The monoblock Diamond has been designed and manufactured for the treatment of cylindrical aluminum cans. This monoblock enables filling and seaming all types of products, both the carbonated and flat. All details of the filling valve have been carefully designed to reach an excellent filling performance, and a simple assembly and disassembly for easy maintenance. The height adjustment of the filler is electrical; the filling head and the cam holding ring are in sync.  Through the infeed scroll and the starwheel at the filler inlet the cans are placed on the cups in correspondence to the filling valves that work with a pneumatic system recycling the compressed air, which has been previously filtered and lubricated, to obtain supple descent of the filling valve centering to avoid any shock that could damage the mouth of the can.  A cam guaranteeing a perfect tightness between the filling valve and the can is used for the descent.
