摘要:
A machine (1) for filling containers (2) has a carousel conveyor (5) having a vertical axis (6) and in turn having a number of filling heads (7), and an equal number of seats (8), each of which houses a respective container (2), is associated with a respective filling head (7), and is connected to the carousel conveyor (5) via the interposition of a weighing device (9) supported in a fixed position by the carousel conveyor (5). Each seat (8) has a frame (10) , which supports a gripper (11) for engaging a top portion (4) of a respective container (2), and a plate (12) defining a horizontal supporting surface for the bottom of the respective container (2), and an adjusting device (13) for adjusting the vertical position of the plate (12), while maintaining the gripper (11) in a given vertical position close to the respective filling head (7).
摘要:
Vessels 2 on a conveying rail 4 are supported by a back guide 8 and are intermittently conveyed by a transfer rake 6. A number of filling nozzles 28 which corresponds to a number of vessels 2 are installed at a filling station F, and the conveying rail has a portion 4A which is elevatable. Metering receptacles 12 connected to load cells 16 are disposed in a manner corresponding to respective filling nozzles 28. These metering receptacles 12 do not contact vessels 2 when the conveying rail portion 4A is raised, but support the vessels when the conveying rail portion 4A is lowered, allowing a mensuration of the weight of vessels 2 by the load cells 16. During a normal filling operation, the conveying rail portion 4A is maintained in its raised position to convey the vessels 2 and performs a filling operation. During a sampling operation, the conveying rail portion 4A is lowered to place vessels 2 on the metering receptacles 12 to perform a mensuration while performing a filling operation. A sampling operation can be performed in a reduced length of time using a simple construction.
摘要:
A machine for continuous filling containers with liquid products includes a carrousel (4), rotating on a vertical shaft (5), and carrying a tank (7), which contains the liquid product (3) to be delivered. The tank (7) is arranged coaxial and integral with the carrousel (4). A delivering element (8) is alternately fed by the tank (7) to deliver a batched quantity of the liquid product (3) to a container (2). The delivering element (8) is situated at the edge of the carrousel (4) and includes substantially a piston (24), which slides axially inside a cylinder (23). The cylinder (23) has a suction aperture (33), set in communication with a feeding channel (22), which connects, in suitable step relation, the tank (7) with the delivering element (8), and a delivery aperture (34), set in communication with a delivery channel (32), which connects in suitable step relation, the delivering element (8) to the container (2). The delivering element (8) shifts the connection of the cylinder (23) to the feeding channel (22) or to the delivery channel (32), to perform respective delivery or suction steps of the product (3). The delivering element (8) includes also means (25) for coupling to the carrousel (4), which can be rapidly dismantled.
摘要:
Containers (2), typically bottles (3), are filled by equipment (1) incorporating a fixed frame (6) and a rotating carousel (7) fitted with a plurality of filler units (8) distributed around the periphery, each comprising a first and a second dispensing outlet (9, 10) connected to respective first and second tanks (11, 12) holding first and second packageable substances, a supporting structure (13) on which to stand a container (2), and an actuator mechanism (15) associated with the supporting structure (13). The supporting structure (13) is caused to alternate by the associated mechanism (15) between a first filling position, in which the first outlet (9) is placed in alignment with a mouth (5) of the respective container (2), and a second filling position in which the second outlet (10) is placed in alignment with the mouth (5) of the container (2), so that the container (2) can be filled with two different substances in the course of a single pass around the carousel.
