Why Net Weight Filling? | Container specifications | Filling operation | Customers benefit from | Operating speeds
Net weight filling equipment is more expensive than other conventional
filling methods, but the filling accuracy provides major cost savings.
These cost savings increase, as the product to be filled becomes more
expensive. Non-contact filling also allows ultra clean filling applications.
Why Net Weight Filling?
|
|
• Measures product only.
• Can handle aerated product.
• Accurate filling.
• Product saving.
• Shorter payback on capital expense.

Filling operation
|
|
• Pneumatically actuated valves therefore an automatic no bottle no fill function.
• Weigh checked before and after filling.
• Non-contact filling valve.
• Robust scale design manufactured from stainless steel with an accurate sampling rate of 600 samples per second with a standard deviation of 1.6 grams.

Customers benefit from:
|
|
• Quick release change parts
• Smooth infeed of containers
• Versatile container handling
• No container no fill functionality minimizes product wastage
• Easy operation of filler from base mounted control panels
• Variable speed control
• Interactive touch screen on control panel to ensure production friendly operation
• High level of hygiene obtainable from a full CIP and Surface Sanitation system
• Contamination from caps eliminated by a cap sterilizing system
• Contamination of air in filling environment eliminated by a HEPA filter system
• A safe working environment ensured by full safety guarding which conforms to international safety standards
|
|
| Operating speeds |
|
Speeds of 50-600 BPM are achievable – final filling speeds are determined by product, viscosity, filling temperature and foaming characteristics as well as bottle design and neck opening.
