or damage
on air lines
Insert the pipe again or change
another one
Check whether air amount is adjusted to the
minimum (tightened too much) via the front valve
and behind valve
Adjust the valves to the working
status
Check whether the air amount on the fill head
cylinder is adjusted to the minimum (tightened
too far)
Adjust the throttle to the working
status
Check cleanliness of machine. Prod
uct may be
hardened, tacky, or sticky, causing rotary
assembly or main piston to be stuck
Clean the machine
Filling is not
even
Check for air leakage in all air line connections Fasten each joint
Check for leakage in the product chamber Replace o-rings
Check product level inside hopper Add materials
Check for correct speeds during filling and
drawing actions
Adjust the front valve and
behind valve for stable operation
Check whether the material viscosity is even

2-4 Safety Instruction
1. You can use soap and warm water to clean the machine. Fill hopper with cleaning agent and water; cycle until
discharge is clear of any product; fill hopper with clean water and cycle until water is clear
2. Never use sharp tools on any parts surface when cleaning the internal parts and install the parts when they
are dry.
3. Use lubricant for all moving parts.
4. Check the o-rings of all parts and replace damaged rings.
5. Check whether there is damage or leakage on the air lines.
6. Fasten screws of all parts.
7. Never clean the filler via harsh or abrasive cleaners to protect the machine integrity.
8. Never cycle the filler without a product.
9. Never put hard materials into the hopper.
10. Filler should be on a flat surface in a dry place with little dust and enough room for movement during each
filling cycle.
11. Use the machine in air-current environment when volatile liquid is to be filled.
12. Body or materials should be far away from moving parts and our factory takes no responsibility for any
machinery and human injury due to it.
13. Cut off the air source when repairing/replacing parts/cleaning.
14. Never use an organic flux to clean the machine, such as gasoline, acetone, benzene, xylene, banana oil or
sodium hypochlorite.
