Gravity liquid filler
Zacmi Food and Beverage
The new generation of gravity fillers are designed to fill liquid products into rigid containers, such as glass jars and aluminium or in plate cans.
The containers which has to be filled can already contain product, such as: fruit, peeled tomatoes, tuna fish, meat and vegetables, etc.
Function of the machine
The table top chain conveyor, transports the containers to the infeed screw, which has a variable pitch, thus consenting the synchronisation and the infeeding of the containers into the infeed starwheel, which then transfers the containers to the filler. At the beginning of the filling area the container is lifted by the can lifting plate, which brings the container into contact with the filling valve. Another slight elevation of the container then brings it into contact with a valve which opens and permits the flotation of the product into the container.
When filling has been effected, the descending of the container automatically permits a spring to put the valve into the closing position. When the descending of the containers has terminated, they are taken from the filler to the seamer or the capper
