HVS = Height filling system, Vacuum, Short tube
Modulfill HVS vacuum filler
- Reliable determination of the fill level with vacuum-correction and the length of the vent tube
- Operates according to the “no bottle, no filling” principle
- Infinitely variable adjustment of the fill level by +/- 5 mm possible
- Mechanically controlled filling valve
- One filling speed
- Filling valve with and without CIP function possible
Functional principle of the valve
This version of the Modulfill HVS is a vacuum-assisted filling system which operates with a short tube and a spreader. The bottle is pressed onto the filling valve. Then the valve opens and filling begins. As soon as the bottle is full to the brim, the valve closes and the vacuum correction begins: Due to the short tube, the excessive product is sucked back into the ring bowl. Since the valve function is controlled by the bottle, the following principle is valid: "no bottle, no filling".
Optional:
Additional channel for CIP cleaning
In a block with a Krones rinser
Option 1: Single-channel rinser with air
- Efficient removal of particles from the bottle
- Height-adjustable plunge nozzle
- Plunging depth of 20 to 80 millimetres
- Optimum rinsing results at different bottle heights
Option 2: Product rinser
- Rinsing of the bottle with product
- Collection of excessive product per rinsing unit
- No open collecting tray
- Drip removal at the bottle neck (to remove any residual liquid)
General (optional) design
- “No bottle, no rinse” option
- Inclusion in the CIP circuit
