Embodiment Construction

[0024] figure 1 The filling machine indicated by 1 as a whole is schematically shown, which is used to fill a container 2 such as a plastic bottle or a glass bottle or an aluminum can with a filling fluid (for example, a pourable food).

[0025] The filling machine 1 includes a conveying device, and the conveying device includes a rotary conveyor (or turntable) 4, which is installed to continuously rotate about a substantially vertical longitudinal axis A ( figure 1 Counterclockwise).

[0026] The rotary conveyor 4 receives a series of empty containers 2 from the input wheel 5, which is coupled to the rotary conveyor 4 at the first transfer station 6 and installed to be continuous around a corresponding vertical longitudinal axis B parallel to the axis A Spin.

[0027] The rotary conveyor 4 releases a series of filled containers 2 to the output wheel 8, which is coupled to the rotary conveyor 4 at the second transfer station 9 and is installed so as to rotate about the corresponding ...

Abstract

A filling machine (1) has a rotating conveyor (4) and at least one filling unit (10), carried by the rotating conveyor (4) and designed to engage at least one container (2) to carry out filling thereof with a product; a weighing device (10) is operatively coupled to the filling unit (10) to provide weighing information related to a weight of the container (2) during its filling, the weighing device (10) having: a support unit (22), with a supporting arm (22a) designed to hold the container (2) and to be elastically deformed as a function of the weight of the same container (2) being filled; and a sensing unit (24), designed to provide a measure related to the weight of the container (2). The sensing unit (24) is configured to provide a contactless sensing associated to a distance (d) of supporting arm (22a) from a facing portion of the filling machine (1), the weight of the container (2) being a function of this distance (d).

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a filling machine designed to fill containers with fluid products, such as pourable food products. In particular, the present invention relates to a filling machine provided with an improved weighing device designed to measure the weight of a container being filled, and to related weighing methods. Background technique [0002] In the field of bottling fluids such as pourable food (such as plastic bottles or glass bottles or aluminum cans), systems are known, which include a feed line for supplying a series of empty containers to a filling machine, and then It includes a rotary conveyor (so-called "turntable"), which carries several filling units. These filling units are installed to continuously rotate around the longitudinal axis, join the empty container, fill the container with the required product, and then feed the container to the capping machine, which is coupled to the filling machine through at least one conveyor ...
