We offer the safest and most reliable source of 195° Fahrenheit water for all of your hotfill and heatset testing requirements. click to enlarge TEN STATION GRAVITY FILLER SEQUENCE OF OPERATION: The gravity overflow filler is used to provide a "cosmetic fill" for a wide variety of thin products. As the overflow nozzles dive onto the container necks, they compress and form a tight seal on the rim of the container. This allows product to travel from the common supply tank into the container. At the same time, air and excess water are forced out through a return port in the nozzle and recirculated back to a secondary reservoir used to collect all excess water. All machines are designed with an oversized reservoir which is fed with water that the customer provides under pressure. The reservoir will contain a return port which allows water to be flooded into the tank until it reaches the lower level of the return port. At this time, the excess water will overflow into a secondary reservoir to be recycled. (This allows us to maintain a constant level of liquid in the reservoir while minimizing costly controls.) While the water is overflowing into the gravity reservoir, head pressure in the tank will allow the water to gently flow down into each of the fill valves and then re-circulate back to the secondary reservoir which is used to capture all of the excess water. This will allow all wetted parts to remain at a constant temperature between cycles. The secondary re-circulation tank contains a float system which controls the water level in the system and will allow the automatic fill valve to open to replenish the system when necessary. All of the water in the secondary tank is continuously heated and recycled back to the gravity reservoir. Our hot fill testing equipment is used by many of the largest hotfill and heatset PET container manufacturers in the United States.
