In the competitive world of dairy and dessert manufacturing, efficiency, precision, and hygiene are paramount. The yogurt ice cream cup filling and sealing rotary monoblock machine has emerged as a game-changer, offering automated solutions that combine filling, sealing, and packaging in one compact unit. Whether you produce yogurt, ice cream, or other paste-like products, this advanced machinery helps manufacturers save time, reduce labor costs, and improve product quality. In this article, we explore the features, benefits, and top models of rotary monoblock filling and sealing machines, backed by insights from leading industry players.
A rotary monoblock machine is an integrated packaging system that automates the entire process of cup filling and sealing. It typically includes stations for:
Cup feeding and dispensing
Accurate filling of liquid or paste products (like yogurt or ice cream)
Lid or film sealing
Cup ejection for finished products
The rotary design allows continuous and simultaneous processing of multiple cups, significantly increasing production speed and efficiency. The monoblock configuration means all these functions are combined into a single machine, saving floor space and simplifying operation.
The machine automatically separates and places cups on the conveyor, reducing manual labor and minimizing cup damage. Some models use vacuum suckers or pneumatic systems for precise cup handling.
Pneumatic Filling Nozzle: Ideal for liquids and pastes, ensuring smooth, splash-free filling.
Rotary Check Valve: Enables filling of materials containing particles, such as fruit pieces in yogurt or ice cream toppings.
Multiple Filling Methods: Gravity, piston, measuring cup, or screw fillers accommodate various product viscosities and consistencies.
Heat sealing temperature is adjustable to suit different packaging films or lids.
Sealing structures ensure airtight, leak-proof packaging, preserving product freshness and quality.
Some machines support both pre-cut lids and roll film sealing options.
Touchscreen control panels provide visual parameter adjustments, making the machines user-friendly even for novice operators.
Photocell sensors detect the presence of cups and lids to prevent wastage and machine errors.
PLC and inverter controls enable variable speed adjustment and automation.
Stainless steel frames and food-grade contact parts ensure hygiene.
CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems and laminar flow HEPA filters are available for sterile environments.
Tool-free disassembly of filling parts facilitates quick cleaning and maintenance.
Rotary monoblock machines can fill and seal anywhere from 12 to 2000 cups per minute depending on the model and configuration. For example, the ZONESUN ZS-FS100 model fills 12-15 cups per minute, ideal for small to medium production, while the Chunlai KIS-900-2 reaches up to 2000 cups per hour for higher volume needs.
Combining multiple production steps into one compact unit reduces factory footprint and streamlines workflow.
Consistent filling accuracy and hermetic sealing prevent contamination and spoilage, crucial for dairy and frozen dessert products.
These machines handle a wide range of products, including yogurt, ice cream, ketchup, honey, jam, and even cosmetic creams. They support different cup sizes, materials (plastic, paper, aluminum), and lid types.
