  • Page 8: Filling Volume Adjustment

    Activate (push in) the Emergency Stop before making any adjustments STROKE INDICATOR The All-Fill 500 Series Filler includes a graduated scale on the side of the main cover which displays the Percentage of Stroke that the Power Cylinder is operating at. This indicator, as well as the Metering Cylinder Set size, is used to determine how much product is dispensed per single fill cycle.
  • Page 9: Rotary Valve

    SIDE SHIFT ASSEMBLY All-Fill 500 Series Filling Machines can include a Side Shift Assembly to move the filling nozzles away from the tops of the containers and over a drip tray at the end of a filling cycle. This allows any drips to be contained and/or prevent overfilling with certain types of products.
  • Page 10: Conveyor

    Typical Filler Operation The All-Fill Piston Fillers operate by means of a compressed air power source to dispense metered amounts of liquids and other products to medium viscosity into containers. The combination of a metering cylinder/piston set and rotary valve accurately dispenses product contained in a hopper mounted on the filler, or connected to a bulk product supply.
