Full jet filler for filling non-carbonated water in PET
Fresh technology for a refreshing thirst-quencher
Full jet filling
- Electronic filling system with inductive flow meter or mass flow meter
- Full jet filling for utmost microbiological safety
- Infinitely variable control of the filling speed by the Krones Proportional Flow Regulator (PFR)
- End of filling after signal from flow meter
Field of applications
- Filling of non-carbonated water into PET containers, both with and without conductivity
Output
- Up to 100,000 bottles per hour
VFJ = Volumetric filling system, Flow meter, Full jet
Functional principle of the valve
Neck-handling grippers position the PET container beneath the filling valve. Once the container has been centred, the filling process starts: Thereby, the PFR valve (Proportional Flow Regulator) is opened and the product flows into the bottle at an infinitely variable speed. Once the required fill volume has been reached, the flow meter provides a signal to the PFR valve. The valve is now closed and the filling process completed. Dripping of the filling valve is prevented by a sieve in the product discharge.
