    摘要: An improved method and apparatus for a liquid filling system is herein disclosed incorporating means for generating greater overall production rate efficiencies (i.e. number of filled containers per minute per filling station) for automatic systems utilizing diverter valve and/or walking beam (i.e. continuous-motion) filling technologies with, for example, non-traditional ratios between the number of filling stations and the number of filling nozzles. The methods/apparatus disclosed herein also incorporate means to more efficiently changeover and clean up, in either a clean-in-place (CIP) or clean-out-of-place (COP) configuration, the product contact parts that become “dirty” when used in a production environment. Finally, an improved method and apparatus designed to provide a means for priming and air purging the product contact path of liquid filling machinery, a fill volume calibration procedure, and a fill weight verification cycle is also herein described.

    摘要: A filling machine including a manifold having a supply inlet and supply outlet and one or more nozzles connected to the manifold by individual time controlled valves. A circulation system is provided connecting a supply and the manifold for continuously circulating liquid through the manifold from the supply inlet to overflow the supply outlet such that the supply outlet determines the liquid level in the manifold and the head pressure at one or more nozzles. The manifold is structured to have a manifold section with a supply inlet on the manifold section and a stand pipe connected to the manifold section. The stand pipe includes the supply outlet and is vented to atmosphere. By varying the height of the stand pipe or the location of the outlet, the level within the manifold and the head pressure at the nozzles is adjusted. For sequential filling, bulk fill nozzles are controlled by a single timer and one or more fine fill nozzles are controlled by individual timers.

    摘要: A high-speed filling machine for filling a fluid product into small containers, in which a continuously moving conveyor belt brings empty containers to their filling position underneath filling nozzles, where the empty containers are held stationary by an indexing mechanism while the filling nozzles are lowered into the empty containers, the fluid product is discharged into the containers and upon completion of discharge stroke of the filling units, the nozzles are again raised whereafter the indexing mechanism will release the filled containers for further movement by the conveyor belt; the single channel from the inlet end thereby branches out into two parallel channels upstream of the filling station, each provided with its own indexing mechanism, while a nozzle support structure which raises and lowers the filling nozzles into the containers, is also adapted to reciprocate so that alternately the empty containers in one channel and then in the other channel are filled.
