The apparatus, system, and method provides an instrumented container with a contour similar to that of a production container which includes two portions spaced apart and joined by a torque sensor. The instrumented container also includes a processor which directs the periodic sampling of data measured by the torque sensor during the capping process, and a memory which stores a plurality of data values. The apparatus, system, and method provides a reusable instrumented container form to which a portion of an actual production container may be attached. The instrumented container is indistinguishable, for purposes of the capping line, from a regular production container. It may thus be used to test individual spindles, randomly test application torque, verify set application torques, and provide accurate information as to the impact of a particular dye or other variable on bottle capping.

Torque data logging apparatus, system, and method

A filler product supply system () and method using two or more conduits () to deliver filler product under pressure from product reservoirs () to in fluid isolation to a supply manifold (). Filler product is further delivered in fluid isolation from supply manifold () through conduits () to two or more filling heads (). Downstream from filling heads (), the previously isolated fluid lines are combined to introduce two or more distinct filler products into a single container without creating a homogenous mixture.

Dual meter filler apparatus and method

A filler product supply apparatus (10) and method has one or more conduits (17) for delivering filler product under pressure to a manifold (30). Filler product is delivered through manifold (30) to one or more filling heads (18, 28) integral with the manifold. The filling heads (18, 28) deliver the filler product directly from the manifold into containers.
