Patent number: 12110225Abstract: A container filling valve may include a shuttle and a drive sleeve that are magnetically coupled. Movement of the drive sleeve may move the shuttle from a position in which the filling valve is closed to a position in which the filling valve is open. A container handling arm may include a distal end configured to hold a container and a proximal end that includes a load cell. A low flow setpoint system may be configured to arrest closing of a filling valve when that filling valve is partially closed. A pressure control system may be configured to maintain a desired pressure in a reservoir or in a flow path from that reservoir. A product recirculation system may be configured to adjust flow rate in the product recirculation system.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2023Date of Patent: October 8, 2024Assignee: PepsiCo, Inc.Inventors: John A. Eaton, David William Martin, David Jay Warburton, Nathan John Coleman, Samuel Frank Feller, Thomas John Evans, Jason Karl Sorge, Randy A. Straub
