Abstract
A rotary filling machine includes a hub member and a hub insert. The hub member includes an internal bore defining an inner surface portion with a plurality of material transfer openings. The hub insert includes a portion disposed within the bore, wherein the portion includes an outer surface portion that includes a plurality of material transfer openings. One of the hub member or the hub insert is rotatable and the other of the hub member or the hub insert is stationary.
Claims20
A rotary filling machine, comprising:
- a hub member including a first end a second end and an internal bore extending from the first end toward the second end, the internal bore defining an inner surface portion with a plurality of material transfer openings;
- a hub insert having a first end and a second end, at least part of the hub insert disposed within the bore, wherein the part of the hub insert includes an external sidewall defining an outer surface portion that includes a plurality of material transfer openings;
- wherein one of the hub member or the hub insert is rotatable and the other of the hub member or the hub insert is stationary;
- wherein the inner surface portion and the outer surface portion are in an axially aligned and mating relationship such that rotation of the one of the hub member or the hub insert causes a relative sequential movement in and out of fluid transfer alignment as between each of the material transfer openings of the hub member and each of the material transfer openings of the hub insert.
