Zusammenfassung: | Automated filling system including a reservoir, a motor and a rotary actuator supplying power to the system, a filler head, means for advancing the viscous material from the reservoir to the filler head, a rotatable cutting head depending from the filler head to (1) discharge viscous materials therethrough into a series of containers, and (2) cleanly sever the viscous materials after each container has been filled. The cutting head includes a first hollow tube that is open at its upper end and has a semicircular opening and a semicircular planar surface at its lower end, and a second, slightly larger hollow tube that is open at its upper end and has a semicircular cutting blade and a semicircular opening at its lower end. The tubes are concentrically mounted, and the rotary actuator periodically drives the tubes relative to each other. A thrust washer and resilient O-ring absorb axial movement of the tubes. |
