ADVANCED PROFILE FILLING SYSTEM (APF)
Gravfil® filling machies use our advanced profile dual-servo drive system for all
container and product types. The innovative system allows the fill speed, nozzle speed
and nozzle position to be optimised and controlled through our software.
NOZZLE
HEIGHT
If required a container can be filled from the bottom up with the filling nozzle
positioned as required during the fill cycle. The operator can maximise production
requirements using our programmable filling speed functionality.

Infinite adjustment of the nozzle position

The nozzle can be positioned just below or just above the fluid level. This guarantees
the nozzle position remains constant to the fluid level throughout the cycle.
More conventional and widely available pneumatic systems can only offer single or
dual speed functionality.
Reduce fill rate for smaller surface areas PROFILE MAPPING
