BUILT-IN FULLY INTEGRATED
LABELING SYSTEM
CHASE-LOGEMAN CORPORATION has experienced
record demand in recent years for its unique
“fully integrated and built-in” PRINT & APPLY LABELING
SYSTEM. This proven Labeling System option is ideal for
the company’s Fill & Cap, and Fill, Plug & Cap monoblock
machinery models for Diagnostic and Pharmaceutical
applications. The labeling system option expands the
ever dependable filling, plugging, and capping functions,
on a single frame. Customers particularly enjoy this added
function, which delivers a compact space saving and cost
saving unit. The labeling is performed “in-the-star-wheel”
with the container under full control. This is attractive feature
is great for smaller containers, virtually eliminating container
handling conveying challenges as associated with stand
alone filling, capping, and labeling equipment. Labeling
tasks range from “apply only”, to “print & apply”
for maximum
flexibility. Works well with pre-printed labels only requiring lot
and date code text, to full printing of a blank label stock.
Customers can further enhance this single operator monoblock
by adding the optional bulk bottle unscrambler for the ultimate
bottle feeding, filling, plugging, capping and labeling system.

ChaseLock® PATENT ISSUED
CHASE-LOGEMAN CORPORATION introduces
its
latest advancement in High Speed Continuous Tray
Loading.
The Model ATL-500S series Automatic
Tray Loaders
utilize servo motors to control the actual loading of vials
into the tray. 100% digital pusher set-up means minimal
training and set-up time. No tools required when
changing vial sizes, simply select next vial from menu.
New vial sizes are easily added. Aside from the wide
range of glass and plastic containers they will handle, the
ATL series can be built to load plastic trays and open end
paperboard trays as well as metal trays. As many as 400
or more vials per minute have been handled with ease.
Modular construction, A/B PanelView HMI, solid state
components, programmable logic controllers, and self
diagnostic's are utilized to control all system operations
and simplify maintenance. Options include IQ/OQ
documentation. Additional information can be obtained by
e-mail at info@chaselogeman.com.
CHASE-LOGEMAN CORPORATION has
been issued
patent number 5,813,517 for a means of using vacuum
for holding vibratory parts feeder bowls and tracks to their
vibratory base drives, eliminating the use of bolts or other
mechanical clamping means. Changing feeder bowls
and tracks can be accomplished in a few minutes with the
flick of a switch rather than the 20 - 30 minutes normally
associated with change over. This patented system is
being offered as an option on all new monoblock filling
and closing machines. This patented feature can be used
by itself or combined with the rest of the ChaseLock®
quick change container and closure change part system.

NEW
ChaseLock® QUICK CHANGE TOOLING FOR VIALS AND STOPPERS
I. VIBRATORY PARTS FEEDERS CHASE-LOGEMAN
has developed a means of using vacuum for holding
stopper, plug and cap parts feeder bowls and tracks to
their vibratory base drives. We have eliminated the use
of bolts or other mechanical clamping means.
Changing feeder bowls and tracks can be accomplished
in less than a minute with the flick of a switch. Not the
20 to 30 minutes normally associated with part feeder
change over. This is the newest addition to the
ChaseLock® quick change system of no tools bottle,
plug, stopper, and cap change parts.
CHASE-LOGEMAN has developed a means (patent

cap parts feeder bowls and tracks to their vibratory base
drives. We have eliminated the use of bolts or other

with the flick of a switch. Not the 20 to 30 minutes
normally associated with part feeder change over. This is
the newest addition to the ChaseLock® quick change
system of no tools bottle, plug, stopper, and cap change
parts.
II. VIALS AND BOTTLES Vial and
bottle change over is as
simple as lifting off one set of circular guide rails and star
wheel and replacing them with another. There are no
bolts or set screws to loosen or remove.
III. CLOSURES Plug, stopper, and
cap bridges
(escapements) are removed by activating a small lever on
each bridge post and sliding the bridge on or off the post.
The plug or stopper plunger snaps onto the plunger rod
similar to a quick change hose coupling.
IV. RETROFITTING The best news
of all is that most
existing Chase-Logeman plugging, stoppering, and
capping machines can be converted to the ChaseLock®
quick change system. Call or write to Joel Slazyk at
Chase-Logeman for additional information.

UNIQUE
MONOBLOCK WITH 100% CONTINUOUS CHECK WEIGHING
GREENSBORO, NC — Chase-Logeman
introduces its
latest design Model FCC2-12H automatic liquid filling and
screw capping machine featuring dual filling, dual fill level
checking, dual capping stations and alpha/numeric
display. An unusual two compartment plastic diagnostic
bottle requires different fill media in each chamber,
verification of each fill and screw capping each chamber
individually on a single pass through the machine.
Provision is made for filling and capping a single
chamber only for check weighing. Rates of 50 - 70 bottles
per minute are possible depending upon fill. Available
options such as sanitary conveyor design, peristaltic
filling, fast product changeover with quick change (no
tools) bottle, plug and cap change parts, an A-B
PanelView 550® operator panel, connection to higher
level PLC or line monitor, automatic plastic bottle sorter
and built-in automatic tray loader increase the efficiency
of this versatile machine.

CUSTOM
VERSATILE MONOBLOCK CAN ALSO APPLY DIFFICULT NASAL SPRAY CAP
Greensboro, NC — Chase-Logeman
Corporation
introduces its latest automatic liquid filling and capping
system with 100% check weighing designed for
applications in pharmaceutical, biological, and diagnostic
filling. It is ideal for R&D, pilot plant, and low speed
production up to 35 vials per minute. Rates to 60 bottles
per minute or better are possible without check weighing.
The Model FCC3-12H three function
Monoblock features a
unique two star wheel design that gives you the flexibility
to isolate specific functions as needed. Filling and check
weighing occur on the first star wheel with a non-
destructive sample check weighing with direct feed-back
control to the filling pump (either peristaltic or servo
piston) that adjusts fill volumes automatically. The
sample check weighing takes place in the star wheel
utilizing two check weighing stations, a tare weight and a
gross weight station. The tare weight is taken at the first
station and data transferred to a microprocessor. After
filling, the gross weigh station reweighs the vial to
determine the gross weight. The microprocessor
computes the difference between the tare weight and
gross weight to determine the product weight (net weight).
Each check weigh is compared to the target fill volume,
the differencial value is then used to make trim
adjustments to the fill volume, based on short term
running average, i.e. weigh 10 shots, feed back to filler.
The trimming of the process allows
improved accuracy
without operator intervention or attention. Screw capping
or stoppering occurs on the second star wheel. The
machine illustrated includes a sanitary conveyor, a multi
unit laminar flow enclosure, and both peristaltic and
piston filling. Other options are available including
ChaseLock® no tool, quick-change bottle and closure
change parts.

DUAL
CHAMBER BOTTLE FILLING AND CAPPING FOR DIAGNOSTICS
Greensboro, NC — Chase-Logeman has developed
a unique proprietary means of applying a flanged nasal
atomizing spray pump cap assembly at rates up to 60 per
minute without activating the spray pump in the process.
This feature is available on their Model FS series filling
and stoppering machines and can also be adapted to
their filling, plug inserting and screw capping machines.
The unique design of a movable escapement receives
the spray cap from a feeder track at one station. At the
following station a ram pushes the escapement down
which snaps the spray cap onto the bottle. Since the spray
cap is contained in the escapement no force is applied to
the spray head.
The Model FS series offers sanitary
conveyor design,
ChaseLock® no tools-quick change vial and stopper
change parts and a choice of filling systems. The model
illustrated has a ceramic piston and cylinder pump. The
stopper feeder bowl and track system utilizes a unique,
patent pending, vacuum attachment means requiring no
tools or other devices to hold the feeding system in place
and allows instant release at the flick of a switch. Vial or
bottle change parts simply lift off and are replaced with a
new set and hand-locked in place. The stopper
escapement is removed with a twist of a lever and
replaced. The insertion plunger snaps into place like a
quick change hose coupling. A complete change over
is made in a matter of minutes.
