PF2.5 Piston Fillers
The PF2.5 Piston Filler is a
volumetric pump used to dispense extremely precise fills into
ready-meal packages. The filler uses a programmable logic controller
(PLC) based control system to maximize machinery speed, efficiency,
and reliability. The PF2.5, or 135 Degree, Piston Filler's two position
rotor travels 135 degrees between pump suction and discharge. The
larger rotor travel provides a less torturous product path between
the product hopper and the product placement. The latest advancement
in PF2.5 Piston Filler technology allows touchscreen control over
the actual volume pulled from the product hopper during operation.
Using a servo-operated product cylinder, operators can now not only
access setup, operation, and troubleshooting data but (with the touch
of a touchscreen) rapidly change fill weights. Raque piston fillers
can incorporate a blender, auger, gravity, aseptic, or jacketed product
hopper. |

PF2 Piston Fillers
The PF2 (or 90degree) Piston Filler uses a pneumatic control system that
maintains excellent volumetric precision without requiring the added
cost or overhead from the more advanced PF2.5 Piston Filler. The PF2
Piston Filler requires only an air source of 80 psi (5.5 bar) for
operation and has a small footprint to maximize the use of valuable production floor space.
