We supply machines to fill containers from 100 ml up to 19 litre using a variety of filling technologies.
The filling system used depends on such factors as product, container type, product value and project budget. One way to fill is using an electronic valve
Electronic volumetric fillers
Using magnetic flow meters of mass flow meters as in the case of edible oil filling results in a very precise volume of product in the container reducing wastage. For conductive liquids magnetic flow meters are selected giving very precise filling volumes. This has the benefit of improving product yield and controlling costs. The valve is also self monitoring so as the closing mechanism wears the flow metre automatically compensates for this to give consistent fill volumes throughout the life of the valve. One flow meter is used per valve so that they are all independently adjustable giving greater control. Rather than an annular ring or central bowl we use a manifold which has the great benefit of increasing product yield and reducing wastage at the end of production due to the very low quantity of product in the system.
We can also include :-
– Automatic fill height adjustment
– Jacketed filler bowl when hot filling to ensure no temperature loss
– Automatic divert valve so that a percentage of the product is always returned to the flash pasteuriser or infeed buffer tank to ensure product sterility
– Automatic CIP ups for hygienic cleaning
Some references include 900 bph 19 litre filling with flow meters, 22,000 bph water filling in England with flow meters and 18,000 bph edible oil filling in the Middle East with mass flow meters.
The still product fillers are available as a standard filler or the unique hygienic “baseless” or upside-down filler and as a free standing unit of monobloced with the rinser and capper. If you need hygiene and efficiency then you need “baseless” clean filler.
We have experience of filling many type of products ranging from water to soy sauce to edible oil so are sure to be able to meet your needs in this field.
