Types Of Fillers
1. Over Flow Liquid Filler2. Servo Pump Liquid Filler3. Peristaltic Liquid Filler4. Time Gravity Liquid Filler5. Piston Liquid filler
Types of filler
This type of filler is perhaps the most widely used machine in small bottle filling operations because it handles a wide range of thin, free flowing liquids as well as liquids with medium viscosity.
Over Flow Liquid Filler
The supply side (dark blue) of a two part nozzle is used to pump product into the container.
How does it works?
When the container fills up to the target fill height, the excess product and foam is forced out of the container (red arrows) via the return side to the original product source tank.
Advantages
Overflow Filler Selection Guide
High performance,Easy to clean,Easy to operate,Expandable at low cost,Offers greatest flexibility at lowest cost.
Examples
Sauces,Syrups,Light gels and shampoos,Foamy cleansers and chemicals,Water and other non carbonated aqueous beverages.
Application:This type of filler is best suited for
liquids with low to medium viscosity. liquids with solid particulates not exceeding 1/16" can also be filled. Note that overflow fillers are the machine of choice in handling very foamy products at higher speeds.
This is a very versatile filling machine capable of filling nearly any type of product that can be pumped. Each nozzle has a dedicated servo controlled pump that can deliver thin liquids, medium and thick viscosity liquids, and liquids with large particulates.
Servo Pump Liquid Filler
The filler's master computer independently tracks the rotation of each pump head so that it knows precisely how much product has been delivered.
How does it works?
When the target fill volume is reached, each pump and nozzle is instantly shut off, resulting in high accuracy fills of your valuable products. The computer stores all fill parameters in memory for fast changeovers.
Advantages
Servo Positive Displacement Filler Selection Guide
computer control & Operator setup is greatly simplified. The design also lends itself very well to sanitary applications due to the ease of automatic cleaning.
• Examples
The servo filler is found in all industries from pharmaceutical, cosmetic, dairy, chemical, food, etc. Both thin and thick products, and also very large particulates can all be filled on this machine. Cosmetic creams as well as thick, chunky sauces at pasteurized temperatures can all be filled.
Application:It is extremely flexible and designed to fill almost any product in any fill volume. Even 55 gallon drums can be filled.
This filler is the machine of choice for high value; small volume fills at very high accuracy. It is primarily suitable for aqueous and other light viscosity products.
Peristaltic liquid filler
The peristaltic pump makes intermittent contact on only the outside of the surgical (product) tubing so that the product only touches the inside of the tubing. The filler's master computer independently tracks the # of rotations of the peristaltic pump head so that it knows precisely how much product has been delivered. When the target fill
volume is reached, the pump stops and the remaining product fluid does not drip out due to pipette action. The computer stores all fill parameters in memory for fast changeovers.
Advantages
Fluid path is disposable; easy cleanup and elimination of cross contamination problems. Accuracies of 0.5% are achievable for fill volumes less than 1 ml.
• Examples Pharmaceutical preparations, fragrances, essential oils, reagents, inks, dyes, and specialty chemicals.
Application:Specifically designed for high value, small volume fills at very high accuracy. Suitable for aqueous and other light viscosity products.
This is the most economical type of filling machine for a limited range of applications. This filler is best suited for liquids with very thin viscosities that do not change with ambient temperature or with batch variation.
Time Gravity liquid filler
The product bulk supply is pumped into a holding tank above a set of pneumatically operated valves. Each valve is independently timed by the filler's master computer so that precise amounts of liquid will flow by gravity into the container. Gravity fillers
built with bottom up fill capability can handle a wide range of flow able liquids including foamy products.
• Advantages
This is the most economical type of filling machine for a limited range of applications. It is especially well suited for corrosive chemicals.
• Examples
Water, solvents, alcohol, specialty chemicals, paint, inks, corrosive chemicals i.e. acids and bleach.
This type of filler is best suited for liquids with very thin viscosities that do not change with ambient temperature or with batch variation. Although this type of filler is used predominantly on products that do not foam.
• Application:
The piston filler is one of the oldest and most reliable types of fillers used in the packaging industry. This filling machine is best suited for viscous products that are paste, semi paste, or chunky with large particulates.
Piston liquid filler
The piston is drawn back in its cylinder so that the product is sucked into the cylinder. A rotary valve then changes position so that the product is then pushed out of the nozzle instead of back into the hopper.
How does it Work?
Piston Filler Selection Guide
• AdvantagesThis lower cost conventional technology is easy to understand for most users. Fast fill rates are achievable with fairly thick products. Warning: this technology is nearly obsolete with the advent of servo positive displacement fillers.
• Examples Heavy sauces,cosmetic creams, heavy shampoo, gels, and conditioners, paste cleaners and waxes, adhesives, heavy oils and lubricants.
These piston fillers are built to meet food grade standards and can also handle various chemical applications.
