www.bid-on-equipment.com SERIES H MOLTEN PRODUCTS FILLERS

•Fill liquids or liquified solids at temperatures from ambient to 200° F.

•Accuracy to ±1% or better. •Patented transparent heated

chamber opens easily for volume adjustments or mainte-nance.*

•Optional product recirculating system prevents suspensions from settling out.

•2 to 14 nozzles. 24 or more nozzles available on request.

•Production rates to 300 cpm.

Filamatic Series H "Controlled Environment" Fillers provide a simple, trouble-free method of filling liquids or liquified solids at temperatures up to 200° Faren-heit. Fills molten liquids such as stick deodorants, candle wax, lip pomade, petrolatum base products, and similar materials with ease and precision. Or, simply deactivate the heating system to fill liquids at room temperature. Fill volumetrically from lcc to 1100cc per stroke with better than ±1% accuracy -no need to overfill to meet label requirements.

Description The entire system, including the Filling Units, holding tank or manifold, intake hose, and nozzles are contained in an enclosed transparent chamber. During operation, the nozzles descend from openings in the chamber, discharge the liquid, then retract when the fill cycle is completed. Filling Units are mounted in an easy to reach horizontal position, in full view of the operator. Lift off easily for cleaning or change-over. Hinged and/or sliding Lexan panels provide unobstructed access for volumetric adjust-ment, or for removing or install-ing the Filling Units. Tempera-ture of the enclosed chamber is easily adjusted by a calibrated dial.

Model H-7000E-R

New Improved Design FSV Filling Units are mounted in a horizontal position inside a ther-mostatically controlled, heated chamber. Prevents product build-up of suspended solids on the piston heads and eliminates air entrapment for increased filling precision. The drive bar assembly is mounted on linear bearings for improved fill accuracy. Permits the use of a single micrometer volume control for adjusting the fill volume, which greatly simplifies set up and changeover.

Easy To Use Filamatic molten products fillers are easy to set up and use, even for inexperienced personnel. The temperature in the heated cham-ber is preset with a single control. Operating temperature in the enclosure is indicated by a digital read out. Turn a single micrometer control to adjust the fill volume. Saves set up and changeover time. Optional Dial-A-Fill® "fine tune" volume adjustments can be pro-vided for each nozzle. Filling Units lift off easily for cleaning. Nozzle bracket and conveyor guide rails are adjusted with ratcheted hand levers - no tools are required.

Spool Valve Filling Units Type FSV spool valve Filling Units adapt the versatile Filamatic Series H molten products fillers for use with a wide range of liquids, including products with a high concentration of particulates. These positive displacement piston pumps are equipped with air-operated shuttle valves in lieu of ball check valves. Fill free-flowing or viscous materials at temperatures ranging from ambient to 200° Fahrenheit. Fill from a gravity supply, floor mounted tank, or a pressurized source.

• Remote Volume Adjustment As an option, the volume dis-pensed by all Filling Units can be adjusted from outside the con-trolled environment chamber. This eliminates heat loss that might otherwise occur when the cham-ber is opened for volume changes.

User Friendly, Computer Assisted Operation All operations are microprocessor controlled. Provides improved performance and simplifies trouble-shooting if ever required. Available also with an optional digital display that guides the user through the proper start-up procedure, and in the unlikely event of a malfunction, indicates the location and identifies the problem.

Product Recirculating System An optional recirculating system keeps the liquid product in constant motion if the supply of containers is interrupted, or if the machine is manually stopped for break time. This prevents particulate matter from settling out of the liquid, and helps main-

tain the product at a uniform temperature. The Filling Units continue to oper-ate even if the filling operation stops. If the supply of containers is interrupted, a valve will shuttle to direct the product back to the recirculating manifold rather than out the nozzle. The product then returns from the recirculating manifold to the supply loop. Ideal for use with products con-taining particulates that precipi-tate rapidly.

Patented Reciprocating Nozzle System (Optional)

Recommended when high production rates are required. The containers are filled alter-nately in two adjacent lanes. While the containers in one lane are being filled, the containers in the second lane are being in-dexed. Upon completion of the fill cycle in the first lane, the nozzles are repositioned over the containers in the second lane, and the cycle is repeated. By reciprocating the nozzles back and forth over the two lanes, the container transport speed is cut to 1/3 the speed required for a single lane conveyor.

Travelling Fill Head System (Optional)

Filamatic molten products fillers are available with a travelling fill head that dispenses the product into the containers while the containers are in motion on a cooling conveyor. A slow, con-trolled bottom-up fill is used to prevent spillage. The fill heads follow the containers as the product is dispensed. This pro-vides a gentle flow of the product into the container, eliminating sloshing and spillage. Valve-in-tip nozzles deliver clean cut-off of the product. A sliding drip tray provides added assurance that no product will drip onto the bottles or conveyor while the fill heads return to their starting position.

Specifications

Free Testing Service To determine the most suitable Filamatic filler for your needs, we recommend that you submit samples of your products and containers to our test laboratory. Be sure to indicate your production require-ments. A minimum product quantity equal to 20 times the volume of the container to be filled and 12 of each size container is required for a test run. There is no charge for this service and you are not obli-gated in any way.

Explosion Resistant Operation (Optional)

For explosion-resistant operation, Filamatic molten products fillers can be equipped with an optional air logic system in lieu of elec-tronic circuitry. Like a micropro-cessor, the air logic system con-trols all sequential functions. Provides major performance advantages over electrically operated explosion-resistant systems. Reaction time is faster, so production rates are improved. Fewer moving parts increase reliability of the filler. Visual indicators simplify servicing.

Filamatic explosion-resistant molten products fillers are custom designed for use with the customer's heating system, or a factory installed, steam operated heat exchanger.

Current Installations More stick deodorants are filled on Filamatic Molten products fillers than on any other make. Here are just a few of the custom-ers using one or more Filamatic controlled environment fillers:

Construction

Series H Filamatic molten products fillers are built around an electro-welded, urethane finished tubular steel frame covered with urethane-painted steel or stainless steel panels. All stainless steel construction is optional. Filling Units and volume adjustment mechanism are mounted on a 3/4" thick, precision ground base plate to insure proper alignment and smooth operation of all moving parts. Equipped with an electronic variable speed filler drive and a stainless steel, variable speed conveyor. Optional heavy duty casters make it easy to position or relocate the Filamatic. Built-in screw jacks raise the machine off the floor for final positioning.
