AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an efficient and cost-effective way to fill containers by using an integral vertical tamping system. This system reduces the need for additional tamping machinery and can even clear obstructions within its conduit. To prevent spillage, the shape of the bottom opening is designed to match the shape of the container opening. Overall, this invention offers improved efficiency and reduced costs for container filling.

Problems solved by technology

Moreover, the integral vertical tamping system can self-clear obstructions within portions of its conduit.

Embodiment Construction

[0030]The present invention provides for significant advancements over prior art processes, particularly with regard to process efficiency, process economics, and reduction of material arriving in an unintended positioning. Moreover, existing tray filling systems may, in many instances, may easily be retrofitted to exploit the many commercial benefits the present invention provides. The present system reduces spilling of material outside of the container. Additionally, though down-stream tampers may be used with the present system, they are not likely to be implemented as the present system can perform their function. For instance, use of the present system results in a filled container ready to receive a lid. These and other exemplary aspects of the present invention are discussed in greater detail herein below.

[0031]With initial reference to FIGS. 1A-1B, an integral vertical tamping system 100 illustrating various aspects of an exemplary embodiment of the invention is provided. In...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for filling and / or tamping product in a container is disclosed herein. More specifically, the present disclosure is related to a device for filling a container with a material including a conduit comprising a top opening and a bottom opening, and a tamper integrally coupled to the conduit. The tamping face may be configured to move in a straight path along the axis normal to the plane of the bottom opening from the second position to a third position. The shape of the perimeter of the tamping face may be configured to mirror the internal shape of a provided container.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application claims priority to U.S. Nonprovisional application Ser. No. ______ entitled “APPARATUS FOR FILLING CONTAINERS” filed concurrently with this application on October ______, 2012. The disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for any purpose.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to a system and apparatus for filling containers, and more particularly, to a system and method directed to a container filler comprising an integral tamper with optimized tamping surface features.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Although, in general, the container filling process is known, a number of deficiencies are apparent in the prior art. Most notable of these deficiencies is that the conventional industrial container filling process often results in material spillage. Spillage may be material that is intended be transferred from a first location to a container that does not arrive at its intended ...
