ABA Cone Fill Head have been used with great success for thick and thin products, from stains to high viscosity latex paints. They eliminate the stringing problems associated with capillary tube styles.

The cone opening can easily be adjusted anywhere from fully closed to a full 1 inch opening with the adjustable stroke air cylinder giving excellent product flow control while still allowing large product volumes.

ABA Fill Heads are available in many different configurations with different sized nozzles for filling Pint Cans to 5 Gallon Pails and inlet manifolds in 2 inch or 3 inch diameter.  Our fill heads are also available with special flush attachment nozzles.  The flush attachment nozzles provide a quick connector for attaching hoses to run product or cleaner through the fill heads without having containers underneath.

What are the benefits of the ABA Cone Style Fill Heads?

The cup and cone fill head was originally designed to eliminate the problems associated with “stringing” from capillary style nozzles. It was extremely successful in this area and has proved to be a great success in filling latex paints, oil based paints as well as stains and deck sealers.
 
The biggest single benefit is that the cone style fill head gives a drip free cut off eliminating problems with drips on the container.
 
Additionally there is not need to change nozzles when filling different viscosity paints, the cone style fill heads are used for stains, deck sealers, oil and latex paint and heavy adhesives with great success.
 
Maintenance is kept to an absolute minimum – the capillary nozzle has to be unscrewed and removed periodically to clean out skin and debris which can get caught in the tubes, this does not occur with the cone fill head – in addition there is no rubber valve seat pad to replace, the cone fill nozzle uses a stainless steel valve foot and seat giving increased life to the whole assembly.
 
There is, unquestionably, substantially less downtime when using the cone fill head assembly, instead of a capillary style assembly.
 
Clean up is simple, there are no screens or tubes to clean, it can be flushed in place and any paint splatter buildup can be wiped clean from the underside exterior.
 
Pricing of the assembly is very competitive, especially when compared to a 3” inlet capillary speed head, the cup and cone fill head is almost half the price and under half the weight (14#’s compared to 30#’s), fill speeds are equal to, or better than, the capillary head in almost every application.

Diving probe fill heads are available in a variety of diameter and lengths.
