Abstract: An apparatus for capping containers includes at least one capping head which is moveable between a position for picking up a cap and a position for applying the cap at a neck of a container, the grip element defining a receptacle for the cap and component for the removable retention of the cap within the receptacle. A second motor component is provided to actuate the movement of the grip element in an axial direction. The apparatus also includes a control and actuation unit functionally connected to the first and second motor components and is configured to receive in input a number of data items. The control and actuation unit is configured to actuate the first and second motor components as a function of the variation of the value over time of the number of data items.

Abstract: A weight filling machine is a volumetric valve type machine. The tank of the product to be dispensed using a hydrostatic flap is replaced by a dispensing system controlled by a volumetric pump. The machine (1) for filling containers (B) with a product includes a carousel (2) for moving the containers (B) and filling valves (5), each filling valve (5) being positioned above a clamp (4). A distribution duct (6) connects the filling valves (5) with a distribution manifold (8). The distribution duct (6) having the product has a filling pressure (P1). A feed duct (9) is intercepted by a volumetric pump (10). The volumetric pump (10) moves a filling product with a discharge pressure (P) greater than the filling pressure (P1) along the feed duct (9). An adjustment member (11) of the feed pressure of the filling product is placed downstream of the volumetric pump (10).

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a machine for filling at least one container with a pourable product. The machine includes a conveyor; at least one filling unit configured to engage the at least one container; and a weighing device coupled to the at least one filling unit and configured to provide weighing information related to a weight of the at least one container during a filling operation. The weighing device includes a support unit having a supporting arm configured to hold the at least one container and configured to be elastically deformed as a function of the weight of the at least one container being filled; and a sensing unit configured to provide a contactless sensing, wherein the sensing unit is configured to detect a distance from the supporting arm to a portion of the machine facing the supporting arm, the weight of the container being a function of the distance.

Abstract: A valve is disclosed. The valve has a magnetic actuator, which is provided with a sleeve extending along an axis, with a movable core made of ferromagnetic material and axially guided by the inner surface of the sleeve, and with a magnetic stator arranged in a fixed position around the sleeve. The stator has a housing made of ferromagnetic material, a coil facing the external surface of the sleeve, and two magnets, which are aligned with the coil, are arranged on opposite axial sides of the coil, and have a same pole aimed against each other. The valve has a conduit with a valve seat axially facing a plug member, which is coaxial and fixed with respect to an end portion of the core, so as to open and close the valve seat. The core has at least one passage allowing a fluid to flow through the core.

Abstract: A filling machine for filling a container with a liquid having a gas line, a liquid supply line connectable to a liquid tank and at least one filling device. The filling device having an inlet communicating with the liquid supply line, a lower outlet and a gas port communicating with the gas line. A differential pressure sensor is connected to the gas line and the liquid supply line to determine a feedback value defined by the pressure difference between the lines. The gas line communicates with a gas tank that is separated from the liquid supply line and connected to a pressurized gas source. The gas tank is also connected to a discharge opening via valves controlled by an electronic control unit that brings the pressure difference between the liquid supply line and the gas line to a set-point corresponding to the feedback value.
