摘要:
This container-filling apparatus fills containers in an automatically controlled, sequential operation which assures positive control over filling of the containers with a desired volumetric quantity of the liquid. Each container is supported during the filling operation for proper orientation of the fill opening and for support of the container''s sidewalls. Filling is accomplished by insertion of a liquid-dispensing nozzle through the fill opening at the initiation of a fill operation and subsequent relative separating movement of the container and nozzle at a rate which maintains the discharge orifice of the dispensing nozzle immersed in the liquid to prevent foaming of the liquid. The container is filled in accordance with volumetric capacity limits with the volume of liquid dispensed into each container being determined by a flowmeter incorporating an electromagnetic transducer thereby minimizing the possibility of liquid contamination through avoidance of direct physical contact between the liquid and external indicating components of the flowmeter.
