Turret
Height
Adjustment
While the design on older machines is based on a hydraulic lift unit, the new design is based on an AC motor and clutch and offers the benefits described below.
New Approach: The automatic turret lift system features an AC motor, lube-for-life speed reducer, air-operated safety clutch, reversing contract switch with motor overload relay, motor disconnect and drive sprocket.
Unlike the hydraulic approach, the lowering of the filling turret no longer relies on gravity. Instead, it operates on a "pull" approach which is a safe design practice. Similarly, raising the turret uses a "push" approach via the shaft screw action.
The result is a low maintenance system that is less reliant on air and offers safe turret motion with exact precision.

On parts orders placed for air manifolds, you will now need to purchase the fastening band that goes around the manifold. Important Note: Once the band is purchased, you do not need to order one in the future.
The bands are available in either 5" or 7" sizes and cost $65.00.

We do, however, have a few reconditioned frames. The frames are recondition to like-new condition. The top deck is constructed from 304 stainless steel. The lower frame is steel with multiple coats of Steel-It paint.
If this arrangement is feasible for your new filling machine configuration, we offer a $7,500.00 discount.

Air
Pressure
Settings
The machine must always be supplied with 80 to 100 PSI of clean, dry air with approximately 10 CFM
While our newer machines utilize less air, we have included a complete list of the various air requirements below:
- Pump Clutch (Older Machines): 70 PSI
- Air Safety Switches (Older Machines): 50 PSI
- Turret Height Adjustment System: 50 PSI
- Air Manifold for Filling Valves: 25 to 30 PSI
- Vacuum System for No-Drip Product Removal: 60 PSI
