Real customer question

We need to fill honey into disposable spoon-shaped containers, then cover with film and heat seal. Honey is affected by temperature, and the spoons are thin. How should samples be prepared to turn feeding, filling, film placement, and sealing into an acceptable equipment solution?

First determine the packaging route

The FS310 uses a rotary multi-station design to organize spoon feeding, metered filling, film feeding, heat sealing, and finished product output. The real determinants are spoon consistency, honey condition, target fill volume, film heat seal layer, and acceptance method.

Custom turntable route with manual spoon placement

Suitable for: projects where automatic spoon dropping is not yet stable and the priority is to confirm filling, film placement, and heat sealing core processes. Advantages: reduces spoon feeding variables first, focusing sample tests on turntable tooling, filling cut-off, and film heat sealing. Limitations: manual spoon placement affects full cycle time and staffing and cannot represent automatic spoon dropping capacity. Not recommended: when the project explicitly requires unmanned continuous spoon feeding and a stable verifiable spoon batch exists, do not estimate based only on the manual route. Equipment direction: use YJ-FS310 as the main machine, first confirm process boundaries under manual spoon placement.

Rotary multi-station route with automatic spoon dropping

Suitable for: projects with stable spoon dimensions and materials, wanting continuous feeding, filling, film, heat sealing, and output. Advantages: FS310 uses a rotary multi-station process; automatic spoon dropping is further confirmed as a project configuration. Limitations: overlapping, deformation, static, and batch variation of thin-walled spoons may affect separation and positioning. Not recommended: automatic spoon dropping cycle time should be based on stability tests with sufficient same-batch spoons. Equipment direction: use YJ-FS310 as the main machine, customize feeding, turntable tooling, and film tooling according to spoon samples.

General cup/box filling and sealing route

Suitable for: projects where containers are not spoon-shaped and can be stably positioned by regular cup/box stations. Advantages: regular cups/boxes can be compared with rotary cup/box filling and sealing machines or small cup filling and sealing machines. Limitations: general cup/box stations cannot naturally equate to spoon handle positioning, spoon feeding, or spoon rim film heat sealing. Not recommended: when containers have obvious spoon handles, thin walls, or irregular positioning requirements, do not treat general cup machines as direct substitutes. Equipment direction: only when the packaging object changes to regular cups/boxes, compare cup/box type equipment.

Recommended equipment route: Step 1: Spoon body and honey samples

First, confirm with actual samples that the spoon body strength, honey condition, and filling cutoff can provide stable test conditions.

Recommended equipment route: Step 2: Rotary multi-station main machine

The main machine organizes spoon body feeding, metered filling, film feeding, heat sealing, and finished product output in sequence.

Recommended equipment route: Step 3: Film feeding confirmation

Film separation, orientation, and heat seal layer must be confirmed with actual samples; independent film feeding equipment is only evaluated when the project requires it.

Recommended equipment route: Step 4: Finished product sealing acceptance

First, accept the filling and sealing according to the agreed method; appearance screening is only a project option and cannot replace leak or peel tests.

Recommended equipment route: Step 5: Compare alternative routes only for regular cups/boxes

Only when the packaging object changes to regular cups or boxes should cup/box main machines be compared; spoon handle positioning and spoon body feeding still follow the FS310 custom route.

Associated Equipment / Consumables

Sample details

01Honey spoon actual samples

Same-batch spoons and complete dimensions are used to verify turntable positioning, rim support, and film coverage; the final solution still requires trial assembly with actual samples.

Provide actual spoons, complete dimension drawings, and sufficient same-batch samples
02Honey flow condition

The viscosity, stringing, and crystallization of honey at the planned production temperature affect feeding, metering, and filling nozzle cut-off.

Describe honey temperature, viscosity, crystallization tendency, and whether it contains particulates
03Fill volume acceptance

Target fill volume and tolerance judgment should be explained with actual honey and spoons to establish metering verification methods and sampling rules.

Specify the target fill volume per spoon and the acceptance method for allowable tolerance
04Film feeding conditions

Film shape, heat seal layer, and stacking direction determine separation and film placement testing; usability cannot be judged by film name alone.

Provide film material, thickness, heat seal layer, shape, and feeding direction
05Spoon feeding automation boundary

Manual spoon placement and automatic spoon dropping are different feeding scopes; clarify incoming material orientation, replenishment method, and operator responsibility first.

Specify the expected boundary of manual spoon placement or automatic spoon dropping
06Seal standards and utilities

Submit qualified seal samples, peel or leak criteria, and on-site power and air supply together to verify acceptance and installation conditions.

Provide seal appearance, peel or leak requirements, and on-site power and air supply

Common selection mistakes

01Treating honey only as a liquid
02Using cups instead of spoons for testing
03Providing only the film diameter
04Assuming automatic spoon dropping is the default configuration
05Fixing accuracy without actual material testing
06Treating seal appearance as the only acceptance criterion

Common questions

01Can the FS310 only handle honey?

It can be evaluated for honey or similar flowable materials, but viscosity, temperature, particulates, and cleaning requirements must be re-tested with samples.

02Can the spoons be fed automatically?

Manual spoon placement or automatic spoon dropping is confirmed per project; the automatic option requires sufficient same-batch spoons for stability testing.

03Is the film fed automatically by the machine?

The FS310 includes a film feeding process; specific separation, orientation, and tooling are confirmed based on actual film samples.

04When can filling accuracy be confirmed?

No, the allowable tolerance must be confirmed together using actual honey, target quantity, and continuous sample runs.

05How can honey contamination of the spoon rim be avoided?

During sample runs, feeding, metering, cut-off, and spoon positioning must be adjusted together and checked according to the agreed method.

06What is the relationship between this machine and a tube tail sealing machine?

There is no direct process substitution relationship; the FS310 handles spoon-shaped container filling, film feeding, and heat sealing.
