CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION

Automated Bottle Filling system’ is a miniature form of automatic bottle filling system

used in the large scale industries such as coca cola,hair oil companies etc.so we have tried to create

an automated bottle filling system without using any microcontrollers or any other type of

programming.The industries, which are having manual process of filling, can be automated using

Automation & Controlling techniques.The bottle filling machine is available in different formats

and specifications and therefore can be selected to suit diverse requirements of packaging and

filling in various industries.

Application of Automation components as per requirement resulted the project of automatically

filling andtransporting.In this plant there are following major operations are performed.

The first one is designing the whole plant as it is in the field and secondly filling of the bottle to the

required level and then transporting it with help of conveyor.The Automation components used in

the plants are conveyor system, sensors, and solenoid operated direction control valves and drain

valves.Sahrdaya College of Engineering and Technology

After the end of a process, the filled bottle is collected and the bottle is now ready to be transported

further for sealing and packing purpose.When we want to fill a bottle without any human effort

‘Automated Bottle Filling system’, is literally a matter of easiness. This project takes a system

design approach to rethinking a piece of automation in a very small scale using simple electronic

components.

We use LDR to sense the change in the intensity of light .The IR sensor is used to sense the

presence of bottle .Also there is a reference voltage which we setted in the comparator .Which we

are mainly used as a switch.

Thus we are going to fill water into the bottle when the sensor detect the presence of the bottle

2.3 MODULE WISE DESCRIPTION

2.3.1 POWER SUPPLY MODULE

The direct line voltage is used to give supply by passing it through a 12 volt stepdown

transformer to reduce the voltage.This voltage signal can be passed through a rectifier for

rectification.Rectifiers have many uses, but are often found serving as components of DC power

supplies and high voltage direct current power transmission systems.

When running from an AC source(220V), a transformer is used to transform the incoming mains

voltage to the correct value required for the power supply electronics circuitry.

The resulting voltage waveform is an alternating current. This must be rectified to enable the

power to be smoothed and regulated for use by electronics circuitry.The smoothing capacitor

circuit is used to enable the rectified DC to be smoothed so that it can be used to power electronics


9


circuits without large levels of voltage variation.A regulator is also used to maintain a constant

voltage level.

fig 2.3.1

2.3.1.1 STEP DOWN TRANSFORMER

A step down transformer has more turns of wire on the primary coil and less turns of wire on

these secondary coil.This makes a smaller induced voltage in the secondary coil.

Compare this with a step up transformer.


10


fig 2.3.1.1

It is called a step down transformer because the output voltage is smaller than the input voltage. If

the secondary coil has half as many turns of wire then the output voltage will be half the input

voltage. See the transformer equation.Decreasing the voltage does not decrease the power.

As the voltage goes down, the current goes up.

2.3.1.2 RECTIFIER

A rectifier is an electrical device that converts alternating current (AC), which periodically

reverses direction, to direct current (DC), which flows in only one direction. The process is known

as rectification. Physically, rectifiers take a number of forms, including vacuum tube diodes,

mercury-arc valves, copper and selenium oxide rectifiers, semiconductor diodes, silicon-controlled

rectifiers and other silicon-based semiconductor switches. Historically, even synchronous

electromechanical switches and motors have been used. Early radio receivers, called crystal radios,

used a "cat's whisker" of fine wire pressing on a crystal of galena (lead sulfide) to serve as a point-

contact rectifier or "crystal detector".


11


fig 2.3.1.2

2.3.1.3 IC VOLTAGE REGULATOR

An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit (also referred to as an IC, a chip, or a

microchip) is a set of electronic circuits on one small plate ("chip") of semiconductor material,

normally silicon. This can be made much smaller than a discrete circuit made from independent

electronic components. ICs can be made very compact, having up to several billion transistors and

other electronic components in an area the size of a fingernail.

fig 2.3.1.3


12


2.3.2 BOTTLE FILLING SYSTEM MODULE

In this unit we have used a LDR placed between the bottle and LED . A comparator is also

used At starting condition there will not be any bottles between LED and LDR, thus the resistance

will be very low .A reference voltage 2.5 is set on comparator and low resistance signal is given to

the other terminal of comparator as input.The comparator will compare the incoming signal and it

will be less than that of the set value, thus we will get 1 as output.When a bottle is placed between

LED and LDR the resistance will low since the bottle is transparent.But when the coloured

solution fills the bottle ,the resistance will increase and it will be compared by the comparator.That

value will higher than the set value,thus we will get 0 as output.

2.3.3 BOTTLE DETECTING UNIT MODULE

An IR sensor is used to detect the presence of bottle.Here the non inverting terminal is fixed

with a reference value .When there is no bottle the resistance will be low ,so that we will get an

output as 1.This output is passed through a NOT gate to get the complement.When bottle is

placed ,the resistance will be higher than the set value.Thus we will get an output as 0 which is

passed through NOT gate to get 1 as output.


13


2.3.4 COMPARATOR MODULE

2.3.4.1 AND GATEThe AND gate is a basic digital logic gate that implements logical conjunction - it behaves

according to the truth table to the right. A HIGH output (1) results only if both the inputs to the

AND gate are HIGH . If neither or only one input to the AND gate is HIGH, a LOW output results.

In another sense, the function of AND effectively finds the minimum between two binary digits,

just as the OR function finds the maximum. Therefore, the output is always 0 except when all the

inputs are 1.

fig 2.3.4.1

2.3.4.2 NOT GATE

A NOT gate (also often called Inverter) is a logic gate .. It takes one input signal. In logic, there are

usually two states, 0 and 1. The gate therefore sends 1 as output, if it receives 0 as input.

Alternatively it received 1 as input, and sends 0 as output.

Generally, below 0.5V is 0, and 4–5V is 1.

The inverter can be made of a discrete transistor. with other components, or several inverters may

be packaged in an integrated circuit.


14


fig 2.3.4.2

2.3.5 SWITCHING CIRCUIT MODULE

Transistor is working as a switch by the output given by the AND gate which is placed before

that.When there is no bottle ,we will get 1 as output from LDR circuit and I.R circuit.Since the

output from IR circuit is noted with a NOT gate we will get an output as 0 from the AND gate

which will not allow the transistor to rotate the motor.When bottle is placed ,output from the LDR

circuit will be same,but output from IR circuit will be 0 which will noted with NOT gate to get 1 as

output which will switch on the transistor and hence will rotate the motor.When the bottle fills

with solution,output from LDR will become 0,which will switch off the transistor irrespective of

the action of IR sensor,and hence solution will not be pumped by the motor.

2.3.6 MOTOR AND PUMPING MODULE Sahrdaya College of Engineering and Technology

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. The reverse of this would be the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy and is done by an electric generator.

In normal motoring mode, most electric motors operate through the interaction between an electric

motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force within the motor. In certain

applications, such as in the transportation industry with traction motors, electric motors can operate

in both motoring and generating or braking modes to also produce electrical energy from

mechanical energy.

transformer.This supply is used to lit the LED.

Light from LED is received by LDR .IR sensor is also placed beside to LDR.Circuit will be turn

on only after detecting the presence of bottle by IR,and light from LED passes through the bottle to

LDR. First there will not be any bottles ,so resistance will be very low since the intensity is very


17


high.A reference voltage 2.5 is set on comparator and low resistance signal is given to the other

terminal of comparator as input.The comparator will compare the incoming signal and it will be

less than that of the set value, thus we will get 1 as output.Another comparator is used in the IR

circuit.Since there is no bottle at first the resistance will be less than the set value.Thus we will get

an output as 1 which is passing through a NOT gate to get the complement. The outputs coming

from both the comparators are passing through an AND gate,so that we will get 0 as an

output,where the transistor will not work as a switch .And hence the motor will not pump the

water.

When the bottle is placed the resistance will be less since the bottle is transparent in

nature.Thus as discussed earlier we will get an output as 1,ie,there is no change in the previous

condition.As the bottle is placed the IR will detect the bottle and hence resistance will be more

than the reference value.Thus it will produce an output as 0. When this 0 is NOTED with a NOT

gate,the complement of this output ie,1 and the output of IR comparator ,ie 1 ,are passing through

an AND gate,thus we will get an output as 1 ,which will allow the transistor to switch on.As the

transistor is switched on, the motor starts pumping water and it fills the bottle.

As the water fills the bottle,the resistance will increase than the set value and hence it will

produce an output as 0.Since this value is 0 ,the transistor will be switched off irrespective of the

action of IR sensor.Thus the motor will stop pumping the water into the bottle.


transformer.

3.3 COMPARATOR

In electronics, a comparator is a device that compares two voltages or currents and outputs a digital signal indicating which is larger. It has two analog input terminals and and one binary digital output .


18


fig 3.3.1

3.4 LDR

It stands for Light Dependent Resistor or Photoresistor, which is a passive electronic

component, basically a resistor which has a resistance that varies depending of the light intensity.

A photoresistor is made of a high resistance semiconductor that absorbs photons and based on the

quantity and frequency of the absorbed photons the semiconductor material give bound electrons


19


enough energy to jump into the conduction band. The resulting free electrons conduct electricity

resulting in lowering resistance of the photoresistor. The number of electrons is dependent of the

photons frequency.

fig 3.4

3.5 TRANSISTOR

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and

electrical power. It is composed of semiconductor material with at least three terminals for

connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's

terminals changes the current through another pair of terminals. Because the controlled (output)

power can be higher than the controlling (input) power, a transistor can amplify a signal.


20

3.6 IR SENSOR

A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view. They are most often used in PIR-based motion detectors.


21


fig 3.6

3.7 LED

An LED lamp is a light-emitting diode (LED) product that is assembled into a lamp

(or light bulb) for use in lighting fixtures. LED lamps have a lifespan and electrical efficiency that

is several times better than incandescent lamps, and significantly better than most fluorescent

lamps, with some chips able to emit more than 100 lumens per watt.Like incandescent lamps and

unlike most fluorescent lamps (e.g. tubes and compact fluorescent lamps or CFLs), LEDs come to

full brightness without need for a warm-up time; the life of fluorescent lighting is also reduced by


22


frequent switching on and off.[2] The initial cost of LED is usually higher. Degradation of LED dye

and packaging materials reduces light output to some extent over time.

fig.3.7

3.8 RELAY

A relay is an electrically operated switch. Many relays use an electromagnet to mechanically

operate a switch, but other operating principles are also used, such as solid-state relays. Relays are

used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power signal (with complete electrical


23


isolation between control and controlled circuits), or where several circuits must be controlled by

one signal. The first relays were used in long distance telegraph circuits as amplifiers: they

repeated the signal coming in from one circuit and re-transmitted it on another circuit. Relays were

used extensively in telephone exchanges and early computers to perform logical operations.

3.9 MOTOR

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical

energy. The reverse of this would be the conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy

and is done by an electric generator.

CHAPTER 4

APPLICATION OF AUTOMATED BOTTLE FILLING SYSTEM

The technology has been developing ever since the Stone Age. The ancient man applied

their minds towards the techniques to have comfort and betterment in their life.


25


The same phenomenon is continuing even till today.Always there is tendency and thirsty with

human beings to develop a better technique in any working process to attain or to provide less

fatigue and mental stress and more comfort to

the operators.

The industries, which are having manual process of filling, can be automated using Automation &

Controlling techniques.

Application of Automation components as per requirement resulted the project of automatically

filling and

transporting.In this plant there are following major operations are performed.

The first one is designing the whole plant as it is in the field and secondly filling of the bottle to the

required level and then transporting it with help of conveyor

The Automation components used in the plants are conveyor system, sensors, and solenoid

operated direction control valves and drain valves.

After the end of a process, the filled bottle is collected and the bottle is now ready to be transported

further for sealing and packing purpose.

Filling is a task carried out by a machine that packages liquid products such as cold drinks or

water .Traditional methods of bottle filling involved placing bottles onto a conveyor and filling

only one bottle at a time. This method is time consuming and expensive. Our paper aims at filling

and capping bottles simultaneously. The filling and capping operation takes place in a

synchronized manner. It also includes a user-defined volume selection menu through which the

user can input the desired volume to be filled in the bottles. The entire system is more flexible and

time saving. The filling and capping operations are controlled using a Programmable Logic

Controllers (PLC’S). This is because PLC’s are very flexible, cost effective, space efficient and

reduces complexity. By programming the PLC we control the entire system. SCADA (Supervisory

Control and Data Acquisition) is used to monitor the process.

The field of automation has had a notable impact in a wide range of industries beyond

manufacturing. Automation is the use of control systems and information technologies to reduce

the need for human work in the production of goods and services. In the scope of industrialization,

automation is a step beyond mechanization. Whereas mechanization provides human operators

with machinery to assist them with the muscular requirements of work, automation greatly Sahrdaya College of Engineering and Technology

26


decreases the need for human sensory and mental requirements as well. Automation plays an

increasingly important role in the world economy. One of the important applications of automation

is in the soft drink and other beverage industries, where a particular liquid has to be filled

continuously. For these kinds of applications. The trend is moving away from the individual device

or machine toward continuous automation solutions. Totally Integrated Automation puts this

continuity into consistent practice. Totally Integrated Automation covers the complete production

line, from receipt of goods, the production process, filling and packaging, to shipment of goods.

Machines employed for filling of liquids or powders into bottles are called bottle filling

machines. The bottle filling machines are the important machine tools for the packaging process in

various industries like pharmaceutical, chemical, agriculture, food etc. The manual methods of

bottle filling cannot be applied in modern industries with bulk filling requirements as the process

can consume considerable time and may causing spilling or wastage of the products. Consistency

in filling of the bottles can also be yet another issue rising out of the manual bottle filling

processes. Therefore the special devices called bottle filling machines are employed in industrial

packaging processes.

4.1Types of Bottle Filling Machine

The bottle filling machine is available in different formats and specifications and therefore can

be selected to suit diverse requirements of packaging and filling in various industries. Bottle filling

machines are today available for meeting various requirements of filling at the industries. There

are filling machines for round bottle filling, machines for filling square type bottles and machines

available for filling bottles of different shapes and sizes. You can always find a semi or fully

automatic bottle filling machine suitable to your requirements like speed, features and

specifications desired and type of bottles to be filled. All you require to do is find a reliable

machinery supplier to get the most reliable at affordable price.


27


4.2 Reasons for Using an Automatic Bottle Filling Machine

There are various reasons for why automatic bottle filling machines are preferred for industrial

bottle packaging processes.

● An automatic filling machine for bottle filling enables faster processes and therefore helps

in saving lot of time for the users.

● An automatic filling machine is equipped with automatic functionalities and therefore

reduces the labor and production costs in the manufacturing and packaging units.

● Modern filling machines are equipped with latest technology like PLC control which allow

efficient and easy filling processes.

● These are preferred for features like no bottle no filling system and energy saving which

help in saving the energy consumed while reducing product wastage during the process.

● These machines are designed for accurate and consistent filling operations.

Therefore with an automatic filling machine one can ensure speed and easy filling processes to

ensure efficient filling of liquids or powders into bottles without wastage.

CHAPTER 5

RESULT AND ANALYSIS

The project on AUTOMATED BOTTLE FILLING SYSTEM is completed successfully.

The product that the group has developed will help in initial used in the small scale industries to

fill the bottle or any other vessel.. The change in resistance is sensed by the sensor . the bottle will

be filled automatically if it is kept in front of LED.It will stop filling if the bottle is filled to the

desired limit.


28


We planned to use the load cell as the sensor but the output from load cell has not been

available .Thus we changed the load cell instead of that we used LDR to detect the water level.

At first we used 555 timer to adjust the time but due to inconvenience we modified the

circuit without a timer but instead we used gates.

On progression of the project we came over the problem of calculation for the application

of conveyer belt and to rotate the tray where we are keeping the bottles. Due to short time period

we were unable to complete the automation in moving the tray.

Now we have successfully completed the automation in filling the bottle and we should

manually move the bottle.Thus we completed our project on the topic Signal Processing and

Signalling by making a working model of AUTOMATED BOTTLE FILLING SYSTEM

CHAPTER 6

CONCLUSION

This is the project which can reduce the time as well as manpower consumption in medical as

well as in industrial field.Earlier huge machines were used for bottle filling system.The complexity

in the design of this machines was a cumbersome job for engineers as well as labourers.Here we

bring our innovation as a biomedical engineer.We are introducing an Automated Bottle Filling

System in a miniature form with simple design.

The approaching of this automated system can be an asset for society.The main advantage of our

new product is a simple logic is used here .As an engineer and all above as students we could find


29


different ways to get into the product and it also helped us to clear all the challenges that we had

faced during the completion of this project with our simple logics.

We can ensure that our product will be a great success since it is affordable by everyone, and it

will be a new rise in industries for their large scale productions using our idea.By passing through

the different stages of this project we could understand the various aspects of a manufacturing

process.Since our product also involves mechanical and electrical processes we could understand

more about those areas also.

Here we have presented a miniature form of an Automated bottle filling system which can be used

in industries with developed version in future
