Piston Filler

LPS piston fillers allow the operator to adjust the length of the piston stroke, which in turn adjusts the volume of product that is pulled in to the cylider with each fill cycle. This way a single piston size can handle a range of container sizes.Once the piston has pulled at a pre-set length, the valve rotates allowing the product to flow to the nozzle. The piston pushes back into the cylinder to help the product move through the nozzle. The nozzle dispenses the product into the waiting containers.Vacuum fillers are traditionally used in the meat processing industry as well as in other food sectors. They can also be found in some non-food sectors. Generally speaking, vacuum fillers can be used for filling pasty and compressible products.Level filling machines work by using vacuum, pressure or gravity. A level is pre-determined and set on the machine, and then the mechanism fills containers or bottles to this level. A vacuum might be used to initiate the flow of liquid or powdered products at low or medium speed, such as wine or milk powder.
