THE DEMANDS OF MODERN FILLING MACHINES
In today’s fast-paced production environments, filling machines are essential to industries such as beverage bottling, pharmaceutical packaging, cosmetics production, and chemical processing. These machines operate at extremely high speeds, often performing thousands of filling cycles per hour with consistent precision.
Actuated valves – controlled by pneumatic or electric actuators – are vital in these systems. They regulate the flow of liquids into bottles, cans, or containers with exceptional accuracy. In high-speed filling applications, the valve opening and closing frequency is far greater than in most industrial processes, making durability a top priority.
WHY QUALITY MATTERS: DURABILITY UNDER EXTREME CYCLES
While standard valves in many applications might operate only a few times an hour, filling machine valves may cycle tens of thousands of times daily. Low-quality valves quickly wear out, causing downtime, costly repairs, and production losses.
Convalve actuated valves are designed for these extreme demands. Key benefits include:
- Exceptional Cycle Life – Maintains performance after millions of cycles.
- Fast Response – Precise filling volumes at maximum production speed.
- Corrosion and Chemical Resistance – Handles a variety of liquids, from water to aggressive chemicals.
- Hygienic Design – Meets international sanitary standards for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical production.
These features improve uptime, reduce maintenance, and ensure consistent product quality.
