Fillers for packaging machines

Magnetic Inductive Flowmeter Bopp & Reuther Mass Flowmeter Endress Hausser For conductive liquids and pasty products composed of:

Pressurized hopper of 80 litres capacity made of sanitized 316 stainless steel including a two-way valve for product return
Electronically controlled inductive measuring system that actuates directly on the filling nozzles
Sanitized nozzles made of 316 stainless steel with pneumatic product cut-off system
Electronic independent control box with alpha-numeric display to pre-set fill doses and statistical display of all needed data
Filling accuracy +/- 1%

This is a filling system for free and non-free flowing products as well as dusty and volatile products.
There are two different versions of the auger filler – A/C motor with a clutch/brake system or D/C servo-motor.
In both cases, the fill dose is pre-set in a counter on the touch screen. When using a clutch/brake unit, the count is made by the impulses of a transductor through a fast count input of the PLC. This system is more economical, but needs periodic maintenance in the clutch/brake and is not possible to adjust the speed of the screw. Accuracy is around +/- 1’5 % for most products.
When using a servo-motor, the accuracy and the stop position is always exact with no inertias. This system does not require any maintenance and allows the speed to be adjusted along with acceleration/deacceleration of the curves of the screw. The link with the PLC is made through a port of communication RS 485. Accuracy is around +/- 1 for most products. The auger fillers are available in simplex, duplex, triplex or cuadrúplex versions.

This system is used for free flowing products that due to their characteristics cannot be dosed using a conventional system.
The vibratory filler is composed of stainless steel vibratory bowls, which provide a continous flow of product into the vibratory channels that are synchronized to the machine cycle. Vibration intensity can be adjusted to the characteristics of the product.
