Antifreeze Filling Lines – Automated Filling Solution for Glycol-Based Coolants
Antifreeze filling lines
are used in the automotive chemicals, lubricants and chemical industries.
glycol-based coolants (radiator antifreeze and similar products)
It is designed for automatic, precise and repeatable filling.
Mainly based on monoethylene glycol (MEG) and monopropylene glycol (MPG)
concentrated and ready-to-use radiator antifreezes,
such as engine cooling and heat transfer fluids
Low-medium viscosity chemical products are placed in drums, bottles and tin packages.
It provides standard filling based on kg or liter.
When the selection of materials used in line design and the type of flowmeter are made appropriately;
glass water, winter glass water and similar automotive care chemicals
can be filled on the same line. For products with very high viscosity, granular or pasty consistency
If antifreeze filling lines are not suitable; Different filling technologies for this type of product
(cream filling lines, loadcell weighing systems, etc.) should be evaluated.
1. In Which Areas Are Antifreeze Filling Lines Used?
The antifreeze filling line is basically preferred in automotive and chemical enterprises:
- Automotive chemicals manufacturers
- Factories producing radiator antifreeze
- Automotive sub-industry chemicals (car care products)
- Lubricant and chemical production facilities
- Companies that produce engine oil + antifreeze + other auto fluids in the same facility
- As a separate antifreeze filling line within oil & chemical filling facilities
- Industrial chemical filling plants
- Companies producing glycol-based coolants, heat transfer fluids
- Bottling / packaging plants, logistics & packaging companies
- Manufacturers who fill contract antifreeze for different brands
- Co-packing businesses working with different brands / labels on the same line
In short; Antifreeze filling lines are the ideal solution for users of:
- Antifreeze manufacturers
- Auto chemicals manufacturers
- Lubricant & chemical plants
- Contract filling / packaging companies
2. Which Substances Are Filled?
While the basic product is radiator antifreeze , the antifreeze filling line generally
of the same character, suitable for glycol-based chemical liquids .
Main Product Group
- Radiator antifreeze (automotive)
- Antifreezes based on monoethylene glycol (MEG)
- Antifreezes based on monopropylene glycol (MPG)
- Concentrated antifreeze
- Ready-to-use (diluted) antifreeze
- Engine coolants
- Industrial heat transfer and refrigeration fluids (glycol-based)
Other frequently filled products on the same line (depending on facility preference)
If the facility infrastructure and the material/gasket/flowmeter types used are suitable,
The following products can also be filled on the same antifreeze filling line:
- Windshield water / windscreen washer fluid
- Auto glass defroster / winter glass water
- Some auto chemicals and car care products
- Radiator cleaner / radiator additive fluids
- Water-based, fluid preservative chemicals
When using the same line for different chemicals, the following topics must be taken into consideration:
- Material strength (stainless steel grade, hose & seal structure, etc.)
- Chemical Compatibility: Chemical compatibility of equipment such as gaskets, pumps, flowmeters, valves with the product
- Risk of cross-contamination: Correct implementation of cleaning / CIP (Cleaning in Place) procedures in transitions between products
3. Viscosity, Product Characteristics and Filling Technologies Used
Antifreeze in general:
- Low – medium viscosity,
- Similar to or slightly denser than water,
- It is a glycol-based chemical liquid.
For this reason, antifreeze filling lines are mostly:
- Filling systems with flowmeters (filling with magnetic or mass flowmeters),
- Servo volumetric filling technologies
preferred. In these systems, volumetric precision and repeatability are at the forefront.
Especially
8-nozzle flowmeter filling lines
for antifreeze and similar fluid chemicals
It offers a combination of high speed and precision.
4. Prominent Advantages of Antifreeze Filling Line
-
Special design for glycol-based products:
Material and flowmeter selection for MEG/MPG based antifreezes and heat transfer fluids
It is designed according to these chemicals from the beginning.
-
Precise and repeatable filling:
Thanks to volumetric filling with flowmeter or servo, in every package
the same volume and/or weight is provided.
-
Multi-pack compatibility:
In bottle, drum and tin packaging; It can be adapted to different weights such as 1 L, 3 L, 5 L, 10 L, 20 L and so on.
-
Integrated solution for automotive chemicals:
Windshield water, radiator cleaner and some auto chemicals, when the appropriate material is selected
can be filled on the same line.
-
High production efficiency:
Integrated with automatic capping, labeling, and end-of-line equipment
It can be converted into a fully automatic antifreeze filling and packaging line .
-
Quality and brand image:
Smooth, leak-proof and standard filling; In the eyes of dealers and end users
strengthens brand perception.
5. Unsuitable Product Types and Considerations
-
Very high viscosity products:
Antifreeze line is not suitable for products such as tomato paste, paste, high-density creams;
Cream filling lines
or
Loadcell Weighing Filling
systems should be evaluated.
-
Granular / particulate products:
Products containing coarse particles, granules or solid particles; flowmeter, pump and
It poses a risk of blockage in the valves.
-
Chemical Compatibility:
The line is designed to provide material strength and chemical compatibility for all products to be filled.
It should be checked separately in terms of
