Abstract
A machine and system are disclosed for filling containers with food products, such as liquid and semi-solid dairy products. The machine is driven by solenoid-controlled pneumatics and a servo-motor, all of which can be controlled by computer. The machine and system provide greater flexibility in changing the machine over from one product to another. The system also allows remote monitoring of the operation of the machine.
