Simultaneous multiple container size filler

A fluid production line for fluid containers of different sizes, the fluid production line comprising:

• a feed conveyor mechanism including a first feed conveyor, a second feed conveyor and a third feed conveyor, wherein each of the first, second and third feed conveyors is respectively configured to transport fluid containers of different sizes along the fluid production line;
• a turntable mechanism including a first section, a concentric second section and a concentric third section, wherein each of the first, second and third sections is configured to receive the fluid containers from the respective first, second and third feed conveyors and rotate about a common axis to position the fluid containers beneath a plurality of fill ports configured to fill each of the different sizes of the fluid containers positioned on the respective first, second and third sections with a desired quantity of fluid;
• and
• an output conveyor mechanism including a first output conveyor, a second output conveyor and a third output conveyor, wherein each of the first, second and third output conveyors is respectively configured to receive the filled fluid containers of different sizes from the turntable mechanism for transport along the fluid production line;
• wherein the fluid production line is configured to simultaneously fill empty fluid containers of different sizes at different rates.

A method of filling fluid containers of different sizes, the method comprising:

• transporting a first fluid container of a first size and a second fluid container of a second size along a respective first feed conveyor and second feed conveyor;
• positioning the first fluid container and the second fluid container on a respective first section and a second section of a turntable mechanism beneath a respective first fill port and a second fill port;
• and
• filling the fluid containers with respective designated quantities of fluid via the first fill port and the second fill port while rotating the first and second fluid containers about a common axis wherein the first size and the second size are different, and wherein the filling comprises filling the first fluid container from the first fill port at a first rate and filling the second fluid container from the second fill port at a second rate, wherein the first rate and the second rate are different;
• and
• receiving the filled first and second fluid containers from the turntable mechanism for transport along a respective first output conveyor and second output conveyor.
