ABSTRACT:
An automated apparatus and method for filling a container with a fluid. This apparatus is particularly well suited for the filling of relatively large containers of the type that utilize removable, threaded plugs for gaining access into the containers. For such containers, the apparatus can perform the tasks usually involved in the typical filling operation (e.g., aligning, opening, fluid dispensing, closing and sealing the container). Such automated tasks are especially relevant when dealing with fluids which are toxic, inclined to foaming or likely to mix readily with the surrounding gaseous environment. The apparatus includes a container transport system to coordinate the movement of a container between and its interaction with the following task oriented assemblies: bung alignment, kicker, bung cap handling, fluid dispensing, and sealing cap installation.
