FILAMATIC® Introduces New Products At Pack Expo 2008
FILAMATIC, a division of National Instrument Company, will be demonstrating a wide variety of liquid filling equipment and systems in booth S-1147 at Pack Expo, November 9-13, located at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. FILAMATIC will be introducing NEW additions to semi-automatic and automatic product lines at the show. The first is a semi-automatic Benchtop that allows the user to switch between pump technologies while utilizing one base. The base is outfitted to accommodate peristaltic, lobe, gear, and piston pumps providing the maximum amount of flexibility and versatility in one unit. In addition, it will offer an abundance of features typically only found on automatic equipment making this Benchtop the most convenient and user friendly model available.
FILAMATIC is also introducing their NEW automatic Level Filler. The Level Filler will present packagers with a level fill using overflow and advanced spring loaded nozzle technology. This robust filler provides a rapid, even fill each and every time.
They will demonstrate a version of the popular Monobloc fill/finish system. The Monobloc is engineered to perform multiple tasks within a compact footprint and a variety of liquid metering systems are available to provide a fill volume range of 0.5 ml. to 500 ml. per cycle. All FILAMATIC Monoblocs are digitally controlled with menu-driven programs that electronically adjust operating parameters for quick and easy tool-less changeovers.
The last piece of FILAMATIC equipment will be hard to miss. A 35 foot production line which includes a bulk unscrambler, a continuous motion walking beam DFS filling system, cap feeder/cap starter mechanism, induction sealer, and a belt wheel cap tightener will be on display. All of the FILAMATIC filling systems can incorporate a wide-variety of functions and accommodate free-flowing, semi-viscous, and viscous products. Equipment can be designed to work with an array of container types including bottles, vials, and tubes.
