Due to the difference in physical properties between edible oil and water, the filling machine for water filling may not work properly or achieve the expected filling effect when filling edible oil

Why is a water filling machine not suitable for filling edible oil? To understand this question, first of all, we need to clarify the basic working principle of the filling machine. Filling machines usually accurately inject liquids or fluid substances from storage containers into another container, such as bottles, cans, etc., through certain pressure or flow control. However, different liquids have varying requirements for filling machines due to their different physical and chemical properties.

 

Next, we will analyze the differences in physical properties between edible oil and water:

Viscosity difference: Edible oil has a higher viscosity compared to water. Viscosity is a manifestation of internal resistance when a liquid flows, and liquids with high viscosity are more susceptible to obstruction during flow.

Lubrication difference: Edible oil usually has good lubricity due to its composition and molecular structure, while water is relatively poor.

Adhesion difference: Edible oil tends to adhere to container walls and filling machine pipelines, while water is relatively easy to clean and remove.

Based on the above differences, we can infer the possible problems that the filling machine may encounter when filling edible oil:

Due to the high viscosity of edible oil, there may be issues such as poor flow and slow speed during the filling process, which can affect filling efficiency and accuracy.

The adhesion of edible oil may make cleaning and maintenance of the filling machine more difficult, as the edible oil attached to the machine may be difficult to completely remove, thereby affecting the quality of the next filling.

In summary, due to the differences in physical properties between edible oil and water, water filling machines may not function properly or achieve the expected filling effect when filling edible oil. Therefore, water filling machines are not suitable for filling edible oil. In practical applications, we need to choose a suitable filling machine or make corresponding adjustments and improvements based on the properties of the liquid.
