SURGE CHAMBER	A CHAMBER THAT WILL ALLOW CONTINUOUS PRODUCT FLOW FROM THE PRODUCT LINE WITH INTERMITTENT FILLING OF CONTAINERS. IT IS USED TO CONNECT THE PRODUCT SUPPLY LINE DIRECTLY INTO THE PRODUCT VALVE. THIS CHAMBER HAS A VOLUME OF 350 CUBIC INCHES AND INCORPORATES A SEALED PISTON TO SEPARATE THE AIR CHAMBER FROM THE PRODUCT CHAMBER.
TELESCOPIC FILL HEAD	THIS UNIT IS MANUALLY PLACED INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE CONTAINER AND THEN FLOATS UP AS THE PRODUCT FLOWS INTO THE CONTAINER. THE OPERATOR THEN REMOVES THE FILLED CONTAINER AND PLACES THE UNIT INTO THE NEXT CONTAINER.
TOOLING	MACHINE PARTS NEEDED TO RUN A PARTICULAR CONTAINER THROUGH ONE MACHINE.
TOOLING CART	A STAINLESS STEEL CART WITH CASTERS IS USED TO STORE EXTRA TOOLING.
TOP DRESSER	ADDS A SMALL AMOUNT OF TOPPING (SUCH AS NUTS OR SYRUP) INTO THE CONTAINER JUST PRIOR TO LIDDING.
VARIEGATOR	AN INLINE DEVICE CONSISTING OF A PRIMARY PRODUCT INLET AND A SECONDARY PRODUCT INLET. A ROTATING INJECTOR NOZZLE DESIGNED TO INJECT THE SECONDARY PRODUCT INTO THE PRIMARY PRODUCT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS AS THE PRIMARY PRODUCT IS PUMPED THROUGH THE DEVICE. FOR EXAMPLE: INSERTING A CHOCOLATE SWIRL PATTERN INTO ICE CREAM.
VARIEGATOR MODEL #107V	THIS MODEL USES A TWO, THREE OR FOUR LEGGED NOZZLE WITH THE LEGS AT 90 DEGREES TO PRODUCT FLOW. THE LEGS ARE MADE OUT OF 3/8" OR 1/2" DIAMETER TUBING AND SLOTTED ACROSS THE BOTTOM TO CREATE A HORIZONTAL WEB OF SECONDARY PRODUCT IN A SPIRAL STAIRCASE PATTERN. A VARIETY OF QUICK-CHANGE NOZZLES ARE AVAILABLE TO CREATE DIFFERENT REVEL EFFECTS. A VARIABLE SPEED AIR OR ELECTRIC DRIVE IS USED TO SPIN THE INJECTOR AND ADJUST THE PATTERNS.
VARIEGATOR MODEL #115V	THIS MODEL USES A THREE TO SIX TUBE INJECTOR WELDMENT WITH EACH TUBE INLINE WITH PRODUCT FLOW BUT ROTATING ON A DIFFERENT RADIUS TO CREATE "VERTICAL RINGS" OR "MULTIROPE" TYPE PATTERNS IN THE CONTAINER. TUBE SIZES VARY FROM 3/8" TO 3/4". A VARIETY OF INJECTORS ARE AVAILABLE TO CREATE DIFFERENT REVEL EFFECTS. A VARIABLE SPEED AIR OR ELECTRIC DRIVE IS USED TO SPIN THE INJECTOR.
2" VERTICAL CUT-OFF SPOUT	THIS CUT-OFF SPOUT IS NEEDED FOR MORE ACCURATE FILLING OPERATIONS.
VOLUMETRIC	THE FILL IS MEASURED BY VOLUME NOT BY WEIGHT OR TIMED FILL. EVERY CONTAINER IS FILLED TO THE SAME VOLUME.
