CONTAINERS:
The DN2-25-RD fillers are capable of filling containers from 1 to 25
liters (quart to 6 gal.) They are normally used for filling containers
from 4 to 25 liters (1 -6 gal.) for most of their fills. The DN2-25-RD/S is
a sub-surface filler, capable of filling
foaming products.
The DN2-10-RD filler would be recommended if all fills were to be in the 1 to 10 liter
(quart-2.5 gal.) range.
PRODUCTS
The DN2-25-RD filler can fill non-foaming liquid and semi-liquid products with viscosities
up to 500,000 cps if the product will level off in the container when
poured. Contact parts are available in brass & steel (standard), 316
Stainless Steel, Sanitary (3A) Stainless Steel, and Titanium to meet the needs
of most filling situations.
The sub-surface model,DN2-25-RD/S, is capable of filling foaming liquids.
OPERATION
On the DN2-25-RD model the operator places an empty container on one
filling platform with the opening
below the nozzle and presses the operating button. The nozzle descends
50 cm (2") and opens. Fast-Fill begins. When the Slow-Flow Weight is
reached, the product flow is reduced until the shut-off weight is
reached and the nozzle closes and rises. While one nozzle is filling,
the operator places the next container on the other platform and begins
the next fill, discharging filled containers to the discharge container
and placing empty containers as nozzles close.
On the DN2-25-RD Filler, the nozzle descends to the bottom of the container,
and the tip opens. The nozzle rises slowly during fill.
If the containers filled are open top pails, the operator will place
the lid on the filled pail before discharging and the container will
exit the filler to a pail closer such as the CLA-25 or RPC. This permits
one operator to perform both the filling and closing operations.
WEIGHING DEVICE/ACCURACY:
The machine uses two electronic load cell with digital indicators. The
load cells are incremented to 0.02 kg or 0.05 lbs. Fast-Fill/Slow-Fill
is included on the machine. Fill accuracy is maintained at +/-1 increment of
target weight. (To +/- 0.1%)
The standard model uses a preset tare. The operator will place an
empty container on each filling platform before filling and press the tare
buttons. This will be maintained as the tare for all the fill, or until the
operator tares another empty container. Automatic Tare for each container
is optional.
INSTALLATION:
The machine is shipped assembled. It must be placed in its operating position
and connected to the electric service, compressed air source, and product
supply. The machine includes its own filter, regulator and lubricator
for the pneumatic system.
SUPPLY OF PRODUCT:
Product may be supplied to the machine from a gravity source (elevated tank) or
from a pump system. The maximum pressure acceptable on the product line is 3 bar
(40 p.s.i.). If a pump system is used, it should be a non-surging type and
have the ability to limit the pressure at the machine connection, and the system
must be able to limit surges at the nozzles.
CHANGE OF CONTAINER:
When changing containers, the weight settings must be changed. On the DN2-25-RD filler
the nozzle height is adjusted by rack and gear systems. The weight settings are entered
on the scale controller keypads.
CHANGE OF PRODUCT:
To change the product, the product source is disconnected and the contact parts
drained. The contact parts are then flushed with a solvent.
The machine may be equipped with removable product contact parts to permit
all the contact parts to be quickly removed and replaced by a second
contact parts unit to allow them to be cleaned at a remote cleaning
station.
See Options: CIP nozzle, Sanitary Contact Parts.
MAINTENANCE:
The machine has a heavy duty welded steel frame. The standard paint
is a stainless steel pigment polyurethane coating which is approved
by the U.S.D.A. for use in food plants. The construction is open so
that it can be easily cleaned. Key parts are stainless steel. Most
system components are in protective enclosures.
The pneumatic and electrical systems have visual and tactile indicators
for easy "trouble shooting." An illustrated installation/ operation /
maintenance manual is included.
The regular maintenance includes lubrication of moving parts, emptying
the pneumatic filter regularly, filling the pneumatic lubricator, and
regularly cleaning the machine.
SAFETY:
The operator has an emergency stop botton to terminate the fill if
he sees a problem. There are no large moving parts.
NOISE CONTROL:
The 'A' level is less than 30 db at 1 meter. Cylinders exhaust
through mufflers inside the control box.
UTILITIES REQUIRED:
Electric: The scales must be conneted to a clean electrical sources with
110-120 v, 50-60 hz, 1 phase service. The solenoids require the same
electrical service.
Pneumatic: The system requires approximately 60 liters/min. at 6 bar (
2 cu. ft/min at 80 p.s.i.)
PERSONNEL REQUIRED:
One worker is required to operate the machine. If open top pails are
filled, the operator will normally place the lids.
OPERATING SPACE:
DN2-25-RD, DN2-25-RD/S: Approximately 150 x 150 cm (5.5' x 5.5').
SHIPPING MEASUREMENTS:
DN2-25-RD: Approximately 150 x 150 cm x 190 cm (5.5' x 5.5' x 6.5').
DN2-25-RD/S: Approximately 150 x 150 cm x 220 cm (5.5' x 5.5' x 7.5').
SHIPPING WEIGHT:
DN2-25-RD: Approximately 625 kg(1400 lbs).
DN2-25-RD/S: Approximately 725 kg(1600 lbs).
