Six head gear pump filler equipment provides fully automatic, measured filling into containers on a conveyor-fed line. Two-head, four-head and six-head arrangements can be considered, with the pump selection based on the product, container and required accuracy.
Automatic filling cycle
Containers enter on a conveyor. A pneumatic gate positions the required containers beneath the filling heads and isolates the remaining containers on the line. The filling cycle then operates to a preset count.
Gear pump options
Gear pumps are available with nominal rates of 5, 10, 17 and 35 litres per minute, based on water at ambient temperature and excluding cycle time. The filling accuracy, product characteristics and container size determine the correct pump selection.
Nozzle and diving system
Each filling nozzle has a positive shut-off valve that stops product flow at the end of the cycle and helps prevent excess dripping. A short-stroke diving system is fitted. A full diving system can be specified for suitable products where reduced foaming is required.
Hopper control and construction
A product hopper tank is supplied and controlled pneumatically by a modulating valve, probe or level switch. The PLC-controlled machine is manufactured from stainless steel and non-ferrous materials.
