APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SENSING A CONTAINER POSITIONED ABOUT A FILLING SPOUT

摘要

An apparatus for filling at least one container includes a filling spout in flow communication with a source of filling material. The filling spout is configured to enable the opening of the at least one container to fit about the filling spout. Two sensor assemblies are positioned about the filling spout. The two sensor assemblies are configured to detect whether a container is positioned about the filling spout. A controller operatively coupled to each sensor assembly of the two sensor assemblies is configured to initiate a filling process.
