For containers suited to accurate dosing our volumetric piston system can give an accuracy as high as of the filled volume. For containers requiring a cosmetic appearance our vacuum Filling system will give an excellent and consistent fill to the set level required. Gravfil can also supply complete lines that include : Depalletisers Rotary tables/unscramblers Filling machines Capping machines Check weighing Induction sealing Labelling Container transport systems Gravfil 12 head B Nexus automatic rotary volumetric Filling machineGravfil 8 head B Excel automatic in-line volumetric Filling machineRange of Equipment SuppliedThe NEXUS Rotary Volumetric Liquid FillerThe NEXUS Rotary Volumetric filler is suitable for high speed Liquid Filling .

7 The high Filling accuracy, which is up to + of cylinder volume, is ensured by the unique design of the Filling valve, which is only available on Gravfil machines. Filling volume is simply selected by the operator from a product menu and correct adjustment is achieved by the robust, fully motorised system. Cleaning is conducted in place and is carried out with the machine stationary. Spray balls and scavenge pumps can be fitted to the system to further ensure that cleaning is optimised. This machine is available in three stand-alone base sizes as well as a close coupled format. Either 1200ml, 3000ml, or 5000ml capacity metering cylinders can be provided. The Nexus can also be supplied with a flowmeter system. The NEXUS machine type can also be supplied in a SENSOR form with induction or mass flowmeters. Features include: High accuracy to + of cylinder volume Easy cleaning Tool free changeover construction Programmable product menu Operator friendly operation Fast changeovers - approximately 5 minutes High quality Stainless Steel construction Wide fill ranges The NEXUS achieves success in Liquid Filling by utilising designs that have the simplest product feed path amongst other features.

8 The metering cylinder is mounted directly on to the product tank; thus ensuring maximum efficiency with minimal maintenance. Gravfil fillers can be integrated into complete Filling and closing linesA Nexus rotary volumetric Liquid Filling machineEXCEL In-Line Volumetric Piston FillerThe range of EXCEL in-line volumetric Liquid fillers offers the user an unparalleled flexibility within a wide range of applications from food, pharmaceuticals and toiletries to oil and chemicals. Tool free adjustments, backed up by datum settings, enable operators to quickly and accurately change over machine settings to meet today s exacting production demands. Standard on all PLC controlled machines is a highly accurate motorised adjustment of fill volumes, which is selected from an OIT menu display. This machine is available in three standard base sizes depending upon volume to be filled and the speed of operation required.

9 Further features include: No Bottle - No Fill Vacuum drip removal, for clean Filling Servo drive, for optimum fluid control Automatic flushing Fill accuracy + In-Line Volumetric Piston FillerThe ACER range of fully automatic in-line volumetric Liquid Filling machines offers the user a unique combination of food quality hygienic construction and high performance. The filler is therefore ideal for accurate Filling of food products. ACER is the first choice for low to medium speed, accurate Filling of food products when cleanability, low maintenance and flexibility are important factors. High Filling accuracy of up to + ensured as the ACER works on the same principle developed for the NEXUS range. This is achieved by the unique design of the Filling valve. ACER is available in three base sizes fitted with 2,4,6 or 8 heads depending upon product type , the volume to be filled and the speed required.

10 VEGA Rotary Top Tank Rotary Level FillersThe VEGA top tank fully automatic filing machine is available with either a low vacuum, high vacuum, gravity or pressure operated level Filling system. The Filling accuracy is +1mm. Simplicity of construction, combined with good accuracy of fill, make the VEGA suitable for many applications. All Liquid contact parts are of 316 grade stainless steel construction, with much of the other machine parts also being in stainless steel. ZETA In-Line Flowmeter FillersThe ZETA in-line filler uses high accuracy flow metering to control the amount of Liquid dosed to each container. Depending on the type of product filled, either a conductivity or a mass flow meter can be used to achieve the correct result. The containers are indexed under the Filling heads as a group; then filled and exited in the same manner.
