Rotary Weight Filler Machine

Linear Filler with Flow Meters for Viscous Product The linear machine is the perfect solution for companies that need to use different sized bottles, changing over from one size to another rapidly.

A powered conveyor carries the bottles into the machine.

Two pneumatic devices stop the incoming bottles underneath the nozzle while a photocell detects bottle presence and provides the fill signal. The filling system consists of cocks with electromagnetic or mass flow meters, depending on the product to be filled. An electromagnetic meter is employed in the food and dairy industries. A mass meter is used in the natural, vegetable and mineral oil industry.

The machine can be equipped with a de-aeration system, for products that require it.

A quick relief valve is installed at the manifold outlet.

The filling nozzles are designed to satisfy a wide range of dosing requirements. They may have one or two openings.

They may be heated electrically with suitable elements or hydraulically with diathermic oil or hot water.

A suitably sized air circuit (microfiltered) is used for lectropneumatic control.

One or more nozzles can be installed in each machine at a later time to satisfy the client’s future production requirements.

The filler is able to work with net weight or gross weight fillers, according to the client’s production requirements.

The filling system basically consists of a number of filling heads controlled by load cell. A powered conveyor carries the containers into the machine. An assembly separates and transfers the container underneath the filling nozzle one by one. In the net weight version, the station with load cell checks the container tare and zeroes the weight prior to filling. The load cell weighs the container during the filling until the correct amount of product is detected in the bottle, the electronic system is able to compensate the flying product even if the viscosity will change during the production. Once filled, the container is conveyed to the machine exit or beneath the capping station. Each weighing is stored and processed by the central filling system to make corrections during the next filling steps.

The product can be supplied with tank and level control fed constantly by a lobe or gear pump or by a direct pump controlled by an inverter.

Laminar flow nozzle with double opening

Pick & Place Capping Machine The free standing or “tower” version of the capping machine can be supplied in order to complete the filler. The capping tower is completely mechanical. It is driven by a single gear motor coupled directly to the central shaft.

Upward and downward motion of the capping head is achieved thanks to a desmodromic cam while the head may be driven by a speed variator or brushless motor, depending on the type of caps handled. In the case of mechanical rotation, the capping head has a magnetic clutch, whereas if a brushless motor is employed, the tightening torque for the bottles or the final capping position is controlled by the electronic control system in real time.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
