K-One Precise and versatile dosing machine, peristaltic pump suitable for filling liquid products

Peristaltic Pump Filling Machine for Precise Liquid Dosing | K-One

The K-One is a versatile filling machine equipped with a peristaltic pump, designed to meet the needs of various industries. This CDA machine offers high precision when packaging different types of products, such as pharmaceutical products, cosmetic products, food products, and other liquid and viscous substances.

One of the key features of the K-One is its ability to operate in automatic or semi-automatic mode, making it suitable both for complete packaging lines and for small-batch filling requirements. Peristaltic filling offers numerous advantages, including preservation of product integrity (the product never comes into direct contact with the pump, only with the tubing). In addition, tubing replacement is simple and cleaning is quick (with no product loss thanks to reverse rotation).

Another advantage is the reduction of contamination risks, which is essential for pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. Furthermore, the machine automatically adjusts the target dose according to the actual dose obtained during the initial setup, ensuring high dosing accuracy. The machine can be started without waste thanks to the priming button.

The versatility of the K-One makes it an ideal choice for many sectors, including e-liquids, natural flavourings, essential oils, and much more. The machine is also equipped with an intuitive touchscreen, enabling clear operation monitoring and quick modification of control parameters.

To further optimise the packaging process, the K-One can be complemented by other CDA equipment, such as a capping machine and a labelling machine. This strong integration capability facilitates the creation of a complete and efficient packaging line tailored to each company’s specific needs.

FAQ: K-One Peristaltic Filling Machine

1. What types of liquids can the K-One fill?

The machine can dose free-flowing liquids such as e-liquids, essential oils, reagents, cosmetics, sauces, detergents, and chemicals, depending on the selected configuration. It is particularly suited for small-volume dosing: from 5 ml to 1 litre.

2. Can the K-One handle foaming products?

Yes, the K-One can dose slightly foaming products. Thanks to appropriate adjustments, the peristaltic pump helps limit foam formation.

3. Is it easy to change bottle formats?

Yes. The K-One is easily adjustable (intuitive touchscreen) and can deliver different dosing volumes. However, this filling machine is particularly suited to small volumes: we recommend dosing between 5 ml and 1 litre.

4. What production rate can be achieved?

The production rate depends on the product specifications and the volume to be dosed. In semi-automatic mode, output also depends on the operator. In automatic mode (when the K-One is installed on a monobloc system), it can reach up to 25 products per minute on 10 ml bottles.

5. Can the machine be integrated into a complete line?

Absolutely. The K-One can be used as a standalone machine in semi-automatic mode (the dose is delivered by pressing a push button). It can also equip an E-Fill system, in which case it is integrated into a complete line. Companies may purchase the K-One first and, once packaging volumes increase, request its integration into a monobloc (with a lower acquisition cost, as the pump is already owned).

6. Does the K-One comply with food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical standards?

Yes, the K-One complies with pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industry standards. It simply requires the appropriate tubing. Several types of tubing are available and must be selected according to the product being dosed (for example, some essential oils are corrosive and require special tubing). Our engineering department will guide you in selecting the appropriate tubing.

7. What maintenance is required?

The machine is designed for simple maintenance and quick cleaning to minimise downtime. Since the product only comes into contact with the tubing, it is sufficient to remove and clean the tubing between each product. Users typically have several sets of tubing in order to perform cleaning without interrupting production.

8. Is it suitable for small batches?

Yes, it is very easy to change the tubing and switch from dosing one product to another. Companies with many products and small production runs are generally very satisfied with the K-One.
