Filed:

Nov 2, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/590095

Inventors:

Michael Eginton - Glen Arm MD, US
John M. Chopper - Pasadena MD, US

International Classification:

B65B 3/12

US Classification:

141 9, 141 94

Abstract:

A semi-automatic benchtop filling system that allows the user to switch between pump technologies while utilizing one base unit. The base unit is outfitted to accommodate peristaltic, lobe, gear, and piston pumps providing a maximum amount of flexibility and versatility in one unit. The base unit employs a computerized servo motor control system and docking hardware for driving any of the four different pump types. The system is designed to automate the filling of sample containers regardless of which pump is mounted by tare weighting, and the drive will adjust itself to dispense the correct weight. The pump drive includes appropriate reduction gearing and quick disconnect flexible couplings for each of the different pump types, a side-mounted adapter for connecting any of the peristaltic, gear and lobe pumps, and a separate piston drive assembly and dock-connector at the rear for a piston pump. The device includes a touch-screen interface with control software for user-setup, establishing different fill recipes, and run time.
