Timed filling machines use either a pinch bar that cuts off and releases product to all nozzles at the same time. In a ball valve system, there is a valve for each nozzle to start and stop product flow into the container. The products listed above use one or the other of these techniques to accomplish accurate and consistent fill levels throughout a production run. The pinch series machines have adjustable flow rates at each nozzle to ensure that individual containers are filled to the proper level.

Accutek also has timed flow gravity fillers where each nozzle has its own timer for super precise fill level control. Timed flow gravity fillers can be ordered with corrosion resistant components.

Using check valves, piston fillers pull product into a cylinder with a piston and then push the product out through the nozzle. Piston fillers are especially good for thicker products. The fill volume is determined by the stroke length. The cylinder diameter you choose balances between fill time and consistency. Shorter stroke lengths make the machine faster but less consistent from fill to fill.

Piston fillers can be ordered with pneumatic or electric piston drivers.

Accutek also has a complete line of fill to level or overflow fillers, starting with a semiautomatic filler that handles two bottles at a time. The next step in the fill to level series is an automatic machine called the Accutek APOF.

Positive displacement (PD) fillers count pump shaft rotations to determine the fill level. PD fillers can handle small non-abrasive particles but are best with free flowing oils and creams. Accutek sells a manual single container PD filler and the high end machine is an automatic that can fill up to twelve containers at a time.

All but the basic entry level fillers have a color touch screen that is linked to a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) that operates the machine. The machine operating program gives the operator the ability to make fine adjustments to the machine as needed during a shift. The logic continuously monitors the machine for correct operation along with built in safety checks.

Accutek filling machines range from entry level fill machines to automated machines that can fill up to twelve containers per cycle. At the high end Accutek has a selection of rotary fillers that fill containers to level in a continuous process achieving maximum throughput.
