Problems solved by technology

[0006] These constraints severely limit the product space that can be successfully packaged with a single filling system
This in turn limits the flexibility and effectiveness of expensive production facilities
Converting to equipment that can be used to fill containers with different types of beverage products can be costly and time consuming if production volumes drop significantly or if the product type is no longer required

Abstract

A container filling valve may include a shuttle and a drive sleeve that are magnetically coupled. Movement of the drive sleeve may move the shuttle from a position in which the filling valve is closed to a position in which the filling valve is open. A container handling arm may include a distal end configured to hold a container and a proximal end that includes a load cell. A low flow setpoint system may be configured to arrest closing of a filling valve when that filling valve is partially closed. A pressure control system may be configured to maintain a desired pressure in a reservoir or in a flow path from that reservoir. A product recirculation system may be configured to adjust flow rate in the product recirculation system.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related patent applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application 61 / 804,452, filed March 22, 2013, entitled "(Universal Filling System and Valve for Universal Filling System)." Patent application 61 / 804,452 is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] Beverage products are a category of products intended for human consumption, usually for drinking. Beverage products are often placed in some type of primary packaging for distribution and sale. Primary packaging can include any of a variety of container types. Examples include bottles made of PET (polyethylene terephthalate), HDPE (high density polyethylene) or other plastics, glass bottles, aluminum bottles, cans, and the like. Even for a single type of product, primary packaging can have a wide range of sizes and shapes. [0004] Systems for filling primary packaging containers with beverage products typically include...
