A self-shielding accelerator is provided, which includes an accelerator assembly, a high-frequency electrode plate, a rectification and voltage multiplication assembly, a solenoid-type transformer assembly, a cooling system assembly and a shielding steel cylinder. The self-shielding accelerator further includes a steel cylinder base connected to the shielding steel cylinder. The accelerator assembly is horizontally fixed to the steel cylinder base. The rectification and voltage multiplication assembly is fixed to the steel cylinder base by a support plate. The high-frequency electrode plate and the solenoid-type transformer assembly are connected to the steel cylinder base through multiple horizontally arranged support columns. The cooling system assembly is fixed to the shielding steel cylinder. The self-shielding accelerator adopts a fully horizontal self-shielding structure, and can be seamlessly joined to the filling production line, which makes online radiation processing possible. A PET plastic bottle production line utilizing the accelerator is also provided.

The disclosure concerns a dispensing system, having at least one dispense location with at least one dispensing head configured to dispense a beverage through a bottom portion of a container. In one aspect, the dispensing head may dispense a plurality of different beverage ingredients which a user may select to dispense a custom beverage. In another aspect the dispensing system comprises a modular dispensing system having a plurality of dispense locations each connected through piping to a central, remote ingredient system.

A method of forming a container from a plastic preform while using a liquid as a blow medium. During the method, liquid is withdrawn from the container to reduce pressure within the container prior to disengaging of the injection head from the container. In one aspect the method involves the opening of a recirculation valve to reduce the pressure. The opening of the recirculation valve allowing air dispersed within the liquid to rise to the top of the container before disengaging of a forming head from the container. As a result, splashing and spillage of liquid from the neck of the container is eliminated when the forming head disengages from the container.

A device for filling a container with a filling product includes a filling valve for influencing the supply of the filling product into the container to be filled, generally during the transport, by means of a container transporting device, of the containers to be filled, a dosing valve for dosing a dosing product from a dosing product reservoir into the filling valve, and a main component reservoir for providing a main component at the filling valve. A dosing product changing device is provided for changing the dosing product in the dosing product reservoir during the filling operation.

A method comprising controlling a beverage-filling system that comprises a filling machine with a ring bowl that feeds beverage to filling elements, each having a valve and a flow meter includes deriving a flow signal and using it to derive a regulating signal for regulating an inflow of beverage into the ring bowl, thereby maintaining a target level of beverage in the ring bowl. The flow signal comes from either summing signals from all flow meters to obtain aggregate quantity of beverage being filled into all containers or a calculation that relies on a measured speed of the filling machine, the number of filling elements in the filling machine, and the volumes of the bottles to be filled.
