Abstract: A device and method that relates to a swivel arrangement for a carousel filler arrangement having a rotating tank and a product pipe for transporting product into the rotating tank are disclosed. The swivel arrangement may include a tank connecting part, a pipe connecting part, a first opening for receiving a gaseous media, and a second opening for ejecting the gaseous media. A first channel may be partly defined by a protruding portion of the pipe connecting part and an outer wall of the product pipe, and a second channel may be partly defined by the protruding portion and a protruding portion of the tank connecting part.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a swivel arrangement for a carousel filler arrangement having a rotating tank (2) and a product pipe (4) for transporting product into the rotating tank. The swivel arrangement comprises a tank connecting part (6), a pipe connecting part (5), a first opening for receiving a gaseous media, a second opening for ejecting the gaseous media. A first channel is partly defined by a protruding portion of the pipe connecting part and an outer wall of the product pipe, and a second channel is partly defined by the protruding portion and a protruding portion of the tank connecting part. A gap is formed between the pipe connecting part and the protruding portion of the tank connecting part, the gap is located between the second channel and the second opening thereby forming a particle barrier whereby, in use, particles are hindered from entering the second channel by a flow of gaseous media from the first opening to the second opening via the first and second channels.

Abstract: The invention relates to a swivel arrangement for a carousel filler having a rotating tank (2) and a product pipe (4) for transporting product into the rotating tank, is provided. The swivel arrangement comprises a tank connecting part (6) arranged to rotate with the rotating tank, a product pipe connecting part (5) arranged to at least partly surround the tank connecting part and an intermediate part (7) arranged between the tank connecting part and the product pipe connecting part, the intermediate part being arranged to rotate with a rotational speed different from a rotational speed of the tank connecting part. The invention also relates to a carousel filler comprising such a swivel arrangement.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a height adjustable desktop stand. The height adjustable desktop stand comprises: a platform (2); a first and a second leg element (4, 7) pivotally connected to each other forming a configuration as a pair of scissors, wherein the first leg element (4) at a first end (6) thereof is pivotally connected to the platform (2), and wherein the second leg element (7) at a first end (9) thereof is adapted to be connected to the platform (2) via a locking arrangement (10) having a plurality of locking positions; and a spring element (14; 18; 24) connected between on the one hand the second leg element (7) and on the other hand the first leg element (4) or the platform (2) and being adapted to force the first end (9) of the second leg element (7) in a direction towards the first end (6) of the first leg element (4).

Abstract: A controlled flow filling system is used with a flowable product filling apparatus. The filling system includes a first, upstream V-track valve in series with a second, downstream umbrella valve to provide a substantially paraboloid liquid flow profile of the fluid while filling an associated container. The filling system is configured such that a substantial portion of the pressure drop associated with the flowing fluid occurs at the V-track valve cone to reduce spraying and loss of the fluid product at the umbrella valve. The filling system is used in a filling apparatus that uses pumps or a pressured gas blanket to provide motive force to drive the fluid through the apparatus.
