Fogg standard neck support provides positive container positioning during the filling process, making this simple, yet effective technology ideal for lightweight PET containers that might otherwise panel or buckle when the container opening is used to activate the contact filling valve.
How It Works:
The incoming container moves through the timing screw into the pocket of the
filler starwheel, which then transfers the container onto the pedestal and
neck support fork. The pedestal neck support raises the container against the
valve, which is opened on contact. The pedestal neck support lowers the container
after filling, closing the valve. The container in then placed in the next
pocket of the starwheel, where it transferred to the capping system.
Benefits:
• Positive placement transfer into starwheel pockets assures less spillage
• Allows lighter PET bottles in contact filling, including 15 gram, without
bottle paneling or denting
• Relatively low cost
• Works well with other types of containers and neck styles
