LOW PARTICULATE LIQUID FILLING MACHINE AND METHOD

摘要

The apparatus includes a spring loaded back pressure plate which avoids jamming of bottles that are carried by conveyor. A bottle detection system comprising a photoeletric device or microswitch assures positioning and detection of an individual bottle. Vibration is dampened by guide plates. Overheating of the drive motors caused by frequent reversing to operate the vertical movement is obviated. This is achieved through the use of a pair of continuously operated motors running in opposite directions and connected to mechanical actuators and also through the use of clutch brake mechanisms.
