Turret
Take-Apart
Teflon
Our new "take-apart" design allows the Teflon ring to be replaced without the need to replace the upper stainless steel plate.
A new Teflon ring is machined complete with fill zones and fastening locators. It is sealed with the stainless plate via a static o-ring seal and fastened via several stainless steel fasteners. Replacement of a worn Teflon unit does not require the lengthy epoxy process. Instead the fastening system allows your mechanics to perform the operation in a few hours.

Top Plate
Removal
In the event removal of your top plate is required, it is important to follow the recommended steps in order to eliminate the risk of permanently damaging the filling turret:
- Turn the machine air OFF -- not required for non-air operated machines.
- Remove the air manifold -- not required for non-air operated machines.
- Loosen the set screw and remove the hub nut.
- Detach the restraining arm from the filling turret top plate.
- Attach the hoist chains to the 3 lift pins located on the filling turret top plate.
- Use the hoist to slowly raise the top plate.
- Once the top plate is removed, place the plate on a piece of cardboard in order
to avoid damage to the Teflon surface.
Finally, always remember to think safety first. Taking your time and following the recommend procedure will avoid operator injury in addition to costly damage to the filling system.
