ABSTRACT:
A bottle filling machine comprising a rotary spoke assembly rotating in a vertical plane on a horizontal axis carries bottles between each spoke with their open necks facing radially inward toward the central axis of the rotating spoke assembly. A valve assembly is positioned around the central axis of the rotary spoke assembly, having a rotating valve cup which rotates with the spoke assembly and bottles carried between the spokes. Filler tubes extend from discharge apertures through the rotating valve cup to the open necks of the bottles. The valve assembly includes a stationary valve plate which bears against a corresponding bearing face of the valve cup. An inlet aperture and inset distribution groove of the valve plate flows distilled water or other fill material to and through the discharge apertures of the rotating valve cup as they rotate past to thereby fill the bottles. Such inlet aperture to fill the bottles is positioned to flow fill material through the discharge apertures of the rotating valve cup and into the bottles when they reach the lower semi-circular half of the operating revolution, at which time the open necks of the bottles are above the horizontal so the fill material will not drain out. Additional inlet apertures and inset distribution grooves are provided in the stationary valve plate for delivering rinse water and pressurized air to the bottles while in the upper semi-circular half of the operating cycle, at which time the bottles are inverted enabling the rinse water to automatically drain out.
