ABSTRACT:
A food product fill pump apparatus and method are disclosed which greatly facilitate accurate and efficient sequential filling of containers with food product which is flowable in nature. The fill pump is adapted for use with associated packaging machinery for placing predetermined quantities of food product in a plurality of containers which are sequentially presented for filling. The fill pump includes a reciprocating positive displacement piston pump and a rotary valve which are cyclically operable for intermittent filling of the containers with a metered quantity of food product. The fill pump further includes a novel product accumulator arrangement which is adapted to compensate for surges or other fluctuations in the supply of food product to the fill pump so that the pressure of food product received by the piston pump is generally constant. The product accumulator includes an expansible chamber which is adapted to receive and discharge quantities of food product in response to fluctuations in product delivery. Automatic controls associated with the accumulator function to temporarily increase or decrease the filling speed of the apparatus when the accumulator has more or less than the desired quantity of food product therein. In this way, highly accurate quantities of food product are delivered to each of the containers being filled, thus greatly enhancing the overall efficiency and economy of the packaging operation.
