Abstract
To fill containers with fluid with good reproducibility in a short time. It has an exciting frequency setting unit 62 for setting an exciting frequency in each of electromagnetic flow meters at a desired frequency and synchronization units 7, 63 for synchronizing excitation timing in each of the electromagnetic flow meters.
Claims6
A filling machine, comprising:
- a plurality of filling pipes placed in proximity to each other for injecting fluid into each of a plurality of containers;
- a valve provided for each of said filling pipes for opening and closing each of said filling pipes based on an open signal and a close signal respectively;
- an electromagnetic flow meter provided for each of said filling pipes for calculating a flow based on electromotive force generated by applying an alternating field to said fluid in each of said filling pipes and outputting a flow signal;
- control means for outputting said open signal to each of said valves, and also outputting said close signal to each of said valves based on said flow signal outputted from each of said electromagnetic flow meters after outputting said open signal so as to fill each of said containers with a fixed amount of said fluid;
- exciting frequency setting means for setting an exciting frequency in each of said electromagnetic flow meters at a desired frequency;
- and
- synchronization means for synchronizing excitation timing in each of said electromagnetic flow meters.
