Equipment -
Can fillers are designed to fill cans with a certain volume of liquid,
paste, or other type of product. Can fillers can be designed with
different types of mechanisms to determine the proper volume of
product to be filled including, piston fillers, liquid fillers, and
pocket fillers. Can fillers are similar in operation to liquid and
powder filler with the largest difference being that can fillers are
specifically designed to handle cans while liquid and powder fillers
are designed to handle glass, plastic, and other types of containers.
Piston Can Filler
use a piston to measure out the proper volume of product to insert
into the can. As the piston is drawn up, the piston draws in product
from the product holding to fill the piston. Once the piston is full,
a rotary drum valve, which controls the direction of inflow and
discharge of product from the piston, is rotated so that as the piston
compresses it will push the product out of the piston and into a can.
Once the piston has emptied, the drum valve is rotated back so that as
the piston is drawn up, the piston will draw product from the product
hold tank. Piston can fillers can be used for liquids and pastes.
Liquid Can Fillers
are similar to liquid gravity fillers in that gravity can fillers
utilize the pressure of gravity on a liquid product to fill the
product into the can. Gravity can fillers plunge a nozzle into the can
that has a gasket that forms a seal with the top of the can. The
nozzle on the liquid can filler then opens to allow product to flow
from the product hold tank. Once the liquid reaches a level above the
filling ports in the nozzle, the head pressure above the liquid in the
can is equal to the pressure above the liquid in the product hold
tank. Once this occurs, the liquid stops flowing into the can. As the
nozzle is raised out of the can, the nozzle closes to prevent more
product from entering the can.
