GEN4 GRAV/TRONIC®
Fully Automatic Liquid Filling Machine
PLC controlled, fully automatic volumetric gravity liquid filler. Applications include
free flowing to low viscosity and molten products. Fills wide range
of container shapes in volumes from micro liters to 5 liters. Speeds
to 400 CPM. Accuracies up to ± 0.01% dependend upon dose size and product.
Standard Features:
1. Operator interface housed in sealed NEMA 4 stainless
steel enclosure. Programmable Logic Controllers available in your
choice of several major manufacturers, including Allen-Bradley. Operator interface available
in your choice of four line x 20 back lit LCD display, 7.5" color VGA touch screen or PC based
industrial work station with 15" active matrix touch screen display.
2. Easy operator interface access to every filler control function.
3. Indexing system includes permanent reference scales for easy
and repeatable set-up.
4. Non-volatile memory storage of all machine set-up data, with
one-key "recipe" loading.
5. Machine base frame is fabricated from sanitary welded 2"
x 2" square 304 stainless steel tube. The base is fully enclosed
in 504 stainless steel sheeting and is designed to minimize floor
space requirements. The base supports the diving nozzle system,
conveyor, indexing hardware and system operator interface. The PLC
and related electronics are mounted in a remotable stainless steel
NEMA 4 enclosure.
6. Bottom-up filling system features no-tool set-up, 14" adjustable
dive distance and nozzle kickout safety system. Permanently attached
reference scales for easy, repeatable set-up.
7. Sanitary (solid top, 1-1/2" raised chain bed) stainless
steel conveyor 10' long with 4-1/2" Delrin chain and variable
speed DC motor drive. Includes four stainless steel guiderails with
no-tool adjustment hardware.
8. Sanitary/sterile 316L stainless steel product reservoir with
precision mass sensing level control system. Each fill position
has its own unique non-invasive cassette load pinch valve cut-off
system. Product contact parts include 316L stainless steel, Teflon
and silicone tubing. Product feed systems include peristaltic pump
or actuated valve methods.
9. Availale with Oden's exclusive Digibar control system for superior control of product feed and flow.

How Oden's GEN4 GRAV/TRONIC Works
Oden's Generation3 PLC controlled GRAV/TRONIC is a volumetric gravity
filler. The GRAV/TRONIC uses precision electronics to exactly control
fill volume based on timed flow. The Generation3 design relies upon
the well understood principle that Earth's gravity is extremely
stable and constant. Because this is true, when a low viscosity
liquid is elevated above a filling nozzle it will flow through the
nozzle at a very defined and extremely repeatable rate. Oden's system
electronically controls this flow for a precise and repeatable time
interval, and this establishes a precise and repeatable fill dose
or volume. The flow rate can be easily and precisely varied by changing
the elevation distance of the liquid above the filling nozzle.

Oden will guarantee machine performance in writing, upon the positive conclusion of testing done with your products
and containers. Oden takes the risk our of buying a liquid filler. Call today to make arrangements for our free
