gravity feed fillers

These fillers are very simple to operate and give an accurate and consistent fill level. The fill level can be adjusted by the addition or removal of split rubber collets. This system satisfies Trading Standards Officers.

The fillers are stainless steel throughout and have seamless, one-piece float tanks fitted with lids. The filler nozzles have a ball joint mounting to facilitate location and removal of bottles, side discharge outlets to avoid product splashing and air escape tubes venting above the product level in the float tank. Can be steam cleaned to 110ºC. Gravity feed fillers can be fed either from a header tank or directly from a centrifugal pump, in which case a bypass valve must be fitted to the filler.

Standard nozzles have an OD of 14mm which is suitable for most conventional bottle types. 12mm nozzles are available for narrow mouth bottles and 16mm nozzles for faster filling of large volume containers. Suitable for use with bottles from 200ml to 5 litre capacity, including plastic cider flagons with mouth diameters of up to 35mm. Fill capacity of up to 110 litres per nozzle per hour depending on the size of the nozzle, the operator and the product being filled.
