Cartridge Filling Unit
Customer Problem

Producers of materials packaged in cartridges continually encounter problems getting consistent level, void free fills. This is particularly true when filling dual type of cartridges typically used to package two component epoxies, silicones, urethanes, etc. In these cases secondary operations are normally employed to even up the quantities in each of the cartridges in order to obtain both proper cosmetic appearance, and correct ratios from the cartridges. Time consuming clean-up procedures when switching from one product to another is an equally frustrating and costly problem.

Tridak Solution

Tridak's new filling machine, which has been dubbed the FILLA overcomes these long standing problems in bench top cartridge/syringe dispense systems that will automatically fill these packages to accurate, repeatable, preset levels. Although it was specifically designed to handle medium to heavy viscosity materials, it has proven to be equally at home on many low viscosity materials. The dispenser's design guarantees consistent, void free, fills by combining bottom-up filling with a special low clearance nozzle design and adjustable cartridge/material counterbalance system. Patents are pending on both items.

Unique features include:

  • Low cost 5 to 10 gallon quick change polypropylene reservoir insert system (also with patents pending) that can be treated as permanent containers or alternatively, can be easily removed to store materials in a safe economic manner
  • Straight through flow wetted system that is easily cleaned, capable of millions of cycles, but low enough in cost to be disposable
  • Precise, adjustable, level control system
  • Built in pinch type valve to assure accurate shut-off
  • Stainless steel reservoir with pressure regulation to control flow rate
  • The ability to be fed from external tans or drums using optional pumps
  • All pneumatic operation, and automatic cycle initiated by an operator controlled foot switch or other external switch closure.


Operation

Operator places cartridge into retracted holder then allows holder to raise part into position.
The cycle is initiated (foot switch or other external signal) and the cartridge fills from the bottom up.

When the cartridge part holder has moved to its preset level the cycle automatically stops.
The operator retracts the cartridge and holder and removes the filled container.
