No Fill
Feature
Given many of our new and existing customers now face more stringent regulations for the control of waste, Pacific designed and installed a "no bottle/no fill" feature in 2005. The system is based on our "patent pending" internal turret recirculation design. The approach maintains accurate fill levels and easily cleans in place.
While the feature is available as an option on all of our new models, it cannot be easily retrofitted on existing installations.

Arm Guidelines
The "restraining" function holds the stator plate in the proper position. This is important to ensure the rotating plate receives the proper amount of product.
The "adjustment" function provides flexibility to improve fill appearance. The restraining arm can be "advanced" or "retracted" to set the desired start of fill and end of fill location. This adjustment eliminates aeration and stringing.
There are two rules to always follow with the restraining arm:
- Always loosen the restraining arm when changing the turret height. If the arm is not loosened before the turret height adjustment, the arm will bind up and cause uneven pressure on the stator plate. This will cause premature and uneven wear in the stator and rotor plates
- Always make sure the restraining arm is level. If you are does not have a level indicator, purchase and install a device as shown in the photo. Always verify that the restraining arm is set to a level state. This will ensure even wear of the filling turret.
