FROM CRANDALL INTERNATIONAL BY ODEN

WORLD CLASS PACKAGING MACHINERY FOR THE FOOD, CHEMICAL AND PETROLEUM INDUSTRIES


CONTAINERS:

The DNx-25-SD fillers are capable of open top containers from 2 to 25 liters (half to 6 gal.) They are normally used for filling containers from 10 to 25 liters (2.5-6 gal) for most of their fills.

PRODUCTS

The DNx-25-SD models can fill non-foaming liquid and semi-liquid products with viscosities up to 500,000 cps if the product will level off in the container when poured.

Contact parts are available in brass & steel (standard), 316 Stainless Steel, Sanitary (3A) Stainless Steel, and Titanium to meet the needs of most filling situations.

OPERATION

The operator places an empty container on the first filling platform and presses the operating button. The nozzle opens and Fast-Fill begins. When the Slow-Flow Weight is reached, the product flow is reduced until the shut-off weight is reached and the nozzle closes. After beginning the fill at the first nozzle, the operator places the next container below the second nozzle and begins the fill. He continues until all the nozzles have been started. At this time he returns to the first nozzle, discharges the filled container, places the next empty container, and begins the fill. He will repeat this at all the nozzles.

The operator will usually place the lid before discharging the filled container. The filled container will exit the machine and pass through a pail closer such as out CLA-25 or RPC models.

WEIGHING DEVICE/ACCURACY:

The machine uses electronic load cells with digital indicators. The load cell is incremented to 0.02 kg or 0.05 lbs. Fast-Fill/Slow-Fill is included on the machine. Fill accuracy is maintained at +/-1 increment of target weight. (To +/- 0.1%)

The standard model uses a preset tare. The operator will place an empty container on the filling platform before filling and press the tare button. This will be maintained as the tare for all the fill, or until the operator tares another empty container. Automatic Tare for each container is optional.

INSTALLATION:

The machine is shipped assembled. It must be placed in its operating position and connected to the electric service, compressed air source, and product supply. The machine includes its own filter, regulator and lubricator for the pneumatic system.

SUPPLY OF PRODUCT:

Product may be supplied to the machine from a gravity source (elevated tank) or from a pump. The maximum pressure acceptable on the product line is 3 bar (40 p.s.i.). If a pump is used, it should be a non-surging type and have the ability to limit the pressure at the machine product connections.

CHANGE OF CONTAINER:

When changing containers, the weight settings must be changed and the height of the nozzle must be changed. The weight settings are entered on the keypad. The nozzle height is adjusted by a rack and gear system.

CHANGE OF PRODUCT:

To change the product, the product source is disconnected and the contact parts drained. The contact parts are then flushed with a solvent.

The machine may be equipped with removable product contact parts to permit all the contact parts to be quickly removed and replaced by a second contact parts unit to allow them to be cleaned at a remote cleaning station.

See Options: CIP nozzle, Sanitary Contact Parts.

MAINTENANCE:

The machine has a heavy duty welded steel frame. The standard paint is a stainless steel pigment polyurethane coating which is approved by the U.S.D.A. for use in food plants. The construction is open so that it can be easily cleaned. Key parts are stainless steel. Most system components are in protective enclosures.

The pneumatic and electrical systems have visual and tactile indicators for easy "trouble shooting." An illustrated installation/ operation / maintenance manual is included.

The regular maintenance includes lubrication of moving parts, emptying the pneumatic filter regularly, filling the pneumatic lubricator, and regularly cleaning the machine.

SAFETY:

The operator has an emergency stop botton to terminate the fill if he sees a problem. There are no large moving parts.

NOISE CONTROL:

The 'A' level is less than 30 db at 1 meter. Cylinders exhaust through mufflers inside the control box.

UTILITIES REQUIRED:

Electric:
The scales and solenoids must be conneted to a clean electrical source with 110-120 v, 50-60 hz, 1 phase service.
Pneumatic:
DN2-25-SD requires approximately 30 liters/min. at 6 bar (1 cu. ft/min at 80 p.s.i.).
DN3-25-SD requires approximately 45 liters/min. at 6 bar (1.5 cu. ft/min at 80 p.s.i.).
DN4-25-SD requires approximately 60 liters/min. at 6 bar (2 cu. ft/min at 80 p.s.i.).

PERSONNEL REQUIRED:

One worker is required to operate the machine. The worker will normally operate the filler, and place the lids.

OPTIONS:

Splash Reduction Nozzle: This nozzle is used when filling open top pails with low viscosity and splash greatly. It exits the product through approximately 100 small holes rather than one large stream.

CIP Nozzle: This nozzle is similar to the standard "No-Drip" nozzle, except the end has a sanitary "Tri-Clamp" flare to permit quick attachment of a hose with a "Tri-Clamp" end. With the connection of a hose to the machine's entry, it permits flushing in both directions. Containers must have a minimum opening size of 75 mm (3") diameter.

Sanitary (3A) Contact Parts: The contact parts are assembled with 3A sanitary parts which are connected with "Tri-Clamp" connectors. They substitute butterfly valves for ball valves and ther interiors are polished. This is used in many food applications and applications where cleaning must be complete and easy.

Cleanliness Options: This includes such adaptations as stainless steel frame, special shields, and other devices to ease cleaning.

Explosion Proof Operation: The machine may be equipped with electrical components suited to Class I,II; Div. I,II; Group C,D for operation in hazardous areas. The system utilizes Explosion Proof Enclosures and does not require a purge system.

Motorized Discharge Conveyor: This is recommended for most applications.

Special Adaptations: The machines my be modified to meet specific user requirements.
