20130112311 | FILLING ELEMENT, METHOD AND FILLING SYSTEM FOR FILLING CONTAINERS - A filling element for free jet filling of containers with a liquid charge includes a housing having a liquid channel formed therein, a liquid valve provided upstream of a dispensing opening, and an actuator device for actuating the liquid valve for controlled discharge of the liquid charge via the dispensing opening into a container arranged with a container opening thereof spaced below the dispensing opening. In an open state thereof, the liquid valve forms an opening gap through which the liquid charge flows. This opening gap has a gap width of at least four millimeters. The actuating device for the liquid valve is configured to cause the liquid valve to be in the open state for at least one hundred milliseconds. | 05-09-2013 |
20130193702 | PET BOTTLE GRIPPING DEVICE - An apparatus for gripping and retaining PET bottles in a filling system includes a passive clamping system having pivotable gripping arms that pivot around corresponding pivot axles and that are acted upon by either a spring or permanent magnets. The first pivotable gripping arm has a first extension on an other side of the first pivot axle and the second pivotable gripping arm has a second extension on an other side of the second pivot axle. The extensions have receptacles for guiding a compression spring and for applying a bending force to the compression spring or to sub-segments thereof These receptacles can be rod-shaped or rail-shaped. | 08-01-2013 |
20140027015 | FILLING ELEMENT - A filling element for free jet filling of containers with liquid contents that contain solid constituents includes a housing, a contents chamber formed in the housing, and a liquid valve in the contents housing. The liquid valve comprises a valve body, and a valve opening. The valve body undergoes movement between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the valve body closes the valve opening, thereby locking the liquid valve. In the second position the valve body releases the valve opening and opens the liquid valve. The valve body is moved such that closing the valve occurs without a pump effect on the liquid contents. | 01-30-2014 |
