Heat and Control's continuous motion Rotary Filling System delivers precise net weight packaging in cans, jars or canisters at speeds to 90 per minute.
A starwheel positively indexes containers under rotating filling funnels, which cam down into the containers to avoid spillage during product transfer from the Ishida weigher. After filling motor-driven vibrators settle product below the top of the containers before they are discharged to the takeaway conveyor.
The servo motor drive system optimizes the time for filling and settling, while maintaining continuous motion for maximum output. Sensing controls make sure that no product is discharged when there is no container, and that no empty containers pass through the system during normal operation.
Fast, accurate filling
Continuously fill up to 90 containers per minute without jams, product spills or discharging empty containers.
Jam-proof filling
A single lane conveyor delivers containers to multiple starwheels which positively position them beneath the rotating funnel wheel. Adjustable conveyor side guides assure containers advance through the filler without jams and downtime.
No empty containers
Empty containers never pass through the system because the filler stops until the weigher is ready to discharge product.
Eliminate product spills
If a container is not in position, product is not supplied to the funnel wheel. After filling, a vibrating plate gently settles product before discharging containers.
Adjustable can height
Easily adjust the funnel wheel for different container heights. Star and funnel wheels are also available for various container diameters.
Simple maintenance
Stainless steel and plastic product contact surfaces are built for IP65 washdown. Lift-off safety shields allow complete access for cleaning and service.
