Packaging Dynamics, Ltd. introduces the Mass Flow Liquid Filler SLA-MF which utilizes Micro Motion Coriolis flow meter mass technology. The Coriolis flow meters measure mass directly and therefore are insensitive to changes in process conditions or fluid composition./ The system meets performance requirements of manufacturers in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, food and beverage industries. These requirements include an accuracy of +/- 0.5 %. Product viscosities vary from water to 40,000 cP with particulates. The Coriolis flow meters also allow measurements of density and temperature to keep products within quality specifications. Changing over a piston filler means many hours of dismantling, cleaning and re-assembling before production can continue. The Flow meters change over procedures are easy. The operator will simply run clean in place fluid (CIP) through the flow meters then set a new fill weight. The 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 Mass flow meters can be used to fill from fractional containers to 55 gallon drums.
