摘要: A filler unit comprising:
a container filling valve (50), the filling valve including a shuttle (200) movable between an open position corresponding to a first flow rate through the filling valve, a closed position corresponding to no flow through the filling valve, and a low flow setpoint position corresponding to a non-zero second flow rate through the filling valve, wherein the second flow rate is less the first flow rate;
an actuator (80) comprising a first chamber (552, 553) and a barrier (551) coupled to the shuttle, wherein the barrier is movable to alternately increase a volume of the first chamber or to decrease the volume of the first chamber;
a flow path from the first chamber; and
a control valve (557, 557') positioned in the flow path and having a blocked position in which fluid flow is blocked and an unblocked position in which fluid flow is unblocked.摘要翻译: 一种填充单元,包括:容器填充阀(50),所述填充阀包括可在通过所述填充阀对应于第一流量的打开位置之间移动的梭子(200),对应于不流过所述填充阀的关闭位置, 以及对应于通过所述填充阀的非零第二流量的低流量设定点位置,其中所述第二流量小于所述第一流量; 致动器(80)包括联接到所述梭的第一室(552,553)和屏障(551),其中所述屏障可移动以交替地增加所述第一室的体积或减小所述第一室的体积; 来自第一室的流路; 以及位于流动路径中并且具有阻塞位置的控制阀(557,557'),其中流体流动被阻挡,并且未阻塞的位置,其中流体流动被阻挡。

摘要: A container filling valve may include a shuttle and a drive sleeve that are magnetically coupled. Movement of the drive sleeve may move the shuttle from a position in which the filling valve is closed to a position in which the filling valve is open. A container handling arm may include a distal end configured to hold a container and a proximal end that includes a load cell. A low flow setpoint system may be configured to arrest closing of a filling valve when that filling valve is partially closed. A pressure control system may be configured to maintain a desired pressure in a reservoir or in a flow path from that reservoir. A product recirculation system may be configured to adjust flow rate in the product recirculation system.
