• two to twelve head filler configuration (8-128 oz. cylinders)<br />

• A.B.I. kit (Automatic Bottling Index kit)<br />

• Color touch screen controls with help menus<br />

• pLC controlled<br />

• Multi-stroke (Multiple doses per container)<br />

• tool-less dose volume adjustment<br />

OptIOnS:<br />

• Custom filling nozzles<br />

• Extended length nozzles; bottom up filling reduces foaming<br />

• Thin nozzles; reduce stringing or dripping on low surface tension liquids<br />

• Diving heads (For bottom up filling to reduce foam)<br />

• Chunky or rotary valves for products with particulates up to 2”<br />

• Heat or corrosive product packages (Contact parts and tubing)<br />

• positive off nozzles<br />

• product suck-back kits (prevents Dripping)<br />

• Hoppers, drip trays, neck grabbers, star wheels, sanitary conveyors<br />

Examples products the AVF Series can fill:<br />

Semi-viscous and viscous liquids; catsup, mustard, syrups,<br />

salsa, mayonnaise, honey, peanut butter, jellies, dipping<br />

sauces, lip balm, shampoo, thick soaps, styling gels, facial<br />

masks, wax, glue, grease, sealants, silicone and much more.<br />

Piston Volumetric Filling Process<br />

Piston fillers measure and deliver product to a container by the action of a single piston for each filling<br />

head. The filling process begins by priming the product cylinder. On the intake stroke, the piston draws<br />

the product from the bulk supply tank, through the upper check-valve, and into the product cylinder.<br />

Once the product cylinder has been filled with product the upper check-valve shuts and the piston<br />

direction is reversed. With the lower check-valve now open product is forced from the product cylinder<br />

through the valve and into the container.<br />

The volume of the filling chamber in which the piston is operating determines the volume of product<br />

delivered into the container, the larger the product cylinder, the more available volume for filling. Adjusting<br />

the length of the piston’s stroke can change this volume. As the stroke is lengthened, the volume of<br />

the product cylinder is increased, and as the stroke is shortened, the volume of the product cylinder is<br />

decreased. The simplicity of the piston filling process allows it to adapt to a wide variety of products while<br />

continue to deliver extremely accurate repeatable dose fills.<br />
