Piston
Filler Selection Guide |
Application:
This type of piston filler is best suited for viscous products that are paste,
semi paste, or chunky with large particlates. These piston fillers are built to
meet food grade standards and can also handle various chemical
applications.
Examples:
Heavy sauces, salsas, salad dressings, cosmetic creams, heavy shampoo,
gels, and conditioners, paste cleaners and waxes, adhesives, heavy oils
and lubricants.
Advantages:
This lower cost conventional technology is easy to understand for most
users. Fast fill rates are achievable with fairly thick products.
Warning: this technology is nearly obsolete with the advent of servo
positive displacement fillers.
|
How it Works:
The piston is drawn back in its
cylinder so that the product is sucked into the cylinder. A rotary valve
then changes position so that the product is then pushed out of the
nozzle instead of back into the hopper. |
