Tiltable table for packaging liquids, particularly animal semen, in flexible artificial insemination pouches

Abstract

A device for packaging liquids, particularly animal semen, in pre-scaled and pre-cut pouches provided in a roll and designed for artificial insemination. The device includes a tiltable table with a base enabling adjustment of the tilt angle of the table to facilitate gravitational filling of pouches, a pouch filling station and a sealing station. The device also includes a movable filling needle inserted into a removable needle guide and mounted on a block that includes an inductive proximity sensor for generating an alternating magnetic field which is automatically stopped when a metal liner is inserted into the needle guide following needle insertion into the pouch. Cessation of the alternating magnetic field triggers the sealing of the pouch.
