Gang array filler with relocatable nozzles

摘要: A filling machine for containers simultaneously fills an array of containers, examples immediately following depalletizing, and includes motor driven positioners the nozzles to accommodate changes in size container being run. The are laterally abutted occupy evenly spaced positions, can be compressed by a contoured push bar force entire into registry. flexibly coupled source material discharged mechanically moved actuators that displace at least subset along axes array. In this way registry with also vertically movable relative each valve opened contact respective container, discharging only occupied positions not voids include one drive advance retract axes, preferably particular rows columns have common positioning such as threaded rod nut arrangement.
