DTM Purefil 2000 Walking Beam In-Line Flow Meter Filler

The DTM Packaging Volumetric in-line filler incorporates a sanitary design of the entire product path within the filler, eliminating all points subject to potential contamination. All product supply connections, pipes, fittings and valves utilize sanitary type (TRI-CLAMP) fittings and components. Volumetric measuring is accomplished by the use of electromagnetic flowmeters. The  working principle of these flowmeters is based upon Faraday’s law of magnetic induction. Conductive product passing though a magnetic field within the meter generates an induced voltage. The induced voltage is proportional to the flow velocity. Two  electrodes, positioned inside the meter in direct contact with the product, sense the induced voltage. The volume dosed is  computed on the basis of the pipe diameter and the detected velocity of the product passing through the meter.

The flow meters supplied on DTM Packaging fillers guarantee very accurate measuring and do not require any special maintenance. The dosing operations are controlled by a dedicated PLC installed within the filling frame. When the preset fill value has been reached, the PLC initiates the closing of the associated filling valve and then reports the statistical values to the fill control system. The product enters the meter from the filler supply manifold tubes. The product exits the meter while at the same time the volume is measured.

DTM Packaging pneumatic actuated fill valves control the final dosing. The product is discharged through the nozzle and then into  the waiting container. The product path from the main supply entry point into the filler through the discharge of the fill valves has  been designed to meet sanitary design requirements.
