The GMT-X1 LF is a rail-mounted weighing indicator designed specifically for liquid filling scales. It boasts a compact design, reliable performance, precise weighing, and user-friendly operation. Widely used in multi-head filling systems, it excels at accurately filling liquid products like oils and lubricants. Equipped with an advanced control system, the GMC-X1 LF delivers high-speed, high-accuracy performance, optimizing filling efficiency, minimizing waste, and boosting overall production output.

Product Features

  1. 5 in 9 ou I/O ports to meet the different control needs for application;
  2. Profinet or Ethernet IP available for the large-scale linkage control;
  3. 3 filling modes: single-head increment, multi-head increment, multi-head decrement to align with different filling machines;
  4. 20 kinds of formulas, which is convenient for switching;
  5. Drop correction and lifting nozzle function to ensure filling accuracy;
  6. Printing function, which is convenient to mark the weight data of each bottle/barrel;

Oil Filling Application

In the edible oil industry, filling machines are usually designed with 10 or more filling heads, each of which is independently controlled by a GMC-X1 LF liquid filling controller. It precisely regulates the filling speed through three levels of fast, medium and slow feeding.

Application features

High-precision control: GMC-X1 LF with high-precision weighing technology, is linked with PLC and servo motor to ensure the filling accuracy within 10g (target value is 20kg) and 2g (target value is 5kg), which is in line with the industry standard and guarantees the quality.

Filtering algorithm: GMC-X1 LF uses different filtering algorithms in different parts of the control process, which makes the control of filling more accurate and the weight data more stable.

Dynamic adjustment of filling speed: the instrument adjusts the filling speed according to the real-time weight feedback, to avoid overflow and reduce waste. Meanwhile, it meets the customer's speed requirements of 10s/barrel, which improves production efficiency.

Intelligent correction function: it can control the drop correction for different viscosity edible oils (such as peanut oil, olive oil, rapeseed oil) to ensure filling consistent .

Strong stability: the instrument maintains stable operation under a long time and high-intensity working environment, which reduces the failure rate and improves the longevity of the equipment.

Lubricant Filling Application

In the lubricant filling scenario, each filling head is independently controlled by a GMT-X1 LF weighing indicator. It precisely control the volume, speed and accuracy of the lubricant filling to meet the different filling requirements.

Application Features

High integration of module control: GMC-X1 LF directly controls the fast/medium/slow feeding of the equipment, which solves the problem of low feeding accuracy due to communication delay of PLC and transmitter. It can highly integrated field equipment, and improve efficiency.

High-speed communication: PLC can directly use high-speed bus to read/write the data of the module or download the formula, which solves the problem of slow communication speed of traditional RS485.

Fast control algorithm: the instrument uses the latest control algorithm to make the converted AD to control fast, medium, slow filling, which is more accurate. The accuracy in the field can reach 5/100,000 (target value of 165kg, accuracy of 90g).

Reduce loss, improve efficiency: high precision control, to avoid filling over or under weight. It greatly reduces the waste of raw materials, and reduce costs while increasing production, which protects the brand image.

Thanks to its high precision, stability, and intelligent control capabilities, the GMT-X1 LF rail-mounted weighing and filling indicator demonstrates exceptional performance in oil filling applications. It accurately controls filling speed and weight, enhancing production efficiency, reducing raw material waste, and ensuring consistent product quality. Looking ahead, the GMT-X1 LF will play a vital role in a wider range of liquid filling applications, providing businesses with efficient and reliable filling solutions.
