Rotary Fillers
Rotary
Fillers come into play once you've broken through to the other side
for production requirements over about 70 bottles per minute. Up to
this point you can get by pretty nicely with an inline filler (unless
you have very small bottles with small fills which may allow you a
little more wiggle room). At this point it is no longer feasible to
index bottles in line (unless you go to multiple in line fillers) as
the lost time for indexing comes to a point of no return. This is
where a rotary filler pick up the slack since it can run continuously
without any indexing. Therefore speeds can be increased to as
high as 600 bottles per minute or more just by increasing the diameter
of the filling head array to increase the number of filling heads.
(Some of these guys are huge!).
The biggest
drawback of rotary fillers is that change parts are required for
different diameter bottles. But they usually only take a few
minutes to change so don't be too scared.
