Packaging Dynamics Ltd. introduces the Accu-Flo Liquid Filler (SLA-V6) which utilizes positive-displacement flow meter
technology. Our Positive Displacement Flow Meters use two rotating
thermoplastic impellers driven by flowing liquid. Magnets imbedded in
the impellers activate a non intrusive sensor which generates a pulsed
output signal. Each pulse represents a known volume. A K-Factor
converts the pulses into engineering units for remote data collection
and digital display. This process allows our fillers to achieve a +/-
0.5% accuracy and repeatability. The meter has only two moving parts,
no bearings, no motors, no clutch or brakes and is programmed through
our microprocessor touch pad for virtually any volume. This reduces
the amount of mechanical moving parts and adds to the long term
reliability of the system. The size and output of the Flow Meter
ranges from 1/4" NPT to 1.5" NPT depending on the size of the
container, the viscosity of the product and the speed required. This
equipment is available from single to twelve head models and handles
viscosities from water thin to gels and thick creams. Available in
semi- and fully-automatic variations, the Accu-Flo can be used to fill
from fractional containers to 55 gallon drums.
