Another type of filling machine is the rotary valve piston filler. This type of filler differs from the check valve type in that it is not self-priming but instead is fed from a hopper above. In betwen the hopper and discharge is a rotary valve that opens between the hopper and cylinder on the intake stroke, then rotates 90 degrees between the cylinder and dispense tube for the discharge stroke. The big advantage of a rotary valve piston filler is not only its ability to fill thick pastes but its ability to also fill products with suspended solids such as potato salad, salsas or any other chunky product. As with most piston filling machines accuracy is within 12 percent, plus or minus. A rotary valve piston filling machine can be purchased as a single or double headed benchtop model, or configured as a multiple head automatic piston filling system. Easy no-tool disassembly using triclamp fittings, rotary valve piston fillers are great for chemicals, foods, cosmetics and any number of other thick or suspen

Busch Machinery carries several types of capping equipment including cap tighteners, automatic screw cappers, ROPP cappers, snap cappers and lidding machines. Inline screw capping machines are among the most popular models we sell because they are generally easy to changeover without the need for expensive change parts. However chuck cappers offer much better torque consistency and can be configured for high speed rotary capping applications. Oftentimes our customers purchase cap tighteners for retorquing caps after induction sealing (which tends to loosen caps), or for various specialty caps like trigger sprayers or pump spray assemblies. ROPP capping machines use a blank shell and knurl the threading onto the cap after application to the bottle with special chucks that run the threads on the cap while rotating around it.

The range of filling equipment options goes way beyond a simple liquid filling machine such as a basic pressure overflow filler. Filling machinery also encompasses powder filling machines of several types such as Net Weight Fillers, Auger Filling machines, and volumetric fillers. And of course liquid filling equipment has a number of options too such as pressure fillers, siphon fillers, vacuum fillers, piston filling machines, and other types of volumetric filling systems. But even within these types of liquid fillers there are variations such as viscosity of the liquid, its foaming characteristics, or even thick or thin liquids with solids such as salsa, potato salads or fine particulates and abrasives such as hand cleaners. And beyond powder filling and liquid filling machinery are counting machinery for tablets, capsules and softgels as needed for the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, or more specialized counters needed for parts packaging.

Siphon Fillers are the simplest type of semi-automatic filler available and are very affordable (under $3, 900) systems for bottling free flowing liquids. Since this filling system operates by siphon it is impossible to overfill a bottle since the level in the bottle is set to the level in the tank. All stainless steel contact parts and tank makes this usefull for a variety of products such as water, chemicals, non-carbonated beverages as well as a variety of cosmetic products like lotions and light shampoos. Siphon filling machines are so simple all you need to do is gravity flow your product into the float valve level controlled tank, adjust the bottle stand to the right height, start the siphon, and start producing. Fills 4 oz to 1 gallon containers easily and faster than you might think. Piston Fillers - Check Valve Type Another simple filling system is a check-valve operated piston filling machine for product consistencies ranging from light liquids to lotions. An attractive feature of this style of piston filler is that it is self priming for most products. In other words you simply drop a hose into your product and the piston filling system will pull the product up on each stroke than dispense the volume of product you set the machine for into your container. Accuracy of plus or minus one-half of a percent is typical for this kind of machine. CIP (clean in place) for many products and easy no tool disassemblyassembly for thorough cleaning. Great as a single head or two head tabletop filler, or can be ganged together for fully automatic filling operations. Systems run completely on air so check-valve piston fillers are great for hazardous areas or full washdown environments.
