Automatic Twin Pail Filling System
Model APF-510


Description of Operation

This system automatically positions and fills two containers simultaneously if bungs or caps are previously removed. Pails are moved in pairs into the system by a pneumatic indexer with a separator bar. Each pair is pushed onto an indexing conveyor. When called for, the conveyor drives forward until an electronic eye recognizes two new empty pails. The pail conveys to the fill station where it is raised off the conveyor and signals the fill cycle to begin. The automatic tare sets and both lances insert into the pail to the designated down position. The slow fill cycle begins until the level of liquid reaches the fill spout then it shifts into fast fill speed. At the designated fill height, the cycle shifts into dribble speed to top off the pails and minimize foaming.
