Concept Development of Compact Automatic Filling Machine (CAFM)

Abstract

Activities of daily life are effective with increased involvement and excitement. Manufacturers, especially who are concerned about health-related products, offers and keep improving their products with extreme convenience function and innovative design to meet customer’s requirements satisfaction. An average amount of water intake of people has increased in the recent years and thus, rising consumption of bottled water. This key factor drives the bottled water packaging market globally. A home water treatment unit is even though the popular choice for investing and saving money, people are highly concern on wastage, especially spilling water during the filling process. A Compact Automatic Filling Machine (CAFM) proposed in this research study, allows automatic bottling to fulfil the basic need of drinking water with concern to speed. In addition, the paper proposed a novel idea of filling instead of the general approach of filling one by one. The proposed innovative filling approach provides better and easy interfacing panel with multi-filling platform. It can be installed in various large-scale consumer service providers including canteen, school and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to introduce refilling for selling bottles. Further, high-income earners and elders who require assistance can also use it as it requires minimum time and human-labour involvement. Refilling of bottles not only saves the cost of buying a new packaged drinking water but also reduces the number of disposable plastic water bottles consumption.
