Clean, Precise Filling of Foamy Liquids
APPLICATION
Clean, precise filling of foamy, messy-to-fill products into 64,
85, and 128 ounce containers, with stringent requirements for filling,
clean-up and product changeover.
LIQUID FILLER
An 8 head GEN4 PRO/FILL 3000 volumetric liquid filler with a custom subsurface
diving nozzle track system and a fully automated CIP (clean-in-place)
sequencing system was designed for this customer's application.
To ensure precise, clean fills of even the most difficult to handle foamy products,
ie. no leaky seals and no product spills on container, machine or
floor, the filler is fitted with a vacuum aspiration system, GEN2
positive shut-off nozzles, and a specially designed subsurface diving
nozzle track filling system.
Clean-up and changeover are completed quickly and easily with design features
that include an optional fully automated CIP sequencing system,
Waukesha pumps vertically mounted to facilitate self-draining, 'no-tool/no
changeparts' changeover adjustments, and standard PLC recipe loading
for 'one-touch' set-up for the next product run.
Other Major Design Features
- Fully automated CIP sequencing system.
- A custom subsurface diving nozzle track filling system fitted with vacuum aspirated GEN2 positive shut-off nozzles.
- Fill area safety ventilation enclosure.
- Stainless steel container neck capture system.
- System hardware that includes an Allen Bradley PLC and a PC based industrial workstation with active matrix color touch screen.
IN CONCLUSION
This volumetric filler provides clean, precise filling of foamy, messy-to-handle
liquids into 64 to 128 ounce containers, and easily meets all requirements
for clean-up and product changeover.
