Gravity-Filling Systems for Free-Flowing Liquids

Pneumatic Gravity Filling Systems

Simplified Volumetric Dosing for Particulate-Laden Liquids.

CORE TECHNOLOGY

Our atmospheric-pressure filling systems leverage liquid’s natural flow for rapid, maintenance-free operation. Engineered for non-foaming products (<200 cP viscosity) with:

  • Zero Moving Parts: No pumps or seals requiring replacement

  • Stainless Steel Dosing Tanks: 304/316L construction with sight glasses

  • Adjustable Nozzles: Spring-loaded or pneumatically actuated designs

  • CIP-Ready: Sanitary tri-clamp connections

Liquid flow controlled solely by atmospheric pressure and valve timing.


PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS

Parameter Gravity Filler Piston Filler
Viscosity Range 1-200 cP 1-50,000 cP
Accuracy ±1% ±0.25%
Max Speed 120 BPM/nozzle 80 BPM/nozzle
Maintenance Cost $0.02/1k bottles $1.20/1k bottles
Changeover Time <5 min 15-30 min

CORE TECHNOLOGY

Our dead-space-free pneumatic valve systems leverage gravity flow with precision time-based control. Unlike piston pumps or flow meters, this zero-complexity solution features:

  • Zero Dynamic Seals: Only pneumatic valves and smooth-bore nozzles contact product

  • Time-Governed Dosing: Programmable valve open/close cycles (±10ms accuracy)

  • Pressurized Surge Tanks: External pumps maintain constant head pressure

  • Full Drainability: Sanitary design eliminates stagnant zones

Product flows by gravity → Valves control duration → Consistent fills achieved.


TECHNICAL ADVANTAGES

LINE CONFIGURATIONS

Basic System

  • 4-12 filling heads

  • Overflow collection trays

  • Manual height adjustment

Advanced Options

  1. Integrated Pre-Rinsing: Rotary bottle washers

  2. Auto Capping: Torque-controlled screw cappers

  3. Level Sensing: Capacitance probes for foam detection

  4. Low-Oxidation Kit: Nitrogen blanket system

WHY GRAVITY FILLING?

✅ Lowest Ownership Cost: 85% less maintenance than pump systems
✅ Ultra-High Speed: 120 BPM per nozzle achievable
✅ Gentle Product Handling: Zero shear damage
✅ Easy Sanitization: No dead legs or complex disassembly

We switched to gravity fillers for our juice line — saved $36.4k/year in pump maintenance while increasing output 20%.

SYSTEM ENHANCEMENTS

Key Upgrades:

  • Nitrogen Blanketing: Prevents oxidation of sensitive products

  • Viscosity Compensation: Automatic timer adjustment for 1-500 cP range

  • «No Foam» Technology: Optical sensors pause flow on foam detection


WHY PNEUMATIC GRAVITY FILLING?

✅ Unmatched Simplicity: 50% fewer components than piston systems
✅ Suspension-Ready: No clogging with seeds/pulp/abrasives
✅ Instant Scalability: Handle 50ml to 20L doses with software adjustment
✅ Sanitary Excellence: EHEDG-certified cleanability

We filled 8.2M bottles of mango pulp without a single clog — impossible with our old piston fillers.
