Abstract:
The present invention relates to a filling machine of the weight type, and more precisely to a system for refilling the filling liquid in the supplying tank of the machine. In particular, the invention relates to a weight filling machine comprising a filling unit and a unit for supplying a container-filling liquid to the filling unit, wherein the supply unit comprises a tank containing the filling liquid from which a dispensing duct (14) departs, characterized in that the dispensing duct (14) leads into an automatic refill device (15) comprising a receptacle (16) in turn connected to the filling unit (2) by means of a supply line (11) of the filling liquid, wherein the dispensing duct (14) terminates inside the receptacle (16) with a float valve (17) for closing-opening the dispensing duct (14), wherein the float valve (17) determines and adjusts the level of filling liquid inside the receptacle (16).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a weight filling machine suitable for filling containers with two or more products of different type. In particular, the invention relates to a weight filling machine (1), comprising a filling unit (2) and a supply unit (3) for one or more products (P) of different final composition for the filling of containers (C), where said one or more products (P) comprise the same base composition for all the products (P) and one or more additives, which are different for each different final composition, characterized in that the supply unit (3) comprises a tank (12) for the base composition and a plurality of mixing units (13, 13', 13", 13"'), one for each different product (P), each of the mixing units (13, 13', 13", 13"') being connected by means of respective supply lines (11, 11', 11", 11"') to the filling unit (2).
Abstract:
A machine for filling containers, comprising dispensing heads, in which each dispensing head comprises at least two ports, which are connected to respective ducts for feeding different liquids, and is provided with elements for controlling the flow of the ducts which are controlled by automatic control elements which act as a function of the quantity of the individual portions of the different liquids that are meant to be introduced in a container, and are adapted to produce a sequential opening of only one of the ports, so as to fill each container by preset portions of the liquids which access sequentially the container.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a machine for sorting spray container pumps to be fed to a machine for closing said containers. In particular, the invention relates to a sorting machine (1) for selecting and sorting pumps (P) for spray containers, comprising a feeder (2) of pumps (P), which feeds the pumps to a sorting member (3), which in turn supplies the sorted pumps (P) to a conveyor (4), characterized in that the sorting member (3) comprises a casing (5) open at the top and comprising a rotating disc (6) on the bottom having a peripheral edge (6a), wherein an annular spacing (11) which forms a sorting seat of the pumps (P) is placed between the rotating disc (6) and the casing (5).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a sealing system for containers, in particular of the type which envisages sealing with an aluminum cap. In particular, the invention relates to forming equipment of a cap or seal of weldable sealing material for the application on the mouth of a container, said equipment comprising at least one cutting device (48) of a disc or sheet of said sealing material from a web of said sealing material, characterized in that said at least one cutting device (48) is arranged along the periphery of a cutting roll (30) and in that said cutting roll (30) is motorized so as to move by traction said web of sealing material along an operational path.
