Linear Piston Filler

When there is the need to accurately dose liquid or semi-liquid products, ZACMI has the answer: the Linear Piston Filler. This filler employs a piston that pushes the product through a filling pipe, thus allowing the dosage of a precise quantity of product. Its additional ability in accurately dosing products of a thick consistency makes the linear piston filler an ideal solution for the production of numerous food products of higher or lower consistency. So, how exactly does this machine work? Here are some details.

How the Linear Piston Filler works

The Linear Piston Filler is composed of a feeding tank that contains the product to be dosed and a piston that moves back and forth inside the filling pipe. When the piston moves forward, the product is fed through the filling pipe and comes out of the distribution opening. When the piston moves backwards, the pipe is newly filled with product coming from the feeding tank. The Linear Piston Filler is equipped with a control system for the regulation of the product quantity dosed, that allows the desired amount of product to be filled at every distribution.
