1. Cup Load

The cup load is mechanically driven and timed into the indexer for ease of use.

The cup drop cams draw two containers off two stacks and drop them into the dial plate. Additionally the cup drop is constructed with four star grip knobs for easy height adjustment from one size container tothe next within a similar diameter (i.e. switching from 2oz 75mm to 6oz 75mm).

Underneath the dial plate will be a sensor to detect the placement of cups.

Should only one lane be in use or only one cup drop, the logic keeps track of each lane independently.

2. Outboard Fill

This fill station is for the outboard lane and is showing a simple liquid piston filler perfect for sauces, dressings, puddings, juices, even semi-liquid products with small particulates.

We can also integrate dry fillers, powder fillers, weight fillers, auger fillers, etc.

If a cup is not sensed in the previous station, then the logic will not allow the filler/s to dispense product, reducing waste and cleanup.

Each filler operates independent of the other and in conjunction with the logic for its particular lane.

3. Inboard Fill

This fill station is for the Inboard lane and is showing a simple liquid piston filler perfect for sauces, dressings, puddings, juices, even semi-liquid products with small particulates.

We can also integrate dry fillers, powder fillers, weight fillers, auger fillers, etc.

If a cup is not sensed in the previous station, then the logic will not allow the filler/s to dispense product, reducing waste and cleanup.

Each filler operates independent of the other and in conjunction with the logic for its particular lane.

4. Foil placement

There are sensors under the cup drop and the foil place station will not place a foil, if there was not a cup sensed in the dial.

The foil place will also shut down the machine, should a cup be present and the foil is not picked up by the suction cup or if the foil falls off the suction cup prematurely. This is accomplished by vacuum sensors located on the pneumatic panel.

There is also a knock-off bell to ensure that the foil is placed properly into the pocket with the cup on the dial plate.

Foil placement is manually timed into the index of the machine for ease of use.

5. Heat sealing

Heat Sealing is manually timed into the index of the machine for ease of use.

Pressure is applied via springs and quantitatively adjusted by the stroke of the heat seal mechanism.

The protected cover prevents access to pinch points but is easily removed for cleaning.

6. Unload/discharge of filled & sealed product 

Completed Container ejection is manually timed into the index of the machine for ease of use.

The unloading pucks are attached to the unloading shaft. Shouldthere be an interference, the puck and shaft will fall down and out of the way and reset themselves on the next cycle.

Unload pucks push the container up onto the eject plate where the swing arm slides the containers off the machine.

Your completed product with its tamper evident seal ready for safe consumption.
