How they work

Our mechanical fillers use precise cam-driven mechanisms to control the filling cycle. Counter-pressure technology handles carbonated products such as beer and CSDs gently, minimizing CO2 loss and protecting product integrity. Fill levels are controlled mechanically for reliable, repeatable results.

  • Construction built for longevity and continuous operation
  • Proven reliability from established filling technology
  • Easy maintenance with accessible, straightforward upkeep
  • Consistent fills bottle after bottle, can after can
  • Strong return on your investment

Design improvements

We have re-engineered key components to boost line efficiency, reduce maintenance and extend equipment life.

Upgraded cylinder durability and precision

All-welded stainless steel cylinders, stainless guide and piston rods, Delrin bushings and pistons, and rubber U-cups.

  • Superior corrosion resistance for longevity
  • Minimal wear for constant, precise cylinder lift
  • Essential for handling delicate PET containers

Greaseless cam followers

Advanced greaseless cam followers replace traditional high-maintenance steel rollers.

  • No routine lubrication or its maintenance costs
  • Less wear on the pull-down cam
  • About two-thirds the cost of the old steel rollers

Adjustable guide rods

New stainless steel guide rods allow individual cylinder height adjustment.

  • Fix sealing or filling issues at one valve station in seconds, not hours
  • More filling time and much less product loss
  • Fine-tune performance easily

Optimized cylinder lift

Cylinder lift distance is precisely limited.

  • Smoother bottle handling and transfers into the filler
  • Exact bottle positioning
  • Less stress on cylinders and the pull-down cam
  • Longer component life and better filling efficiency

Variable frequency drive

An electrically driven VFD system mounted under the filler replaces the hydraulic drive.

  • Proven gains in reliability and efficiency
  • No hydraulic system upkeep
  • No risk of contamination from hydraulic oil

Infeed safety gate

Monitors bottle flow and gives operators manual control.

  • Trips a safety switch automatically if bottles jam in the worm screw
  • Stop incoming bottles without stopping filler rotation
  • Protects the filler and keeps the line flowing

Electro-pneumatic valve openers

Accurate electro-pneumatic openers managed by a PLC replace pneumatic openers.

  • Consistent valve operation with fewer moving parts
  • No bottle contact, ideal for PET and pre-labeled packages
  • Sensors detect missing or downed bottles and keep the valve closed
  • No product or CO2 loss, so the bowl stays stable for a quick restart
  • Virtually maintenance-free; detection height adjusts at the banner sensors
  • Can often reuse the existing timing collar if star wheel pockets match

Maintenance-friendly closer tracks

Re-engineered in stainless steel with sloped tracks, matched to the new valve lever.

  • Designed with the maintenance crew in mind
  • External tension springs replace in minutes
  • Stainless construction for long life

Complete finishing overhaul

Liquid level control rebuilt, with all-new gauges, diaphragm valves, hoses and stainless connectors.

  • Better product flow distribution
  • Less corrosion from sanitation chemicals and spillage
