Piston Filling Machines


Lucas Electronics has been engineered to provide an economical and convenient way for filling small & large production runs of today?s thick or thin liquid products with high accuracy. These machines are pneumatically and digitally controlled volumetric piston filler and it needs compressed air. In some applications where the product being filled is slightly viscous, a certain amount of pressure must be applied to get it moving.


In these applications, the filling machine might be classed as a positive-displacement filling machine instead of a volumetric filling machine. These machines are manufactured with single or multiple filling heads, and they can be used manual as well as automatic operations. Each machine is also equipped with an adjustable piston stroke to permit a single unit to fill variable amounts of product.

Features :

  • Filling Range : 5 to 35,25 to 100, 50 to 250, 100 to 500 & 200 to 1000ml models are standard
  • Approximate Speed : 8-14 pcs/min on single head 16-28 pcs/min on double head (depending on operator speed, product density, draw length, a fill speed, among others)

DIFFERENT TYPES OF NOZZLES AVAILABLE :


VERTICAL PLUG SPOUT NOZZLES :
Our Vertical Plug Spout Nozzles are the industry standard in dispensing nozzles. Our 2 and 3 position models. Select from a variety of options including, Peek, or Waukesha alloy spool valves, shear edge models, and air-shot-thru piston models to aid in clean fills.


HORIZONTAL CUT OFF NOZZLES :
Horizontal Cut-off Nozzles are the leading choice for many bakery applications that use thick, slurry-type products with or without particles.


CAPILLARY NOZZLES :
Capillary Nozzles provide drip-free dispensing of thin liquids. Available in single or multiple tube versions, these nozzles provide a clean laminar flow of product during dispensing and a clean cut-off.


BEVEL SEAT NOZZLES :
Bevel Seat Nozzles are bottom shut-off, no-drip dispensing nozzles designed for thin liquids or thick creams. They are available in opening sizes ranging from .25” to 1.9” with a variety of lengths for top filling or bottom-up filling containers.


INVERTED CONE NOZZLES :
Inverted Cone Nozzles are the ideal choice for liquids, creams, homogeneous sauces, and sticky products. They provide extremely clean drip-free dispensing and a softer, diffused fill that helps eliminate splashing.


ROTARY CUT OFF NOZZLES :
Rotary Cut-off Nozzles are a versatile style of nozzle for thick products, with or without particulates. The rotary nozzle provides a clean cut-off of the product flow, and is recommended for products that build-up such as fudge, soup bases, or products with high sugar or salt content.


GUILLOTINE & WIRE CUT OFF :
Guillotine and Wire Cut-off Nozzles are most commonly used in the meat, cheese, and baking industries with a vacuum staffer to extrude extremely thick products such as cubed, ground, or full muscle meats, chicken, sausage, cheese, and dough. The guillotines are available in a variety of custom extruder horn diameters as well as custom shapes.


OVERFLOW FILLING NOZZLES :
Overflow Filling Nozzles are designed for filling thinner liquid products dispensed from pressure overflow filler. Volumetric Technologies manufactures a wide variety of overflow filling nozzles for our overflow fillers, as well as overflow nozzle replacements for other brands. Overflow nozzles dive into the container and are compressed open, allowing the product to flow through the nozzle. When the container is full, it overflows into the return line, the nozzle is then retracted and the product flow shut off.
